I wish I'm 19 Again 'n' Stay there 4 Ever..!

Every day I definitely feel one thing, I wish I'm 19 again.

Not just because I've enjoyed too much at that time,

Not because I've no responsibilities,


Not because I was in love,

Not because I was in School,


Only because I was exposed to this world and started Exploring the things. I've seen many new things which my dad didn't see in his childhood, I did the things which my mom didn't even imagine she could do in her whole life.

I remember few words of my childhood...!

They were the ending days of Year 1999 and ending days of 20th Century. My Friends and few other people were feeling themselves as lucky to see both the centuries in their lives.

I feel sorry for people who born before inventing a TV that they couldn't see the wonder which they never ever thought of.

When I came to know about the CD (Compact Disc), DVD's were in market. When I started using DVD's Flash Drives (Thumb Drive) are so popular. When I had full of Pen Drives in my pocket, Passports (Portable Hard Drives) are handy.

We never know something else will come and knock these Passports off.

Things are changing very rapidly, we need to get update to them every time else we will stay back in race of this life.

Let me give you an example which make more sense....!

I worked with some guys who were much much older to me. They started working in IT (Information Technology) when I don't even know about IT.

In their times, there wasn't the most popular ORKUT. It's been 6 to 7 years that Google launched ORKUT but they didn't have an account yet.

When I told them about this they told that they haven't heard about it. When I shown them that Damn thing, they were surprised as well as confused in its usage.

(** I don't mean having an ORKUT Id is a great thing I'm just showing an example**)


Let me tell you one more thing about them,

( ** I don't want to list their names here**)

Generally we all people watch all kinds of movies on Internet, but these guys still don't know that there are some websites which will offer us to watch movies freely. They buy the DVD's or they wait till that movie releases in nearby theater.

I've seen couple of people who still use some cards which will cost too much to call India.

I am not making them fools here, but I am Scared of few things.

Lets say in 10 years of coming future, there may be things which will be better than this time. Who knows whether I'll be updated to them or not? Some junior or my children or youngsters may laugh by saying " What..! You didn't even know about this..?"

Yes, I may need to pass through this kind of situation.

Well, I'm not scared of that humiliation rather I'm worried about myself how would I be?

My Dad can't operate a MP3 Player, He can't access Internet, He can't open a game from computer and play by himself.
He likes all these things, he is trying very hard to learn them however he is still not up to the mark.

Well, there may be something new which I don't know how to use it in future.

I've started looking at this world and its technology, its people from 19. I explored many things between 19 and 24.

Now suddenly I became so stubborn in life. Things got changed. I am loosing contact with my friends, everyone are busy in their lives. There are no one who can share things with me.

I'm just implementing the things what I learned in between 19 and 24. I know only those things which were happened in between that age.

I'm not learning any new things now...!

Now I'm updating only software updates that too SQL Server updates.

I know very few things , if I need to watch telugu or Hindi Movie I'll go to Videomasti, If I need English Movie I'll go to OVGuide or FreeSports4u. For Cricket free live streaming I'll google for sometime If I don't find any thing I'll buy. I'll go to Cricinfo for a while and read some articles there I'll play fantasy cricket for a while and I'll play StickCricket

All these things I came to know while I was in my Masters. After masters I never had a chance to explore something interesting. When I get bored with Stick Cricket, I don't know what to do.

I used to be updated with all the new technologies in the market while I was in Masters.

Now, I know only them....


That is the reason I wish I'm 19 again and stay there for ever to get updated with this world, and never feel myself that I'm too late.

Yeah, I know many of you say we still can update with the world...


I don't think this is possible without friends, and becoz of these busy jobs and busy life there is no free time to spend with friends. Only way is to call them and have some chit chat.


Many of you may oppose me, but I love to be a 19 Yr guy...!

When will I stop dreaming...??

It’s been 8993 days I am here on this earth (till August 03, 2009 CST). I was a typical middle class man in all these days. I was always hiding my desires inside my heart. I had a dream from my childhood when I can’t ask my dad to buy me an Ice-cream more than once in a month, “I’ll study well, I’ll get a good job and I’ll earn lot of money when I grew older and then I’ll buy everything I need and I desire”. I am about to be 25 yrs old in a couple of months, and this world already started calling me as a big man who grew older, but I am still dreaming the same which I dreamed at the age of 10. I studied OK, got a job still I am in the same place where I thought I left it. If average life span of a human being is 60 years, then I’ll live for 21915 days, among them almost half of them spent already by dreaming the future.

