I left India 24 years ago, things have changed

There are days when I sit behind the computer screen and think on what to write. Most of the times, I get consumed with blinding frustration with the way our industry is deteriorating and I refrain from writing. So I thought I will share something different today. I left my home country 24 years ago. newly married, I started my life in Nairobi. The time I left India, it was not the best place to live. Life was tough, highly educated people would get paltry jobs, not many people saw sizeable incomes or wealth, and many other woes were the mainstay of my country. Things have changed now. There is a vibrancy, hope and pride that I sense when I go back. Frustrations are still there. 115 degree heat with no electricity or water; corrupt politicians; warped socialist principles that are a guiding light for lining the pockets of our politicians but yet the youth is hopeful. THere are jobs, a better lifestyle and a pride that they are achievers. I found this video that I am sharing and hopefully it will shed some light on the country of billions. India will always be an amazing experience, once you can wrap your head around it !
