--From an Alien
I wonder why Steven Spielberg thinks too hard to depict the story of imaginary aliens when there are thousands of aliens spread across the globe in real.
Yes I am talking about the (Non-Resident) Aliens. The prestigious name given to people staying in developed countries after struggling a lot in their motherland. No one would go and stay with the richest Mother available if their Mom is not doing well. But we don’t mind leaving our motherland if someone else provides more comfort, good job and more money. It has become life time achievement for many to come out of their land and earn more for their survival. Only those people are applauded and appreciated. The cost of this realization is too high. They sacrifice so many things and miss so many enjoyments which come without any pain in their motherland. Some miss to enjoy their precious present life just to achieve their great goal of getting their job in abroad. I would call it as escapism. The real challenge is to face the tough competition in your own motherland and win over every situation. Learn the good things from the developing countries, implent it in your land and feel happy with the success. I wonder how the financial ministers of developing countries feel so proud of the increasing FDI without bothering about the percentage of their fellowmen staying abroad. Probably I am yet to master myself in economy!!! The politicians never take any steps to stop the brain drain. This is just a topic in schools and colleges to win prizes in debate. The winner of the competition would have ended up working for an MNC in a developed country.
The NRAs might think they are leading a happy life, but being an alien for about 6 months I feel it is life without soul. Yes you are thrown apart from your own space. You tend to forget your basic family block. You are forced to cling on to the available persons of your community. However hard you and the citizens of the developed countries try you can’t get into a bond with each other. You confuse your kids with two different cultures. Your mind still worries about the happenings in your motherland. So many and so forth…..
But these people feel it is far better to lead a life without soul than to go back to their motherland which can’t provide proper basic facilities, good infrastructure and all things to make up a quality life unless they are forced to get out of the foreign land. The politicians are so bothered about their position and wealth than the country’s development. No measures to control the population, no actions to reduce poverty. The so called great leaders out from famous foreign colleges can give a splendid speech about the country’s culture and development. But they are just puppets in the hands of their alliances that don’t even have a single educated person in their party. No master plan to see the country in a better position in years to come. Democracy doesn’t say you need to be crazy in ruling the country.
NRAs need to be appreciated for bringing in the best things they have learnt in the foreign land to their motherland. They are the major contributors for all non-profit organizations to develop down trodden kids.
The shame is not on the aliens, but on the country that don’t bother to call their children back with better offers. The government can give many reasons as financial deficit, natural calamities etc., but the reality is it lacks a good leader who can take up the country to a better position.
I can’t take this life of an alien anymore and I am waiting to go back to my motherland with a hope to see the best leader soon.

Just happened to check this blog..good topic..
you think the border of a country makes all the difference..To me, the geographical differences are there all the time.. (atleast to me)
when I moved from Tvly to Neyveli - half the words I spoke was considered a foreign language..and what they spoke was funny to me.(have you heard South Arcot accent in real?)
then, move to chennai...it took a solid one year to get hooked to chennai style..until then I kept saying I was from ...place.
think abt North India, Bangalore, Andhra..every thing is different..right from clothes, language, food, thinking etc.. but the only real difference is you can simply buy a ticket & go to these places whereas you need to have your passport to travel outside the country.
People move all the time.."Oppurtunities attract" and thats why we have the term "pattanam pona epdi yaachchum polachikalam"..doesnt mean villages are bad..
>>but the reality is it lacks a good leader
You are able to understand this lackness only when you come out and see our country in comparison to others..After all, when we lived there we didnt complain and took the life granted.
and today, most people here I come across are in a mix and confusion..they think India stays the same and they can get back anytime..the fact is , India is growing at a much rapid pace..Chennai, when I checked last time proved it..if you want, check out some teenagers there and you know what I mean..but here in USA, we still watch Sun TV, eat Indian food, talk Indian subjects and mingle with Indian people.A teenager in Chennai knows and wears more Jean varities than what I do here..:-)
What about "Yadum oore Yavarum KeeLir, Anbe engal Ulaga Thattuvam"
"Thirukadal thandiye Diraviyam Thedu"....
The only truth is every thing undergoes a cycle, now many people feel its better to be in india as compared to recessionary effects in US...
change in eternal...
