Money and Many?
by harish kumar on Mar 22, 2011 11:28 PM  | Hide replies

When there is a lucrative job offer in Japan we Indians do anything to grab it and go there. We envy those who gets opportunity to go abroad enjoy the facilities they have the high paid salary we get and showoff to fellow country men back home. We expect to be treated specially when we return from our foreign trip by our fellow country men back home.
BUT when such disasters occur we regret and want to come back home for our and our kids safety and we complain about the treatment we got(obviously its a calamity time and can't expect much from them) instead of staying there and help them what ever we can. At least help their elderly, kids, infants, injured??? Why not? We are Humans after all.

BUT no, as Indians we wants their luxuries and lifestyles but not willing to help them in need. Time to come out of our Indian mentality (Dowry deaths, Child labor, Caste feelings, Scams..... UFFF)

INCREDIBLE INDIA!!!

Harihar Bawla..
Why don't you leave India and reside in other country !? Or are you one of those who packed bags from overseas on their own as soon as pile of cash was gathered even without giving back as gratitude, curled up on cozy coocoons here and now preaching others !? If that's the case, better you introspect yourself.

on Indian leaving
by venkat on Mar 22, 2011 06:34 PM

The author informs us that many Indians left. But actually there was a mad dash by foreigners of all nationalities. And had such a situation happened in India, the Japanese would also have left.

Just for the record Japanese companies have very bad environmental record in many countries. They destroy trees elsewhere, but practise environmentalism at home. Just for the record and not to take the sheen of their good traits.

The japanese overall have high regard for Indian culture. Sumo, their gods, buddhism.. the know are of Indian origin.

You are talking bullshit. Many Japanese were also looking for opportunity to leave but they have to stay back . Why should Indians stay there and expose to dangerous radiation. The problem of ionising radiation is not over and you will come to know about it later. If you find Japan more comfortable stay there dont come back

as he spake it reflected on his life.

Ofcourse, Japan had handled this grave situation diligently. Had it happened in India, half of the country would have doomed and it will be hay day for scoundrels to thank god for giving yet another opportunity to loot money in the name of relief, for a decade.

We are panicky

We get panicky very soon and mostly act into a sefish mode. This is true for most of us but not for all.