When will I live without dreaming? Or when will I stop dreaming and accomplish my dreams?
well, I have no answer to this question.
May be I need to Dream again to answer this question…!!
Working on Monthly salary is not looking as the feasible way to pass through my dreams, but what can I do other than this? If I knew the solution I would not have wrote this.
From the last week of the month, my eyes will start staring at the calendar for the 1st of next month, becoz the weight of my wallet gets credited by then. When I realize the 1st week of the month, I don’t even feel happy since all the credit card bills, mortgages, loans, phone bills, room rents, grocery bills will come in front of me and remind me about my credit history if I fail to pay them. When I start calculating all of them, I notice “I am out of money”. I’ll keep about 200 to 300$ aside, since there is still many days left in that month.
What in this world a man can do with 200 bucks?
I can’t go to lunch with my colleagues, since I know I need to pay for my lunch which costs an amount which looks very huge since I have only 200 bucks left in wallet. Luckily I don’t have a car; otherwise it would have been difficult for me to pay the EMI of the car, and Insurance of the car. All these 200 remaining bucks would have been spent on Gas. However am I really a lucky man without a car? I don’t think so..!
This remains a dream to me. I don’t know how long I need to wait to have one.

I’m paying the credit cards from almost about 2 years, but to my surprise the credit remains same. I’m paying my student loan from almost about a year; it still looks like a big mountain. God damn, when can I pay all of them?
May be I need to dream for a year or two to get out of these credits.

Sometimes may be once or twice in a year, I’ll save about 1000$...When I feel, I am saving money I’ll be out of the project for couple of months and I’ll use all of those savings and I’ll be out of the money again. I am 25 (24.85 exactly) but till now didn’t really saved 25 bucks.

What time I’ll come out of this waiting for 1st of the Month?
Umm.., I think I’ll never get out of these problems if I work as a software contractor. In fact people in here will assume that Contractors are one among the rich people and they’ll earn lots of lots of money. They don’t know what we get. We get nothing…literally we get shit. The Middle men (brokers to be exact) will be rich than the actual. Well, I can’t really blame these brokers since we don’t get the shit I was talking about without them.

Man what kind of life is this..???
Sometimes I want to be a “GHAJINI” who forgets everything and remembers only 1st of the month.
I’ve seen my dad thinking like me. He has seen his dad thinking like him. May my son will see me thinking like him. When will we get rich…??
You see, I am dreaming again…!!
I know there are millions of people who live their lives in dreaming. There are so many others in this world who don’t even dare to dream.
I heard so many people saying, it is easy to live as poor and easy to live as rich but always difficult to be a middle class man. When comes to work, my client may or may not be happy, middle man is always happy and I will never be happy. Why this thing is happening when comes to work.
I work hard, both client and middle man are rich and I’ll be in middleclass.
So, if you can invest some money, you may be rich…!
When can we Invest money…??
Only Investors family becoming investors and workers who work for them are always becoming workers.
I think this world may have been created as 2 types of people, one who invests, second who work.
I don’t know whether I am lucky or not to born as Worker.
I heard some of my friends saying that we are really lucky to be born as middle class men, since rich people can’t really live peacefully. Well, I never been rich so I don’t know what mental tensions they have but I’ve been in middle class I know the peacefulness of this. I never seen a poor man’s feelings but I can understand them and I feel little lucky to be as middleclass.

My question always be same,
When can one become rich? Particularly when will this middleclass life ends?
May be never…, since we never realize that we become rich when we buy a car, we never realize when we own a duplex. I believe God forgot to add some compromise and some satisfaction to the Human beings while he is manufacturing.

Wait a second..!!
Did anyone understand what I am trying to tell…? Oops, I don’t know what I am talking about (Ha ha ) , I’ll continue this once I figure out what exactly I am trying to tell.

Our Ambitions...!

