My first blog!

My first blog!

Creating a blog and starting to write this is in itself is a big achievement for a person who is lazy and loves to procrastinate!

You will find me writing here something that I would have been thinking over for some time. Writing it in a blog would just clarify my thought process and would help me know what I want!

This might seem odd and you might be thinking why should I even read his blogs if all he talks about is himself!!? To think of it.. this is my blog - so I would write what I want (Oops I am arrogant!).

No - seriously, I will be discussing some situations from time to time or some incidents that I feel like telling somebody (who better than myself :)) - because no one knows that I have started writing blogs.. hopefully you will find these interesting enough to read..

Starting to write this took me some time after I decided "I have to write" because the account that I got created about 2 years ago was not used to write even one blog - and so was deactivated! Figuring out the things took some time but "All's well that ends well"... here I am writing (typing) my first blog...

What better than on Fool's Day!!! If I do not continue writing the blogs "Happy Fools' Day" and if I continue writing blogs then "I always tell the truth!"

P.S: I read a caption in my friend's gtalk (Google Talk) status that goes "Always tell the truth even if you have to make it up!" - so that's what it is..

Enjoy!

To Be or Not To Be..

To Be or Not To Be..

Nope, this is not about Hamlet - it's about me.

I have a lot of relatives and friends here in the United States and I knew I will always be asked/ forced/ tempted to stay back once I have come here on the job. People have mocked me for making a decision that is against their will and those of you reading this and still saying "Raviraj is a fool" - all I can say is "Thanks for the compliments!!"

America, as I have heard since my childhood, is a land of opportunities; a place where your dreams can be fulfilled. [Agreed that I sleep a lot ( & so dream a lot!!), but have never seen a dream that ends in America. I have always dreamt of my school (Kendriya Vidayalaya No.1 Uppal :)), my home (Ashoknagar) and the games we played when I was a child, but never dreamt of settling in America]

I have heard a lot about the opportunities for self and for one's children, the opportunities to earn and save money and a lot more advantages viz. infrastructure, less traffic, less number of tensions when it comes to daily chores or for thinking about the "less important" utility bills - that save a lot of time - but somehow I am not yet convinced to settle here.

It is not about the patriotism (love for my country - India) or about me "not liking" the US (in fact, I like many things about US). The only thing that is missing for me is that I never felt that "Yes! This is the place I want to be..!" when I am in US.

I might be making a wrong decision right now. People say this is the time to earn and save - and here I am (the forever careless) turning a "deaf-ear" to all the people who are wanting good for me.

If ever there is a time when I want to move out (of my city & country) and settle in some different place - US would be the first place that comes to my mind because I know how things work here. I have really settled well here and it was really easy to adjust with people and weather.

It is just like I have tasted it - I will come back if I want it again. If I go back it is not that I will not be allowed into the country again... so, here I come India.. (specifically, Hyderabad!!) -

hmm.. not so soon.. there's still a lot of time left to go back...
