Hello all,
Good Morning.
I had been reading all those comments about Cows and Dogs, open toilets etc etc in these columns.
These are all true 100%. But India is far more.
I am from Kerala and an NRI for the last 30+ years.
I remember one incident. One of the early years when my daughter was about 2 -3 years old, when we were visiting home in the rural home, this little girl found the whole family home is dirty and filthy. She refused to stand in the kitchen without chapels and suggested to my Amma to keep carpet there so that she can walk around. Amma laughed it and told her “ask your achen” to lay the carpet and we had a hearty laugh of it even now.
I too had feelings against the unending strikes, no progress regarding industrial sector, too much drinking habits there, bad traffic manners, corruption at all levels, pathetic roads, unhygienic public toilets, people’s attitude towards women (we have separate seats for women in buses and 100% literacy), wastage of money in the name of party rallies, politics in every facet of human activity so on and so forth.
But then I made a change. I thought for a while, am I coming to home country for complaining? The answer was a Big NO. Am I going to improve that by cursing and bickering? Am I ready to take up that challenge to improve? No. I don’t have the time. So I decided to look at it differently.
I started seeing the beautiful birds singing, waving leafs of millions of coconut trees, quietly flowing rivers there, serene temples there, boisterous poorams there, ear blasting fire works there, parading elephants there, mouth watering foods there and so on and so forth. Above all the humane family relations all around there. I can go to any of those homes without an appointment and share a tea or a lunch or breakfast without any previous appointments or telephone calls. I started seeing the beauty of that land only, not the dirty part. I know it is there, as a stark reality.
If I have the strength and time one day, I will go back there try improving those dirty part to the extend I can, until then I am no man to complain.
So friends, I am no man to advise you guys and I am not even a member of this group. But have a thought, what did we do. We just flown out of that homes reached in some foreign land and by sheer luck and hard work enjoying a better life.
Let us not be too critical of those living there. They had not seen a better way for centuries. If we can we should help them, at least not critical.
Hope this note will not offend anyone. If that is the case, my advance apologies,
Best regards,
Rammohan
