You Know what?? Livingalone in a foreign land teaches you a lot!! Yesterday, I was just thinking what did I observe living in a different country??Immediately I did not get any
answers, through the day, there were many instances where I thought ya this is
not the same back in India.......shayad, its true ki we see what we want!!!

Well, What did I realise??? I wanted to tell about the old people here in their
70-80s......

I did not see one of my collegue since 2 months....Yesterday I saw him and
asked what happened? He said, smiling..."Ahh ...Thanks for asking...I was
not well...I just got a surgery done to mutate my malignant tumor"....and
then left....I was like "Ohhhh nooooo!!!!"

That means he had cancer and he is smiling and ek dum fit now!!! You know what
cured him sooo easily??? His CONFIDENCE!!!

 I observed, people here are not scared......when i say not scared...I mean if an 60
yr old gets a chronic disease....he goes to see his doctor, all by himself,
gets himself diagnoised and get fit soon....They are confident....They do not
go to panic mode....like us in India....and mind you average life expectancy
here seems to be 70 and you can find people in 50s planning about what they
should do when they are 80.

I also thought why is it this ways here??? Why are we not as confident??? Why
is Life expectancy low??

The first reason I got is.....Here these people are self sufficient or rather
more than that............not only, economically....but also in every other
field....This gives them a part of the confidence....

Second one,  They know money cannot buy them an extra few days on this
earth....but still they are confident that nothing would happen........why???
Is it because medical science is advanced here.??? No....because, I saw and I
can tell you we have much better service and also cheaper service in
India.......then whats the reason????

I feel, in a sense, they love themselves more than anything else.....that makes
them take care of themselves....and protect themselves....and once you know
what you are doing clearly, be it be related to anything...you get a sort of
confidence....a confidence that nothing can stop you coz you are right!!
[...Disagreeing???....I am not talking about the young generation here who dont
even have respect for themselves... ]
What say you??

One more thing here is, these old people are very independent.....I Love to see
old couples to move around as if they are just married....they do all sort of
adventurous trips that we do....they go on holidays and enjoy as if they are on
honeymoon just after marriage....I was sooo surprised actually....I did not
expect people in this country to be soo much emotional!!!

Anyways....except for the confidence in old age, everything is fine in India....and I
guess as we are growing as a strong nation, we would be gaining that missing
bit very soon (even though we are still the same old emotional people loving family than we love ourselves....) !!

Love U India!!!

PS : I had soo much more to tell...but somehow could not put all of them in words....Hope the message was clear enough!!!
