If it may be called a fault at all, I would say it is 'his' fault by virtue of the following quote. 'Ask not what the country can do for you, but ask what you can do for the country.' But is it really fault at all?. We must look at the situation philosophically, and ask back the question: What the millions of countrymen who are staying there are doing back in home?. Are they making any difference at all? Why pick on those few who have decided to 'fly away' exploring the unknown and are making a better living and enjoying better values in life? After all who lives where and what he does, is purely a question of personal choice and freedom.  In the long run, we all, including Alexander the Great to George Bush, are 'Ahil kona, gol kona, khagori katil tini-kona'. , except may be great guys like Buddha, Gandhi and their tribe.

But the majority of my pals lead comfortable but unexceptional lives. They work hard, earn well, own homes and cars, have a reasonably good social life limited to their own ethnicity. Which is OK. But what bugs me is that they are not making a difference to their environment. If they quit a job, it has no impact on the company’s balance sheet. They can be instantly replaced and life will go on, and no one will notice anything. Such a lot of intelligence, such a lot of potential, wasted. > In Oxomiya , the nearest will be "Aahil Kona Gowl Kona, Khagory Kaatile Tini Kona"-- Not his fault, is it? . The fault is in his Home Country's total lack of search-and-bring-back-talent that can enrich lives in Home Country. His country only want him to send Dollars et al so that Leadership can corner and live 'Happily ever after'. Things are not going too well for' Leaders' these days. Look at Blair, look at Hungary,look at Thailand yesterday  (  trickster Thaksin's rural mass votebank cornering ploy had to give). And look at the Tughlaqui going on at Delhi in last 2 days-- First take bribes and allow unlimited shops  Then name Masterplan (Delhi has to match Brasilia) Then give notices..."Get lost" Then take umbrage of "Honourable High Court's decision" Then go with full force and demolish/teargas/bullet/flamethrower/artillery... Then blame BJP for encouraging... <But not breathing university oxygen in the US for a few years? That, anyone who can, should do. And be a cog in the wheel in the free markets of knowledge>  But is Columnist Deb so sure in 2007+.... in age of unlimited dowmloads?
