So I was in India over last week, and I now miss it. Walking on the streets, getting my mango shake, letting time go by.
Mostly because I'd rather be doing that than sitting in front of a computer at work. :D
So the people of India.
There are so many different kinds of people. The educated, the uneducated. The one with basic manners and the one with none.
I noticed that in general, the older generation of people did not have basic manners. Things like spitting, littering and peeing by the side of the streets was a very common site.
Also, saying 'Thank You' was uncommon for people.
The drivers, omg, I thought KL was bad, but India is a whole different level. People drive whether or not there's a road. It doesn't matter which direction the car's coming from, they just drive.
There is no patience on the road, honking all the time. (by the way, it's deafenning when it's a buss honking!)
But some how or the other, with everybody driving in EVERY possible direction. It's amazing that I came out alive and for that, I'm very grateful.
Since I'm Tamil my self, I blended it quite well with the Indians. Except that I didn't spit or pee by the road! haha
The women
hmm,
As much as they're fighting for women's rights, there are certain people who are still submissive, give in to their parents wiches, as ridiculous as they may be.
It was really sad to see so many young girls with bountiful potential, having to get married and stay at home, become a mom instead of actually contibuting to the economy.
The women tend to give their parents opinions very high posts. Unfortunately they're not realising the fact that their parents era and the current era are now too vast and hence they cannot keep listening to their parents in all issues.
They have to take a stand and make their own decision. Even for simple things like getting a part time job to sustain themselves whilst looking for a permanent job.
The women are also unable to buy beer/liquour. VERY UNFAIR.
But i must say, compared to ten years back and now, the women are slowly coming out of their shells, and their efforts are very much commendable.
The men,
ahahah, a man without a moustache was a rare sight.
The are highly egoistic and not gentlemanly at all! They make the women travel great distances with the kids in busses, this, as easy as it may sound is not so easy when you have whiny fidgety kids.
Always being in control in the home, getting the upperhand in situations. But I think this would slowly submissive once the women get more education and awareness on how they should be treated. (can't wait! :D)
I'd like to continue, but I have to go now! Bye!
