India… Well, everybody must know that it’s a country with one of the highest poverty rate in the world, as well as some of the most advanced industries and technology. And who hasn't heard about Bollywood or the go-cart rickshaws? All that does not have any influence on your day-to-day life.
I’m gonna go beyond that. Things I love(I like) about India and things I hate(I don’t like), in terms of living.
I love:
- Living in a peaceful and low-crime rated countries after all(I’ll discuss that later).
- Living in quite a tolerant country.
- Living in a country where people from different races, backgrounds, religions and languages interact with each other and live quite peacefully.
- Living in a country with several antique cultures.
- Living in a country where you can find something surprising and interesting at every very step.
- Living in a country where definitely you’re not one of the lot.
- Living in a country where you can be really yourself and not give a darn(should I say d*mn?) about what the people may think of you.
- Living in a country where you can get by in English.
- Living in a country where you will be socially accepted by ANYONE if you prove you’re interested in Bollywood and Cricket.
- Living in a country with one of the most amazing societies one has the chance to live with.
- Living in a country when you’re probably gonna have at least one occasion everyday to roll with laughter.
- Living in a country where you get bright smiling faces since early morning.
- Living in a country where you can find cheap & good restaurants.
- Living in a country where you have different shopping opportunities compared to the West.
I hate:
- Living in a country where their perception of the so-called “respect” is slightly different to ours.
- Living in a country where you’re always being stared by someone.
- Living in a country where you don’t know what a Native may hold in store for you.
- Living in a country with child labour, over-employment, low wages and inhuman work conditions.
- Living in a country where although you’re not one of them, you see people highly discriminated by religion(e.g. Muslims), race(e.g. Africans), status(e.g. low-class people), caste, tribe, political-party supporter, etc.
- Living in a country with people willing to show off some knowledge when they have no idea about it at all.
- Living in a country where there are so many thousands of traditions, customs and rules you need to follow and they’re only applied depending on who you’re dealing with.
- Living in a country where you’ll be told lies, and will find some hypocrite guys.
- Living in a country with streets full of beggars, slums and people who can sometimes break your heart.
- Living in a country with assiduous power and water cuts.
- Living in a country with the WORST road network.
- Living in a country with suffocating temperatures(depending on the geographical area).
- Living in a country with a socially accepted corruption.
- Living in a country with slow and expensive Internet connection.
