Hey Harika...I dont know if the reasons why you have to stay in US are genuine or not... but for me going back to India made sense, when I was a student and also even when I am working.

@UKnoWho...
Ya it always makes sense except when u have lakhs of education loan to repay (Owing to MS for 2 yrs and with graduation not even in sight!)...Ok! So was MS a bad plan?, No Coz I prefered MS to getting married...I would hav got married in 2008 itself if i wasnt here...N Hey i m not one of those marriage-sucks-life types but i m one of those I-am-too-young-to-get-married types :)....
Anyway Do i knw u?....UKnwWho isnt ur real name, Is it? :P
@ MUNNA (Ravan),
1. autolane thedathava ...ekkada edavalu 250 flat mile ki 50c ante bavunda vadu teskelle no stop traffic lo
Well! The cabs hav 4 wheels and hence more stable to rash driving than the 3 wheeler autos :P.
2. whts da point tym to nearest railways station in india <=tym to nearest station here.
I dnt hav a railway station at Cincy so i dnt care :P...n In any case, In India i hated starting to the railway station arnd 1.5 hrs b4 the actual time though it was like 10kms away!
3. y do u need roads whn u dont have a car...jus 2 c othr drive away to glory ??
I dnt hav a car now!...But Will i ll never own a car in future? :P (Hope is the biggest asset my friend :P)
4. freakin 4 lane roads even wid walk signal it takes you a min to cross...no freedom of raisin ur hand and walkin anywhr widout a z-crossin :D
Oh ya i ll prefered waiting for a min on the sidelane than waiting for 1 hr to cross from lifestyle to the other side of the road and 3hrs to cross it safely.
5. yea right criminals defenitly get thr punishment here thr sent to downtown to join collegues
I dint understand that one :D..n Anyway i dnt knw much abt criminal justice here except for the knowledge i gained fm 'prison break' :P
6. days of recession here are lik weekend thruout ..no job no wrk
Oh ya, But the layoffs are happening throughout the world.
7. the 3 bucks tht u spen fr washing gets u a maid
Ya, but do u knw hw regularly the maid comes? I bet, you ll prefer spending 3 bucks than waiting on her and getting frustated with her NEAT work!
8. and the traffic ..yea right this is the most sensible traffic ...if u miss one exit go arnd 3 miles before taking a diversion n thr 3 miles to get to whr u r now
Ya Thats right, But all this happens within minutes...n u think travelling 354 miles in jus 5 hrs comes with no cost?
9. freakin community n school zones whr u can run faster .
'Freaking community and school zones'..I ll give u many incidents wher children were crushed to death in front of their parent's eyes(Most of then near St.Ann's SecBad)...i ll definetly prefer driving slow
7. car insurance n maintainence costs more than da car
Insurance, Thts smething whose importance we realize only after a mishap.
8. long live dowry !!!:D...thts the return on all the investment
Dowry...hehe Return on all investment anta...THUUU :P :P
9. n prt tym full tym ..its nt hw much u earn its hw much u save
Ya! But Savings is never with relation to the earnings....it has more reference to the person :P)
10. thr is a reason y thy insist on marrige at tht age which u learn latr n ill say dint i say so ...
Oh Ya i knw the reasons...but to me 24-26 fall under the same section....U get married at 28-30 and u ask me to get married at 24! Not Fair! :P...
