Hey..im not a programmer..or science graduate or good at math

however 'most' means what? 1/2? 1/3? 2/3? 3/4? 99% which is still statistically impossible to know unless one has spent their time in quantitative research

Include Sankaracharya too in the list of people "Not ready to change". You can include Ash20.
Many others are of the same opinion but not ready to post their views here. Most of the people to whom i have spoken on the phone and who are CD members agree to my postings.
Anyway, i am not trying to set some laws in stone. People , esp. "Desi's" do what their mind dictates and will always do anything that benefits them. There is nothing like free charity to Canada or its people.

I am a Gents and not a Ladies.

When I said Live your own life, I meant to say do what you like. I am speaking from personal experience.

All my school life, i lived life what was expected of my family. We lived in a then, small town. My sisters were teachers and highly respected in town. Worst, my sister was a teacher in my school. My sisters were rank-holders at state level. So being the youngest in the family, there were lot of expectations from me by the society and hence sometimes by parents. While I was in school, i never made any decision for myself. All decisions were made for me right from clothing, schools, colleges though my likes and interests were kept in mind.

I broke free of all these things when we moved away from the town and my sisters too had got married.

I started the process of being totally independent when I moved to Middle East and now I can say I am totally independent. I listen to my sisters but do what I think is right. Now the tables have turned in some cases. I advise them too because they find what I say makes sense.


To some extent, desis do tend to live somebody else's life mainly what the parents want them to do including what to study. But once you are in Canada, the circumstances in India and canada are totally different so listen to them but do what you think is right for you in your environment. Simialrly, donot impose your life on your kids because your parents did it and your life turned out nice.

I saw lots of messages & topics on this forum which are all against the people who are returning back to India. Why?? Is there like a rule or something that if we take immigration we have to like Canada? I am seeing there are 2 groups here -
a) the people who love canada & those who are staying here.
b) the people who are unhappy about their decision of coming here.

Why can't we respect both parties? Both of the parties can be right considering their experience of canada.
