Hi Jughead

You posted wonderful reply. My Congratulations to you.

People sometimes forget about real facts about Canada.

Canada is always and Remain as "Heaven".

PMA.

Moral of this story: Heaven and hell are what you perceive them to be. With the right attitude, one can transform hell to heaven, but to a discontented person, even heaven will not bring happiness!

Knowledge is Power

While I congratulate Jughead in trying add a philosophical punch to an otherwise practical joke and in trying to explain another reality of life, I will have to add that the original post itself conveys a moral which is hidden somewhere not in the post.

If readers care to read thru Anujark's posts, they will find that she had started contributing to this forum in a very positive manner, sometimes philosophical, sometimes emotional (self composed poems) and also a moral boosting one (in the success stories section). She is one of the persons with whom I have interacted personally on phones and e-mails (I still have not met her in person), and the confidence she exuberates (or used to), is almost contagious. Another person from whom people can learn a lot.

However, a few months in Canada and imagine even she resorts to such jokes for cheap laughs/grins - no I am not criticizing her for posting this joke, but I was sadly amazed to see it coming from her out of all the people. I would have considered her someone like BL/Crenshaw who really are ready to fight it out in Canada and take advantages of the good it offers and filter out the bad, and prepare themselves constantly for getting the best out of this country.

Without going into details - I can only say that I can understand the latent reasoning for her to come out with such a joke. Both husband and wife are professionals who were doing reasonably well (or more than that) back in India before they decided to come here - and through the months have faced frustrations of various kinds.

It might be just one passing joke - but it tells me how perceptions change and it can take only a few months for that change, and that I consider is the moral of the story.

HOWEVER, IT IS JUST THE WAY I LOOK AT IT AND READERS MIGHT THINK THAT I AM MAKING A HILL OUT OF A MOLE, but I feel such insignificant cases/reactions are a reflection of how life changes.

A good one !

And people have taken it so seriously instead of laughing at it.

It is a positive thing if one has the courage to laugh at oneself inspite of all adversities.

Let's make India a better place !

wow - what a joke and what a response....myself..am a new immigrant ...and right now am going thru the blues of being soooo faaar away from home . though i had mad eup my mind to make canada my 'home' away from home.....aagey aagey chalke dekiye hota hai kiya...
i get alot different/mixed responses from colleagues here (yes..am working) and some say i should give it at least a year ...while others say if i m not happy it is not worth a try!
well....i think to myself....what s so wrong in giving it a shot for a bit longer and...still things make me unhappy..i ll shoot out of here...without waiting further...
that was a just joke...but alot of people got abit philosophical abt it...
so far....in canada..i love it here inspite of the blues....i love the infrastructure...i love the environment...in no time ..when i feel more settled.... i m sure i ll find the right group of people to relate with.

cheers all,

Congrats Jughead

Good Joke

Reality worse than hell. Hell should be better than this I presume.
Nothing can be as bad as this place in North America as they call themselves to be a part of. A big joke canada a part of North America.

Sorry to hijack your thread, Anujark.

Thanks everyone - it was just intended to be taken on the lighter side anyway!