It’s been so long that I didn’t write anything in this blog. Well, the reason for that is Laziness. Yes, that is the main reason and apart from that there are some other reasons. One of them is I was thought less for few days. I wanted some break, and see what I am writing in my blog and weather it is good or not. Till now I never find the solution. I am not very clear about what to write in blog. If I write my daily dairy many of my friends said that it is useless. They may be true becoz, there is nothing to do with my blah blah. However, sometimes I feel that whatever I am writing is also useless since everyone knows it..! Does it mean writing something in my mind is either use less or worth less? So, what is the best solution..? Just quit the blog and say nothing…! Or else wait for some good thought and write then. You know, all these thoughts were on top of my head. Any way one thought is spinning my mind from several days, and I wanna share that with you. I am not sure it is interesting and I don’t think it is something new which I discovered.
Before telling my Blah Blah, Let me ask you guys a question..! “May I know Your Ambition or do you know what your aim is? Do we have any idea about our Target? Do we really have any hobby? Did we ever think of how to celebrate the holidays…?” For all of these questions many of us don’t have a proper answer..! Am I right? I always asked these questions to myself, but I never got the answer. I don’t know what my ambition is? I have no proper idea about my aim or Target. I don’t even have a good hobby. If I find some holiday, either I sleep or I watch movies. I don’t do any specific things on weekends. Only thing will be in my mind on a holiday is to wash my clothes and Iron them. Rest of the day watch some movie or do some non-sense. I believe there are so many people like me…! Am I wrong to assume this?
Well, I may not be wrong to assume that fact. If you are like me, ask yourself why we are like this? If you get any answer please let me know. I analyzed these questions. I came up with my idea. I’ll share with you. Correct me if it is a wrong Idea.

If we ask any one (even ask ourselves) “What is your Ambition?” Some people say they want to be a Collector or they want to be an Engineer, or they want to be a doctor, but the truth is, he or She (Ourselves) just wants to earn some money and get some value and some level in the society. We don’t really know our Ambition, even if we know we don’t dare for it sometime. Let me give you some example, “If my ambition is to become a software Engineer, I’ll go and study Computer Science Engineering or Information Technology in our under graduation. However I’ll look at the situation around the globe, hey man Software Industry is very bad. There are so many ups and downs in it. Many IT Professionals are getting fired from their jobs. So, I won’t dare to study CSE in Bachelor’s. I’ll go study something like ECE or EEE. I know it is not my interested field but still I’ll go and study it. “

You know why I am doing this…? Just because of money. We are leaving our Ambition somewhere and trying our luck in some other field for which there is demand and for which we get money. I never had some ambition in my life. I never dreamed about my ambition. I dreamed like I had a big Bungalow, and big Car and some value in the Society. May be this is my ambition. I don’t know. I never really had a meaning for ambition in my dictionary. I don’t know what I want to be.

