This the excerpts of the famous abdul kalam Speech Kiran shud read this.. YOU say that our government is inefficient. YOU say that our laws are too old. YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage. YOU say that the phones don’t work, the railways are a joke, the airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination. YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits. YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it? Take a person on his way to Singapore. Give him a name - YOURS. Give him a face - YOURS. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don’t throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground Links as they are. You pay $5(approx. Rs.60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity. In Singapore you don’t say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn’t dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai. YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah. YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs.650) a month to, “see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.” YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, “Jaanta hai sala main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so’s son. Take your two bucks and get lost.” YOU wouldn’t chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand. Why don’t YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo? Why don’t YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston? We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India? Once in an interview, the famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay, Mr. Tinaikar, had a point to make. “Rich people’s dogs are walked on the streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place,” he said.” And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the officers to do? Go down with broom every time their dog feels the pressure in his bowels? In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan. Will the Indian citizen do that here?” He’s right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility. We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.

Devolopement india lo undi cheyyalani ani annaru suggest how? wheres the money ?who is going to do funding ? who will listen to ur ideas ? first of all what chances you have got ? Do you really know whats the development going on in India? Do u know something called Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, that is providing employment to many landless people in Rural Areas. Do u know that the Right to Information Act, and what is the effect? Kiran garu, oka sari India lo emi developments avuthunayo koncham telusokondi, appudu mi assumptions ivandi.

Natural environment (climate, record of natural disasters) - hmm mana vallau deniki records sariga undav papam monna tsunami osthe enthamandi poyaroo kuda sariga cheppaleru entha property nastamoo kuda teleedu ! adane kadu chinna vishayam weather/ climate reports ey sariga undav.inka lucky manaku ikkada la weather antha unpredictable kadu . Well Ms Kiran, what happened during Katrina. The media in US itself lambasted how the Govt miserably failed to handle the situation. Do u want me to give the list of disasters in recent times? Power crisis in California Unable to control forest fires. Tsunami- For your very kind information, Ms Kiran, most of the victims have been compensated, houses have been rebuilt. Please check whats the status of the victims of Katrina in your beloved US of A. Mee mentality ela vundante, anything Indian is waste, anything American is great.

Kiran Garu, Venukala Katherine Mayo ane oka English aavida, 'Mother India' ane book vrasindi.Chala mandi Westerners laga adhi kuda India lo idhi baledu, adhi baledu, shara mamula. A pustakani gurinchi Mahatma Gandhi okate maata annaru 'Gutter Inspectors Report of India' ani. Meeru na article chadavandi, nenu ekkada India lo life antha perfect ani, US lo life emi baledu ani vrayaleda. Meeru chanthadantha problems vrasaru India lo, kani nenu a problems levani eppudu cheppaledhe. Nene Kadu, India lo burra vunavaru evaru a problems leru ani cheppalemu. My point was simple 'India might not be a paradise, but it certainly is not a hell on earth' evaraina anubhavinchina vadike teluthundi badha annadi vinnaroo ledo :) may be i had few bad experiances anduke naa outlook marindemo Ante India lo mi okkarikena bad experiences, naku leva, if u want me to narrate my bad experiences in India, i have lots and veti gurinchi chepthu kurchogalanu. Meeru honest ga cheppandi,show me one place in the world, where you wont have any bad experiences. Regarding your comments on bathrooms, indhaka cheppane 'Gutter Inspectors Report of India', ala vundi dani gurinchi discussion. inka america lo perige pillalane systematic ga penchuthunnaru ani cheppochhu :) Ok some interesting facts for u Ms Kiran -Many American kids cant read a proper essay -Many cant even write a decent paragraph -Most of kids growing up in America dont even know of the world outside America. These are not my assumptions, these are concerns raised by many educators in US itself, about how dumb the American Generartion is becomming. So i dont see whats systematic bringing up. Do u mean to say that because we are growing up in India, we didnt come up systematically. That is a very wide generalization. Tell me india lo unna vallaloo what percentage of people doing something for our nation? Please check out a site called www.goodnewsindia.com,this is about ordinary Indians, mind you not IIM,IIT graduates, very ordinary people, in fact some of them, semi educated, who are doing yeoman service to the communities around them. Of course they dont have fancy degress, nor do they speak good English, so the media will never notice them. IKA POTHE OKA UDYOGAM VETHUKONNI PARENTS KI FAMILY KI OKA MANCHI LIFE IVVALANI USA OCHCINA VALLU CHESINA TAPPENTI ?? INDIA AA OPPORTUNITIES PROVIDE CHESTHE ITOCHHEVARA? Tappu emi ledu, every body has the right to seek their own life. But at the same time, you dont have the right to look down upon some one just because they have choosen to stay in India. WE RESPECT YOUR CHOICE, YOU ALSO RESPECT OURS. I AM VERY SORRY TO SAY, KANI MANY NRI's HAVE A TENDENCY to LOOK DOWN UPON INDIANS. Meeru US velithe, akkada Americans mimalni bagane palakaristharu, kani akkada settle ayina manavale, posulu kodatharu, idhi pacchi nijam, meeku nachina, nacchakapoyina.

