The Witching hour post
Just back from the airport, sending my brother off to the Land of the Great Satan. Yet another Indian in search of the holy grail called the Green Card. Today, he sets out on the great Desi American dream.
Much emotions tonight.

It is not the land of the satan, C! It is a land of free ideas, as normal as India, but just a whole lot faster and impersonal. Where the struggle for bringing good ideas under the spot light is not as tedious or hard as in India, where there is still not so much of population that half the country starves and lives below the poverty line. This country still has its numerous faults, prejudices, cultural barriers – just as in India/ else where in the world. It still has so many nuances of one language that for all practical purposes, they might be different ones! It is just another place… People who realize it at that, couldnt care less where they live!
