Certain rules-if you are trying to say something bring some logic to the table, don't make assumptions and leave an identity. As for the rest of your pseudo crap, don't bother, if you don't understand.Bikashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220415487630682379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23119000.post-1152719333890638142006-07-12T21:18:00.000+05:302006-07-12T21:18:00.000+05:30Dude, it's just a statement.

No one is making it judgemental. <BR/>Boils down to this,<BR/>1) People in the west are courteous which is nice.<BR/>2) People in Mumbai don't care, which is not so nice for an individual.<BR/>3) People in the west don't know how to react to adversities, which is sad.<BR/>4) People in India can handle the problems which is good. <BR/><BR/>Your contention that (2) is just a difference of culture holds. But the experience is not a pleasant one for any individual (though some have just tuned themselves to it). This unpleasantness is dubbed rude. <BR/>Taking it to an extreme (and past) it is like saying, Sati is our culture , but don't label it bad because it is different. <BR/>You ought to be able to take it down to an individual/human level, and then analyse because that is what should matter.Bikashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220415487630682379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23119000.post-1152719253097496582006-07-12T21:17:00.000+05:302006-07-12T21:17:00.000+05:30Well yes we shud apologise.After all it is so much...Well yes we shud apologise.<BR/>After all it is so much harder to be polite when a reporter buys bhaji from you<BR/>Compared to when a bomb goes off killing, maiming and injuring innocents while dealing with your own fears at the same time.<BR/>You are right Bikash.<BR/>I am sorry.<BR/>Sorry that people like you exist.<BR/>Sorry that Survey's like that of RD exist.<BR/>After all these magazine surveys are what has made their readers experts on relationships, WHY NOT REALITY?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23119000.post-1152717524363684032006-07-12T20:48:00.000+05:302006-07-12T20:48:00.000+05:30There IS nothing to absolve dude.
