Back from Vacation, God is it good to be back !

All it takes me is an overseas trip to a third world country to start realising my blessings and thanking God for them. I would highly recommend all the pundits going crazy with their" The US is going down and everything is bad" negative raaga to go visit a far away country- that would show them what a great life we have here.



Why are we, as a society, becoming a bunch of whiners and complainers? I know when you lose your job, or your healthcare or lose anything else that is important to you- the tendency is to cry about it but somewhere in the crying we forget to count our blessings.I just got back from India where people living in the cities are breathing the most toxic air, drinking the most infected water, living in abject poverty( or living in complete opulence), sleeping on the streets in the extreme heat or cold- yet they go about without stress !! This is the one thing that amazed me because at some deep level there is the confidence that things are ok.

When I landed at SFO, I almost kissed the ground !! I thanked God for bringing me back to my family, where I can breathe fresh air, see the blue sky, live in a beautiful environment, drink clean water and have 24/7 electricity and water !! I am not here lecturing anyone but sharing my thoughts and experiences- People, PLEASE be positive and thankful,things could have been worse. Do not forget the art of compassion for one another and do not lose the respect for one another. Life is good and will get better.
