Acknowledgements: Life in the U.S.A. means a wide variety of experiences to many people. Life in the U.S.A. was far different about half a century ago from the present one. One such experience is presented here for our readers. We have specially requested the author who has been living over forty years in this land of dreams, to share his experiences with us. Here it is. Readers are requested to take active part in the discussions related to the issue.
