Sorry had unexpected visitors which leads to my rant about how THANKLESS some people are.

A Desi couple visited, she was here for her 25th anniversary, she works in another town, her husband is here (I took his Mom to a radiation appointment a month ago). Their son has a full ride to a university.

ALL I heard him say was HOW UNFAIR ELITE UNIVERSITIES HAVE BEEN TO HIS SON

He lives in a fully paid off house, hes in his mid 50s. His wife works, daughter is employed. They are building a house twice as expensive as the first one in the city where the wife is currently (hoping to move there in 6 months)in

He trashed on Democrats and praised Republicans and that just got my goat. I told him "Uve got to be thankful for what you have. You have EVERYTHING in life. Your son will get a FREE Bachelors degree in this country, many Desi parents will kill to be in your shoes"

He kept on whining about how "Top Universities discriminate against Asians and admit "criminals and under performers " from "other races".

Speaking of the word ENTITLED😡

Ughhh THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW LUCKY THEY ARE AS A FAMILY. SIGH!!!!😭 😭 😭

He wore his earphones, sulked, and listened to music the rest of the 40 minutes, walked up started the car and left without saying goodbye

Why?
Because I reminded him to be thankful for what HE HAS.

They go to the ISKCON temple EVERY SUNDAY where obviously the FIRST AND ONLY LESSON is TO sacrifice GREED
How ironic!!😡






These are the phulka people you talked about some weeks ago?

Do read my earlier post about university pay scales. Maybe Vandu can get the baby function she wants after stretching her finances a bit?
I gotta go now. See you all later..

YES. I am in shock.. I am UNABLE to COMPREHEND HOW he can be so selfish and self absorbed. He has achieved the proverbial American dream, not one but two houses, a daughter with a college degree, a son, on the way to getting a degree for free... husband and wife both employed.
YET he is FILLED with anger about how life has been unfair to him😡

I wish I knew Maanvi's parents😭
And these people are major ISKON bhakts... goes to prove my theory that organized religion is nothing but a bloody hoax

I can see my appa amma just enjoying our company and smiling at us (kids and me) eating, watching TV, chatting, arguing and fighting. Simple happiness like Mr Iyer looking at his daughters and sister. So realistic Nisha.

Will try to read tonight's and tomorrow's updates in airport lounges. Back home soon to my normal routine. Will miss amma, appa and hot chennai.😔

Very nice comments, analysis on updates as well on other topics. I think the younger generation is much more mature than what I used to be. Kudos ! Some of you are exceptionally articulate, extremely creative. Nice to see conversations from Ekta kapoor to Education system, salman khan to skin color. Emotionally connected to other readers, looking out for each other and creating new friend circles, maturely handling difference of opinions.

Hats off all of you. 🥳

RedGarnet - waiting to start back our phone convos on updates between our office calls 🤣

Read about Nivi
Although i didn't knew her but feeling very sad
May god give enough strength to her family to bear this immense pain of losing their beloved
May everyone remember her in through happiness not through sadnes
May everyone remember her through smiles not through tears
It will be the biggest tribute to her