Personally i m missing my freedom.So i m definetely going back to my HOME.I do agree with Ms.kiran though.

Hi Ms.Kiran Life is not abt comparing how good bathrooms are in one country and how good in some other country. How rich and comfortable are we living. i want to mention some of my favourite quotes here Khoon jo ab na khaula.....woh khoon nahi pani hai.... Jo desh ke kaam na aaye....bekar woh jawani hai They alone who live for others the rest are more dead than alive - Swami Vivekananda. 'Nee maathrubhumi neeku yemi itchindi ani yeppudu prashninchukokoodadu nuvvu desam kosam yemi chesaavu ani alochinchaali'. Yevariki vallu swartham 'Na family Na Jeevitham Naaku places neat gaa vundaali' ani anukoni US velli India nu miss avuthunnamu anatam oka pedda fashion ayipoindi . Alaanti vallu India nu miss avuthunnamu antamu pedda joke. They will never come back to India. India's future is in the hands of today's youth. I have always found negativity abt frm india frm NRI's . Why do they leave india and settle somewhere else? Why can't instead of saying 'India is like that like this' stay back in india and develop instead of running away frm them. India provided ample oppurtunities for today's youth. Manamu yentha sampadinchina mana parents nu santhosha petta lekunda mana janme waste. How many parents are longing to see their kids who r settled in other countries and who will only visit india once in 2-3 yrs? How many of them like settling in US? Most of them will never leave india and settle with thier children in abroad. And the kids who r not born in India often referred as 'ABCD's' in USA How many of them know indian culutre and traditions ? don't u worry when ur kids start living like and american forgetting our culture? I still have more points to discuss will post them in free time.

'porugiMTi pullakoora ruchi' - only upto some point. Only thing we (especially the educated lot, supposed to guide the illiterate lot) have to learn from other countries is - Cleanliness - Punctuality - Guts to call a spade a spade, shedding the element of 'hypocrisy' - Compulsory instruction in mother tongue atleast upto primary school level - Abstaining from meaningless 'aping' of Western habits/way of eating & foolish 'hyperboles' regarding their way of living - Exposure of mediocre mentality whenever we come across a 'foreigner'. Those countries that are thriving today have successfully implemented the above guidelines and have already overtaken many other countries. let us make a beginning in this direction.

Excellent job , very nice article. I have friends who make a hue and cry on quality of life in india, oppurtunities in india and dream about leaving 'Veda Bhoomi' and fond of 'Andha Thamassu'. I don't find a reason leaving india and settling abroad. When anyone argues with me regarding life in india or any other country i will say that except roads other countries won't offer me anything. Manishi sampadana anubhavinchaataaniki, people who r working in US work hard in their young age when they have enough money no age will be left for them for enjoyment. Iam sending this article to my friends.
