Why I love India over US

Here's why I am happier living in India than in the United States of America:

My country's economy is growing at six per cent, while America's is regressing.

America's auto companies are going bankrupt, we are churning out the Nano.

Our kids are pretty safe in schools, American kids are conducting massacres.

We might be losing jobs, but their job loss is a deluge.

Nobody blames us for the worldwide economic recession we are dealing with now, but everybody is quite clear where it all started.

We did not start two wars that we could not finish. Georgie Porgie rushed into Afghanistan and Iraq and the Americans still have not figured out what they went there for.

Osama continues to be at large and the weapons of mass destruction that Iraq was supposed to have by the tonne were simply not there.

I can understand our music. In the US, they mumble into a mike, call it rap, and make us believe that it's music.

We're not the largest cause of global warming in the world, nor are we refusing to do anything concrete about it.

None of our presidents have conducted extra-marital sexual acts at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. The White House is a whole different story.

Swine flu we don't confuse our throat infections with our pork products.

In India, my salary buys me comfort; in America, only if I am on some millionaires' list can I afford a driver, a cook and household help.

When we marry here, we don't plan the alimony in advance. In America, if you don't sign a pre-nuptial agreement, you're in trouble.

We might not have the best politicians, but at least we did not have a nut leading our country for eight straight years.

But let me reserve judgement on that until the election results are declared. Given some of the contenders for the post of the country's prime minister, we might just end up feeling ki yeh sab Maya hai.
