CONFESSIONS OF A WHITE BOY(IN INDIA)
When asked the question, do you regret living in India for 9 years and the US for only 1? I simply relied "No". I realized that being an American, I was expected to answer negatively towards India but I just couldn't see how I could enjoy living in the US more. Aside from the fact that I absolutely hate power cuts, cable cuts, the heat, and the way India played against Bangladesh, but I still find it much more fun than the US. In the US, you take everything for granted. Here, you have to wait, and it makes it all the more awesome when it finally arrives. For example, I had been waiting for my Nintendo Wii to arrive since its release date of November 19, 2006. It arrived March 6, 2007. I enjoyed waiting for it! There was lots of mystery of what went on in that tiny little box! Anyway I just like it a lot more here and I probably won't ever enjoy living anywhere else in the world more than this because I've learned everything there is to learn about life from ages 6-15 (18 by the time I leave) here in Delhi. I know it may sound weird for a white kid to be saying this about a country he's not even a citizen of, but really; I love my India.
P.S. I think they should fine or punish the people who attacked Dhoni's house. How would you feel with the pressure of over one BILLION people watching you play? Give the man some credit! I'm sure he's much better at cricket than the people who destroyed his home. Sorry. Things like that make me mad. Come On INDIA World Cup 2007! Kar lo duniya mutthi mein!
