Why we are here in Canada? Don't we Love out Back Home?
By:

0. If I will pay for your ticket for back home you will ready to go there, why because you love your back home still.

1. Media there in our back home are so negative. We are we so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths and our achievements at back home. We are from such a great nation, we have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them.

2. Why?

We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.

3. See Israel now, The Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front
page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert land into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory
details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.

4. In our back home we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime. Why are we so NEGATIVE?

5. Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things?

6. We want foreign TVs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance?, and here we know that many things are imported from China, Pakistan and India.

7. When Indian President Abdul Kalam was in Hyderabad giving lecture, when a 14 years old girl asked him for his autograph. He asked her what her goal in life is.
She replied: I want to live in a developed India. for her, you and everybody's dream is to have developed back home, but what we have done when we were at back home to develop, thats why we are here. India, Pakistan or China nare not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation.

8. Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance.

Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours.

YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke,The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination at our back home.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.
YOU say, say and say.

9. What did you done about it? take a person on his way to Singapore. Give him a name - YOURS. Give him a face - YOURS. YOU walk out of the airport and you are
at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs.60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOUcomeback to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity. In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai. YOU would not
dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah.

YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs.650) amonth to, "see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else." YOU would not dare to speed bey! ond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, "Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost."

10. YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand.

Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo?

Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston??? We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You
who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian or Pakistan's ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same in our back
home?, thats why we are here.

11. Once in an interview, the famous Ex-muni cipal commissioner of Bombay, Mr.Tinaikar, had a point to make. "Rich people's dogs are walked on the streets to
leave their affluent droppings all over the place," he said. "And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the officers
to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the pressure in his bowels?

12. In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan. Will the Pakistani or Indian citizen do that there?", If yes then we dont need to come down here.

13. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility. We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do
everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms, thats why we are here for volenteer.

14. We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity. This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public, but first responsibility is of public. When it comes to burning social issues like
those related to women, dowry, girl child and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? "It's the whole system which requires change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry." So who's going to change the system?

15. What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbors, other households, other cities, other communities and the government.
But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families in to a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far
away and wait for a Mr. Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.

16. Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England. When England experiences unemployment, we
take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse
and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.

"ASK WHAT WE HAVE DONE FOR OUR BACK HOME"

17. Lets do what our back home needs from us.

18. Why we have trouble in this country because we have not done labour job any time in our back home, we have not done any small volenteer job in our back home
but we are doing very hard job here. We are doing volenteer job for years here, If we had done any small thing for our back home we were not been here because we were 1,00,00,00,000 in population, if one person
will do one good job for his country you can imagine, how many small jobs are pssible 1,00,00,00,000 jobs that means 10,000 projects.

I think now here everybody undestand the word "project" because evey one is doing team work here.

Everybody loves their Back home country, but we have not maintained it properly to live because of that we are here. If you will not maintain the CANADA, It will be our second back home. Once again we have to find
out another foreign.

we are the most hypocritic people on this earth . we never admit happiness so easily. we find happiness in criticising, discussing politics and eating.
time is changing youth is coming up... we need to change ourselves and find happiness in simple things...
life is absolutely beatiful...