Without my notice I am here in this position. Still Confused about the future..! I’ve completed my 10th Standard and I don’t know what I really want to study in Intermediate. I know I am an average student and I am scared of Mathematics, I always struggled with Science. I am strong only with Social Studies. History was always interesting to me in Social Studies and also Economics I wanted to know about it. You know what, I didn’t know what MPC (Intermediate Subjects) is. May be I was forced or I didn’t dared to tell my father about my interest. I know if I tell my father about my interest he will never agree, because we don’t know the life of a Historian or an Economist. I know how much I struggled in my initial days of Intermediate studying MPC. Thanks to one of my friends Sravan, who helped me to think like a mathematician…! However, I am still poor in Physics and Chemistry. I got excellent marks in Physics and Chemistry though. Once again at the end of my intermediate, big question mark in my mind. What Next?
After MPC Intermediate 90% of people forward their step to Engineering, without even knowing about it. Till Intermediate I used to think an Engineer is one who builds bridges between the roads. I don’t know that there are so many fields are there in Engineering. Confusion again, what field should I choose? I know nothing about any field. At that period of time, Software Industry was in very bad condition. So, no one was daring to go for CSE or IT. My father was same like all. He preferred EEE. Hence I joined in EEE without knowing what an Electrical Engineer does. As a poor Science guy, I started my under graduation. I struggled a lot in Engineering. Till now I never really understood the concepts of Electricity. However I completed my Engineering with First Class. OK…I completed my UG and what next? Everyone searching for jobs, so did I. Till then, Software Industry was in good condition hence, everyone trying their luck in IT, so did I. Luck was not with me I never got the job in India. I saw some of my friends planning for abroad for their further studies, so did I. Luckily, I got this one and Came to USA for my Masters.
How can a poor Electrical guy can complete his masters in EEE? That’s what happened to me, my grades were very bad in Electrical and they suspended me from Electrical Program. Just to maintain status in USA, I took another worse step to transfer to some other university in completely new field, Software Engineering. Ahh..! Come on stop it, how can a non-computer science guy survive in Software Engineering field? You know what, I did it. Thanks to the university (I don’t wanna mention that University Name Here) gave me good grades and handled a degree in Software Engineering. Confusion started again. Any way completed my 18 years of education, and what next? I am neither interested in continuing the studies nor forced to continue the studies further. So, what should I do now…?
Everyone who completed their masters is trying their luck in Software Industry irrespective of their specialization. You know once again, I followed the same thing. I tried as software professional. Yes, I am software professional now, without knowing a SDLC. I am working as Software Analyst without knowing anything. I am just checking my luck in every project.
If I go back and see, where I started and where I am now. Is this the field I am going to continue or will I switch to something else? I don’t know. I am with the same Confusion which I had it 10 years back and I am sure I am always confused till next 10 years. You know what happens next, I will get used to it. Very funny right..!
I know this is what happening with many of us. Does it have any solution? Can we ever live for ourselves? I am of 24 yrs kid; answer “I don’t know” for the question “What your ambition is?” This is what I am doing from last 10 years. Funniest thing is, people used to laugh if I say I don’t know as if they know their ambition. If someone ask me What is my ambition as of now, I’ll say I got to pay my Bank loan. That is the only ambition I have. Pay the Bank loan and Clear the Credit Card debts by any means.

What do I do on a weekend or on free time? Nothing..! I am sure there are so many people like me. We always say “Ahh…it’s boring”. If we have some hobby we never feel boring.
Let me tell you one more story…!

My Team lead is of 50 years age. He has grandsons too. You know what he does in free time? He’ll do Carpentry…! Ya…you read it right. He does. He makes his own bed. He makes cradle to his grandson. He’ll make some interesting gifts for his wife and his sons on their birthdays with carpentry. Why he is taking that much risk in his 50 yrs age. That is his hobby. Some of our team members do Gardening in their free time. They never said that they were bored. I said 10 times every day “it’s boring”.

You know why many of our friends struggle in their education, because they don’t like it. That is the reason many of us get failed in many subjects. Our interest is something, but we deviate to some other direction and forced to adopt the new conditions which we never like.
I saw some of my friends who know their ambition unlike me, but their situation doesn’t support them to be what they wanted. I saw some of my friends want to be a singer, some wanted to be a photographer, and some wants to be a director, some wants to be a politician, some wants to be a movie actor. However, our parents or the society or their mind or some other problem may be stopping them. Encourage those kinds of people…, don’t discourage them.
Anyway, people like me will never change. At least let us encourage some of the people unlike us and try our children will not become like us.
What do you say…!!

When will be India a devoloped Nation?

From my child hood knowledge, I believe that Indus Valley Civilization and Harappa Mohenjo-Daro civilizations are one of the oldest civilizations on this earth. It means we Indians know a culture nothing but Civilization long back. (I hope I don’t need to remind you people that Indus Valley Civilizations was some time around 3500 BC). Before Vasco De Gama Discovered India some time in 1490 AD, so many Europeans as well as so many others like Aryas, Dravidas Discovered India. We all know Alexander the Great Invaded of course lost in India in some time around 330 BC. So we Indians were well civilized people just like so many countries long back.

