saw In America today, and found it extremely moving. everyone i know is heading there or wants to head there. you can understand the quest for a buzz- financial or emotional- but what happens when you are actually there and find yourself watching bollywood movies to feel at home. that's what most people i know do there. they wouldn't give shah rukh time of day here, but there, he's God! amen to that.

I live in a community where 80 per cent of the folk have lived in the US for about 10 years and have come back to set up businesses here. The rest of the 20 per cent are going to the US every week. I find them a very peculiar lot -- they don't like Bollywood and look down upon anyone who does (American movies are better), they don't like Hindi music (too loud and crass) and they don't like talking with an Indian accent (if you've lived in Cupertino, how do you show it if the colour of your skin is still brown?). Their kids are plagued by unseen bugs in the water, in the food, in the air and on the ground. These guys are worse off then those who go to the US!! At least once you are in the US, you will love the Diwali celebration on the river in NY. Best of all, the dry bhel you carted all the way from Mumbai to Washington won't have bugs -- it just got irradiated by the US hawa.
America sucks!!!long live Hollywood!!! death to SRK!!!
