Feelings about going abroad !

This blog should make you realize what are you actually missing when you leave your country and go abroad and settle down there. Whenever, we get chances to go abroad, we feel so proud. We feel like as if we are at top of moon..at that moment, how happy we are !! we start dreaming about money, perks, the posh life-styles, easy and comfortable living ... and, then, we leave our home country, and get ourselves adapted to such lifestyles, even if we may not like it, but try harder to get accustomed to it.. we try to learn their language, ape their gestures, their clothes, try to eat food which we we don't even love.. But, can't we make them learn our way of living.. It may be true that their living standards are better than us, but I would rather suggest to learn from them, and not blindly follow them..

I would say that its my personal opinion in this regard, and also, lot of people do think in the same way, but just don't have the courage to accept that. I had the opportunity twice in my life to go for internships to both USA, and Europe, the most popular destinations... I learnt a lot from these experiences that, a person can gain only materialistic comfort here, but would be bogged down by moral responsibilities, or would try to ape that dude style. For instance, when you goto Germany, you find that people speak in German even if they know English. In France , people consider their lifestyles better than English people... Moreover, look at these countries:: they are one of the developed nations of the world !!

How do you think, these countries made up to such levels ? How can a country like Germany which was torned apart after World War II, is now, a country with highest educational standards....A country like, Switzerland which had earlier only flora and fauna has now, the highest noble prize winners per capita.. Its because the people had believed in what they were doing.. They had this vision, and now have made it..... and now, see the plight, Indians are fighting to acquire some short term internships, and degrees from these universities..

I think, if you want to visit Foreign lands for getting experiences, its much helpful to know what's outside your own well... I would say, "Never be a frog confined to your own well" .. But,a frog sleeps well only in his own home, where he feels a homely satisfaction... I think, when you work in your land, even if you get less comforts, but you gain some values, which otherwise would have been lost and really cannot be described in words.... you would have to empathize with me to understand those lost morals..