Every one knows that we Indians are much talented than all other people across the world. Most of the people believe that Arya bhatta from India discovered (may be invented) Zero some where between 475 AD and 550AD, without witch we can’t even imagine this world.
(Though there are so many controversies about zero Invention (may be discover), we Indians believe that Arya Bhatta is the first one to Invent or discover the Zero. Some People believe that Babylonian is the first one to use the zero before Arya Bhatta. But Babylonian just used the Zero Concept, he don’t know How exactly a zero looks like. Arya Bhatta is the first one to use zero =0 in his calculations.)
Historians Believe that value of g=9.8 (forgive me if it is wrong) was invented by Indians before Sir Newton. We don’t know who exactly invented all these things, but we can conclude that Indians has the major role in this worlds Existence.

We have many more talented people from long back and it continues till now.

My question is why we Indians are still backward, still undeveloped, still developing country while we have pretty much talent with us?

We know civilization long back, we know mathematics from centuries, we know Politics years ago (We say “Chanakya Neethi”) still we are not in a position to compete with many of developed nations.

Where we are lagging behind, what is going wrong, what went wrong…?

From many years this question was keep running in my mind just like every Indian. Why we Indians are not in Commanding Position? Why our people are still hunting in different countries for Job? Why our software professionals are job less if recession is in America? Why our Indian Currency goes down if American Market is good? Why Brittan Pound has that value in India? Why we people took 200 years to get rid of bloody English men? Why we are not developed even after 60+ years after Independence? Why Japan is that dominant, and courageous to attack Pearl Harbor though it is 10% of India? Why we still follow someone’s rulez?

I remember a word from my child hood “Industrial Revolution”. I didn’t understand what that was in my child hood, but soon after I grew older I came to know what that was. This was the revolution took long time to come India, and I believe is the backwardness of India. If we invented something like Telephone, Telegraph, or Air Plane India would have been the developed nation.
We know Agriculture, but don’t know modern techniques. We people still won’t follow modern techniques to improve the result of Agriculture. We know all the things, but we know all in Conventional ways. We never got updated with technology; we never tried to change the things. This is the main point we are lagging behind many of developed nations.

We people don’t like to experiment the new things rather we would like to follow the old conventional way. We don’t like to take risks, we are afraid of taking them. We are afraid of the result, hence the result is. So, I blame our Indian brains which stick to conventional ways. Though we have few people to take risks, many hands are there to stop them. Our mentality is, we don’t do some thing and we never allow some one to do that. If this is the case continues, India will always be a developing Nation.

One more thing I believe for delayed Industrial Revolution in India is because of the British Rule and Because of KING Ruling. Before British coming to India, we used to have so many Kings within India, and every King calls his particular reign as a nation. Every King has his own rules, and our Kings were never united. At the same time they were not aware of this technology, hence the people of those reigns are not aware of any of these things. When we don’t know about the bicycles, British came to India with Cars. See the difference, if our Kings were united, and if they don’t have any quarrels between them they would have been thought of this technology, but they were always interested in occupying other Kingdom, ruling whole India. Thanks to British, though they looted every thing from us, they showed us Transportation system, Communication System, Modern Technology etc... Only bad with them was they got every thing from India, left us without any thing. If we don’t have British come to India, imagine still we were ruled by some King XYZ 12…I think every one aware of the fact that Nizam was ruled Hyderabad even in 1940.

Therefore I believe major two things for making India undeveloped is our coward mentality, and our Use less kings. Third one is our innocence for feeding British for 200 years and our laziness we never really tried hard to get developed. America was also a ruled by Europeans, but they got independence very quickly and developed as if there was nothing happened.

After we got Independence in 1947, we had the opportunity to grow up, but once again our dirty minds stopping to rise high. I think we didn’t even extended the Rail ways left by British, we are still stick with those lines (may be we added very few new lines). It has been 60+ years we got Independence still many of our villages don’t have proper road ways and don’t have proper way of transportation. It has been 60+ years British left us, still we use the old conventional way of Agriculture; we use bullock carts and plough for Agriculture. We don’t even try to use new thing in our land, if my neighbor got profit with Cotton every one of my village goes for cotton. If some XYZ got good profit with Rice every one follows him. We guys never use our brain. Our Education system, it is still teaching 1991 Population Count. Our mentality in education is also not changes, if software gets down no one dare to take CSE in B.Tech. If it is going good out there, we don’t hesitate to buy a seat for 1 lakh. If my relative or my friend or my neighbor goes to America, Every one goes to America. British taught us Telegraph, and Land line phone system we stick to those things till 1990s. At this time Internet was very much used by other countries. Fax came into picture in some time 1990s. I believe still many of our people don’t know what an Internet is?

