Contd from 'my trip to Uk 1'....
f. Quite strict and proper security systems.U cant get away!!!
g. Direction plates on all junctions, roads. One doesnt need to ask anyone for location.Can just follow them.
i. One has direction maps on the web be it a place,shop,office anything!!
j. Shops close at 6pm..some of them at 7/8pm..sundays mostly close or maybe half a day...however super markets r open till late night!!!This is not so good isnt it??Cant shop on weekdays..can't go anywhere ..since after office time..shops r close! Logic...They have a family too!!!
k. How can i forget!!! TIME!!People invariably 99.9% maintain punctuality not only for office!Anywhere! (0.1% benefit of doubt:))In fact they would reach atleast 5 min in advance! Exceptions maybe where they r caught up on unexpected traffic junctions!! which of course if real time communicated to the concerned people! Now how many of us do this!!! Its a matter of frustration for people in India like ME, in respect of people who dont maintain time. They neither think of following it nor do they make any continued effort! Arey koun karega re!..Sab chaltha Hai!!!is what is the attitude!! When such attitude changes only, many things will change maybe!
The list above is not exhaustive but definitely gives one a peek into the life here and what to expect at a minimum!!! There are much more aspects specifically office cultures,disciplines etc worth mentioning..maybe later!!! After seeing all this one thing for sure is what i believe! Its all in one's ATTITUDE of course supported by the governments LAW AND ORDER!If we have a straight ,positive, development oriented, calm, people friendly attitude we as well can achieve all that!!!
So, maybe some of the above mentioned aspects are reasons why Indians, NRI's epecially consider a foreign country better to live in..more time for oneself..time and oppurtunities to pursue other activities etc. However the two aspect that will probably pull people back to India, One..their home town is family,friends!!!which would make them put the above said benefits behind and pack their bags home!!!Extremely family oriented people only would do this!!!!
Secondly,,...the flexible kind of lifestle in India...no rules and regulations...shops open till 10pm...life after 6pm...democratic lifestyle...home language...cosmopolitan cities...hang out with friends ..pani puri in chat bandi..festivals...weddings....all that music,dance,,band baja....mmm..so many reasons to be in India....
So which is a better bet guys!!!I prefer India...though organised and systemised aspects are a welcome!!!the above aspect in India...cant be compared...all the colour,mix of people,family,friends,shops etc r a better bargain!!Maybe sometimes...I m confused...want all of them..but cant!!!!Human mind is never satisfied!!!
People in other parts of the globe can share your observations of your city/country's lifestyle!!!It would be interesting to know the diverity!!
