If our education created an entire class of over educated, insecure people who then left India, those choosing to stay behind - the overly judgemental, over confident desis are no great shakes either. Shining India or Overly Glossy India? Only after all our mud settles, will something truly unique and worth emulating surface! I have noticed something similar amongst Latinos and other Asians as well. Economies and psyches still in transition - most Americans who meet each other don't seem to have this need to dismiss each other - something to be said for Yankee opportunism - why dismiss when you can profit instead?

Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream." ~ Lao Tzu (courtesy -Peacefrog) "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle." - STEVE JOBS
