"Umreeka mein Main" is just a funny collection of totally random observations from my first couple of weeks in America. There's no sampling, no science, perhaps not even any fact - just my first impressions of what I saw and heard....for entertainment only....

Umreeka mein Main Wandering & Wondering.. DISCLAIMER Purely for entertainment. Not based on any factual data. Based on my very very very limited exposure. No offence meant to anybody. I love India and I love Umreeka dual citizenship chalegi !
Nice differences Wish it was the same back home Open space and Mulch around all tree roots love it House Sparrows how I miss having those around now in Delhi ! Cars stop at traffic lights for pedestrians they see you from a distance and slow down ! Its traumatic !! I feel so guilty now when I see a car coming up, I slow down so Im nowhere near the crossing !!! No security guards in shops, malls looks like people feel very safe here! Make eye contact and smile even to strangers on streets ! I have to train myself to do that !
Hushhhh Why are they so silent? Kids so quiet ! Dont make a racket in public places. Have seen infants even they dont holler ! Dogs so obedient ! Sit- Casper and he sits and sits and keeps on sitting!! Birds so quiet ! I see many of them, But they are quieter. Have come to the conclusion that birds in Delhi are just stressed and feel the need to shout to be heard like us. Quiet rain, soundless snow even their clouds dont thunder !
Weird differences Cant figure out the logic why one was preferred over the other Left hand driving Why RH drive in India and LH here? Both are equally OK . Why is it not the same everywhere ?? Light Switches In India, when you press down, it is ON , here when you push up/press up it is ON. Why ??? Fridges & appliances with doors hinged on their right ours hinge on their left Fordism Why did they get fixated on wearing black ! Dont they get sick of it ! Schooling styles Ours is more fact oriented, rigorous and theirs more analysis.
Not so nice Fuel Guzzling - Every vehicle, every homes a fuel guzzler no e-vehicles, no 2 wheelers. A few bicycles as a fad doesnt really count. But fuel guzzling for keeping my house, showers, toilet seats and office warm is OK I approve Verizon expensive, restrictive and limited why is it selling ??? Prejudices, discrimination .class, color, race, genderthey are equally bad. Broken families. The burden on women Emancipated (translation earning & able to move freely) but burdened children /home /finances /being seen as professional /being thin / being attractive /being emancipated. Pro-business rules, taxes, politics skewed democracy. Some still ask does India have snake charmers & do we travel on elephants !
