India

They say we’re ignorant and apathetic, but I don’t…

They say we’re ignorant and apathetic, but I don’t know and I don’t care. :-)

I have no words of wisdom. I’m sorta balancing right now but only precariously.

I can relate. I was borderline rude the other day to one of my co-workers just because she stopped in to chat for a moment at a moment while I was stressing over various work issues/questions. You have to maintain your humanity … it used to be so much easier for me. I’m not sure what has changed.

As title states.

I took one of my India guys to the movies on our team outing two weeks ago, and it was a different sort of experience, just riding in the car with him. His mind seemed alive with questions about America–how we get to work, our various religions, how my family is organized, politics, culture, etc.

Then, when I got him back to his place, he invited me to come in and sit awhile, relax and have something to drink. We then continued our discussion of education, and the various differences between American and Indian public education.
