Yes - still too corrupted, chaotic, unpredictable for my comfort. I left when I was 21, my mom pretty much sheltered me. She made me run errands a few times and then gave up because I would end up getting mad at people whether it be the bank or the post office or some store :-), so I didn't have to do shit during my time there and I don't have appropriate skills to function there and I cannot envision myself working or living there. > > - hope Uncleji doesn't read this :-) > > > > > > On Apr 15, 2013, at 4:44 AM, Michael Jackson mjackson74@... wrote: > > > > > Well, Ravi - how many Indians would do this if they could afford it? > > > > > > http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21994873 > > > > > > > > > > > >
