Dekchidriver - your article is really nice read, humorous and telling. I like the way Rewire put it, our people are not prepared to step into a capitalistic society, bigger problem - most students who go to USA have little idea what they are getting into, except for that highly elusive American dream they seem to want so bad.

My company (in New Delhi) transferred me to our Europe office, so things were very smooth cake for me, hence cant really relate to your writing much but find it amusing. But some parts yes, as I had to really squueze my ass off myself in dhoti land for 7 long yrs working dreaded call center nights ... racism, late nights, putting up with many guys in small apart, doing your own chores ... I've done it all.

Our young minds need to carefully assess if they are upto the challenge before venturing on a wild goose chase.