We never dare to do new things; same thing applies in every field of our India. Even in our Indian movies one movie with some triangular love story hits, min 10 of those kind come back to back. If we take sports, Cricket is the only game we people are playing in these days; no one tries to play Hockey, Tennis etc...That is the reason we will get 1 or none Medal in Olympics. Many of us in future forget that Hockey is our National Game and Kabaddi is AP’s State Game.

I know from my social teacher Nagaraju (Thanks to the great man, who taught me all this) that once India got freedom, there was no one dared to invest in Market. The first one to come was Tata and Birla. They dared to invest and we know how big they are now. If they took their leg back in those days, we can’t see this much progress even. We never dare to invest in some thing new as we follow the old conventional ways. I remember a small quote in Telugu “PATA CHINTAKAYA PACCHADI RUCHI” (Old Tamarind pickle is tasty), we follow this line in our lives. This is not true, we should come out of it as early as possible else our grand children will study in their books “India is a developing Country”.

One bigger draw back is we are selfishness. We say in words that we love India so much, but we never show this in our actions, rather we show we love our selves than India. This selfishness making our politicians corrupt. This selfishness making us to stay backwards.
Government of India issues funds for transportation system of public, but the concerned politician, Contractors will fill their pockets with that money as they are selfish, not worried about Indian progress, but worried about their family, his status etc… A police officer never takes action unless offered some bribe, because he don’t mind crime in India, he is just worried about his pocket. Our Traffic Police never worries about Traffic but worries about money. Our Government Officials worries about their families and some unnecessary activities like girls etc... Results comes to office at 11.00 AM and leaves the office 3.00PM including a 1 hour lunch break and 3 tea breaks. We always worry about our near and dears get the jobs even if they are not eligible for that. If some eligible candidate gets placed instead of not qualified our relative it will be much helpful to the company production, which results Country growth, but we don’t mind it since we are selfish. We have plenty of Software Engineers across the world working for different clients. Assume if India has good investors we don’t need to go to USA for a software job and sit on the bench till our bank balance goes to zero and our default APR for credit cards go to 29.99%. In America every single non-sense there is some web site, but in India we couldn’t even have web site for some important thing. We don’t need a database back up because we will never refund some thing and we will never re check any bill. Our banks don’t have a website (These days they are developing). If we don’t have a banks like ICICI, HDFC,and HSBC I don’t know when we would have been know about online banking system. Our Banks are scared to give Credit Cards and afraid to sanction loans.

We never research some new thing, though we have project works in our curriculum, we never did project on some thing new. We always copy some thing. Scientists are like fools in some body’s point of view. Our Government doesn’t encourage us even if we have some real desire inside. With all these conditions it is day dreaming to think we will reach America.

If we leave selfishness, and if we dare to Invest and if we dare to do new things for sure, we are Leaders. At that point of time we don’t need to learn English, many English speaking nations will learn Hindi, Indians don’t get humiliated in USA or UK, Lot of immigrants come to India and our dolor rate will become 44 times to American dolor value.


Though India is developing a little bit in these days, there is lot more we got to develop. The rate we are developing is not in compatible with the rate other nations are developing and the development is only limited to few cities. Lot more work we got to do. May be this youth power of India make some difference.

Wake Up my dear Bros and Sis….Leave the conventional ways, leave your laziness, leave your selfishness make India a developed nation.


I woke up, how many or with me….?

Bitter Experience with American Transportation System.

Imagine, we are moving to new state in India for a job and let’s say Our work place is about 30 miles away from our hotel or room etc… also assume we don’t have our own bike or car etc… How we go to office daily in India?
Yes, Absolutely…! We may take Bus, Train or Auto (Taxi)…!
How long it will take us to travel for 30 miles in a Bus, Train or Auto?
May be 30Min Minimum…! And Hardly in Bad Traffic scenario, will it take 1 Hour Max, Right…? In certain locations like Hyderabad, Mumbai…it may take much more time (may be 90 Min). On a given day if there is no Traffic Jams, we can go to office in 30 min whatever the means of transportation is…!

