Good Bye America

While we are wrapping our current visit to USA, I wish to take few minutes to recollect some memorable events that happened during this time. One lovely gift was the arrival of my daughter. Except few unsettling events on the personal front, it was a wonderful, memorable years, time well spent.


Some of my key observations on the common man's life in the USA;


1. Reliable power & water supply - Except during major snow / thunder storms, there was never any serious disruption of power. The same goes with water supply


2. Influence of internet: Internet has become a way of life for working class people and above.

3. Car: Except few select cities, you need a car in the rest of the country to commute to work or for pleasure.

4. Medical Facilities: Amazing. In the beginning the process appears to be time consuming and unfriendly, but once you get used it, nothing like it.

5.Schooling: Not a major fuss, if you are moving from India. Primary education is free and state run schools do a great job here.

6.Libraries: One can borrow as many books as possible. The free library services far exceed the ones offered by the hifi libraries in India like british council library, etc.

There are still more ....but stopping here. What about things that I did not like? The list again is long ...but what is the point in cribbing? Instead appreciate the good things around? what say?
