WE HAVE BEEN TALKING AND MEASURING OUR SUCCESS IN TERMS OF GOOD JOB , MONEY ETC..
WHAT ABOUT RESPECT??
I have seen well earning Indians( TOP 50 EMPLOYERS) WHO ARE STILL TREATED AS SOMEBODY DIFFERENT .. THEY DO NOT MIX.
LANGUAGE AND TALKING ABOUT ICE HOCKEY DOES MAKE DIFFERENCE , OF COURSE...
so we should wait FOR TWO MORE GENERARTION TO BE A LITTLE PART OF THEM..
THEY MIGHT START ACCEPTING US...
our next generation HERE IS CERTAINLY BETTER OFF..as I see it.
What's your point?

So, there r so many successful indian .. by their own statement.
What I am asking is what do u mean by success.
Is it money
..Why do we live.. for money?
I think we live for enjoying life which includes being a part of society.
We r still not part of society.
why only a chritian indian Mr. Jindal is accepted as candidate of senate.. why not a sikh who have been there for so long.. why Mr jindal is a part of US ( even though we still keep saying that he is Indian) . Does religion pays a part in it.
So...once again.. m\y point is that we are still a separate entity . we do not live full life here.... so we r really not successful.
This is my definition.. does it smell like spiritualism??

Well money does help to buy / enjoy a higher quality of life.

Ujjal Dosanjh is a federal minister of Health in the Paul Martin cabinet in Canada.
There is a page on him on the Wikipedia site.
Harinder Takhar is Ontario’s Minister of Transportation.
A couple of MP’s from the GTA are of South Asian origin and are non-Christians.
The US Senate has traditionally been white dominated. If you compare representation of minority communities, there is only one black Senator (Barrack Obama from Illinois) even though the blacks as a group are many more in number than South Asians.
Bobby Jindal has been elected from Loiusiana – a southern state. Incidentally, he was raised Hindu. His election to congress should have been as more acceptance of racial diversity in the US South......

That is my exact point... how long retesh( RITESH in India) bhalla been in US.. probably 22 years .. all his life!!.... SO .. how about their parents?
I would say that they sacrificed..... friends .. family.. security of being in company of own .. known people... sacrificed sense of belongigness..
AND then retesh is NOW here after 20-30 years of the parets coming to west.
This is exctly my point... it is a little finer point.
I am not talking of how many dollar or what kind of job ... meri salary uski salary se kam kyun..attitude.
Regarding Money.. I think a reasonble amopunt is only sufficient to live and enjoy... more iods just horded or wasted in supporting US economy.
if I am not wrong in US avg car engine is 3 litres while in Europe it is much less why... europians are less satisfied.. or do they enjoy less.

If you were given a choice between a Harley Davidson and a Bajaj scooter, and you had the moneyt for gas, what would you drive?
Also remember, gas prices in Europe are almost double that in the USA.(as much as three times in UK).
