Which School???

When someone asks a silly question which has a damn obvious answer or behave as if they have come from an alien planet the first question you wanna ask... where the hell did you get education... or more so... did you even get educated???

After moving to Sydney from the busy life of Mumbai I started noticing people and their behaviour! Soon realised that people here have a very narrow outlook... I've heard that Australia is a very friendly place.. ALL BULLSHIT!

People here are totally racists... there have been few occasions within a year... we encountered a set of kids at a place called Lithgow who yelled at us, called us Niggers and spit looking at us... apparently at school we learn tolerance & good behaviour... I am not sure where it goes!?!?!?!?

Some guys at a mall suddenly decided to have a problem with us and started taunting on our behaviour... sharp comments... they have learnt English but I am not very sure if they are educated! There is this strange thing that I have noticed... when you walk into a very "white" suburb, they look at you as if you are a strange amusing thing & they have some comment or the other to make about you... I am not sure what they say but I am sure I would want to know... it would be amusing... its kinda like what people might say when you die!

Once while walking back home from a mall nearby some school white kids started dancing when they looked at me walking on a road... they must have did it to embarrass me... unfortunately for them it backfired & I started laughing as they looked really funny... They were like a set of circus monkeys doing a dancing act... they got embarrassed instead! Well, sometimes it boomerangs!

All this maybe because they all have a superiority complex due to skin colour or whatever but not being hypocritical I have also seen Indians with a major attitude problem... within the country maybe because of their financial or educational status and outside the country... I am not sure why!!!

Outside your country I've heard people tend to be more helpful and stuff... most are!!! The others tend to show an attitude that seems very uninviting & very rude. I tend to think that they also are a set of people who think that they belong to a higher class... probably they carry this attitude from their high status in their country... who knows?

Since I gave few Oz examples to be fair I should give some of these as well... we visited a set of acquaintances for a spiritual get together... we found few of them who don't even wanna bother talking to someone new or someone who doesn't fit their bill (according to them!). They'll look at you as if we've come here to get something done from them... its almost like the attitude of a full licensed driver towards a learner... The best part it they have also gone through it but have suddenly forgotten all about it!

The best set are the ones who keep talking about themselves & their work & their achievements... even if the topic is no where close to that in a very intersting way it comes to them... must say... a very very intersing skill!

And then there were these set of people who were making some holiday plans without even having a common courtesy of realising that there are new people around... In normal circumstances you introduce what exactly they are talking about to the new person & ask them if they might be interested in being a part of it... in this case these people decided to ignore their existence & just when along with their plan making... there is a good possibility that they are not interested in inviting... which is totally cool... you would not want uninvited guests in your party.. and if that's the case DON'T TALK ABOUT IT! I would definitely rate this as an out right rude behaviour... wouldn't you?

Things like these make you feel... what is it with them... end of the day we are all humans & all we need roti, kapda, makan & a place to get burnt or buried... then what is the snobism all about? What goes around comes around & if you are gonna have an attitude when you need something the most all you'll get is snobism! Getting a little philosophical... but these are situations where you wanna ask... WHICH SCHOOL!!!

V for Victory!!!

That's how I say my name as people often hear it wrong... but this article is not about my name!!

It is about the whooping victory that INDIA had in Australia!

Leadership is about making right judgements even if it means taking risks and Dhoni proved this! His decisions were criticised by almost everyone but he sure did prove everyone wrong.

I used to hate cricket but a gripping game like this always a pleasure to watch especially after the controversies. The Australian team could have had a better face to show after the loss if they had not made those remarks about the players in particular and the team. But on the brighter side its those controversies that made the game more interesting!


THREE CHEERS TO THE INDIAN TEAM...

It just goes to prove that the Indian young blood has a will and the determination to prove to the world that they are going ahead and this is just the beginning and when they get going they will put up a tough fight!

I am proud of the Indian team... since the beginning of this series they have made sure they stand for their team... I loved it when the team decided to back out if Bhajji was penalised! Wrong usage of power... I THINK NOT! Like its said 'if you have it, flaunt it!'

I am sure all Indians including me are hoping that the leadership of a person like Dhoni continues and the Indian cricket carves out a new and better position for itself in world cricket.