Now, Let me tell you How ‘Great American’ Transportation Killed me.
I had to leave to Pittsburgh, PA (USA), two days back on a project. I got to stay there for 1 month minimum. Hence I was searching for a room near to the client location, but my search never found me a location near to client Place. I hardly found few apartments about 35 miles away from client location. I was happy that it was OK distance to travel daily. As I don’t have a car, I was in looking for some public transportation. Though, Pittsburgh is one of the good places in USA there are no trains available. Thank God, they had Local Buses available.
You may ask me at this point of time…, “Come on Dude, what is the reason you are blaming America…”
Well, the real story begins here…
They have buses available, but it takes TWO AND HALF HOURS (2 ½) to reach client location from the apartment where I planned to stay for a month.
For me, There are no issues to travel for 2 ½ hours UP and 2 ½ hours Down (Totally 5 hours Daily (to and fro)), If I don’t need to walk for 1 hour and no need to transfer the bus 3 times.
Yeah…That’s true…!
I need to change 3 Buses to travel 30 Miles, and walk for 1 hour to reach destination. If I miss any bus in this pipeline by any means, let me tell you I have no Alternative other than waiting for 1 more Hour, which causes Minimum of one Hour delay to Office. I cannot take a taxi, since they are much expensive. Meter of Taxis in certain locations runs on Time (Indian Autos and Few American Taxis Runs on Distance Meter). If we struck up in some traffic or if we have all red lights in our journey, Meter will keep ticks.

How Dangerous situation it is….? If we don’t have a Car in America, it is like Cutting your legs and asking you to walk without any kind of support.
I know what you thinking about…
The location which I told may be some weird location or the location where I am staying is weird.
Umm…My Answer is NO.
This Problem Arises almost all across America.
I was in Mobile, AL for about 1 Year; I never found a train or bus. I can see the rail tracks, but I never saw a train in those trails. I found one local bus service, but that bus runs for every one hour and also only in certain locations.
If I want to go to a different city, which is about 10 miles away from Mobile I should definitely own a car or someone should drop me in their Car. Let’s say if I want to go to some other state from Alabama Only one option left, take a Flight. I don’t need to tell you how much a round trip costs. There is Grey Hound Bus service available for us, but before taking those buses forget about your destination. I don’t mean they are dangerous but I mean they are tortoise.
Let me tell you guys one more case….!
It is of my friends’ experience. He went to some small village nearer to Minneapolis I guess, but it is in Minnesota State.
He is staying there from last 2 months, till now he couldn’t find single taxi. Besides that he not even found an apartment to share with someone. If he wants to get some Grocery (Indian), he is hiring a car and traveling for almost 170 miles (One way). See how useless location is that.
This is the same story repeats in all over across America other than few locations like, New York, New Jersey, Boston, Washington DC (East Coast of America).
Now I know what you are thinking…!!
Why the hell America has that bad transportation?
Well, best answer is “I don’t know”, but I heard a story from few of my friends. It may be a rumor, it may be true. Let me tell you the story…,
“About 100 years back or some, there was some trading between American Government and American Automobile Association. American Automobile Association Offered, billions of money to American Government for not arranging proper transportation system. Since, that is the only way people will definitely buy Cars for their transportation.”
Sometimes it seems true…!
This is not fair for a common man like me, but I am no one to fight for it, also I guess I don’t have that right. This is the first worst thing I found in America from first day of my stay here. I am not able to understand how Americans are passing their life with this kind of transportation system?

Seriously, I suggest America to think on it and plan something good. It is not at all fair for a leading and highly developed nation.
I don’t know about other countries but as far as India is concerned, we people have much better transportation system. Though our road ways are not good enough, our domestic flights are not up to standard, though our rail tracks are not strong enough, and though there are so many incidents with Auto (Taxi), we Are Leaders.
Heard that UK also have some good means of transportation system just as India, but I guess the standards may be well enough in UK.
I know all Indians living in America may have been faced the same problem I had. Don’t you…?
Share your experiences with me here….!
I imagine, Indians in India may not face the problems like this. Am I correct or wrong with this statement...?
