"Before I landed in the USA I was told that the society here was different. They don't care about family values, their social norms are bad they have free sex and hence I was asked to stay away from becoming like them. But after a year here, I am sorry to say but I defer to all those statements. Sex is not a taboo here but it is also not like what was described to me. The family may meet twice or thrice a year but they know everything that's happening in each other's life. Isn't that what is important? Being close to heart than being close distance wise!"  Nicely written.
