US H1B Visa and Americans Hypocrisy

This is what I wrote in response to a businessweek article where some US folks had written bad things about Indians.

Some myopic, less informed, suffering people from US think that only IT is driving Indian economy. Well, what else you can expect from the community which preaches free trade and when the churning process starts and it challenges them to come out of their comfort zone, they start complaining. And come to the level of cheap talking, finger pointing and mud throwing.

Almost 1% of Indian population is dependent on IT in India. Even IT is concentrating itself to domestic market in India. Maybe if US starts protective measures than India also should start thinking of restrictions on US goods and services in India.
Indian economy is driven by
- Telecom (of which a US company has for billion USD project)
- Aviation(Boeing gets lots of orders from Indian companies)
- Insurance(has AIG,Prudential and many more)
- Banking(has citibank, ING, standard chartered etc)
- Manufacturing (GE and hundreds of many more US companies which are creating and selling from India and to India)
Like any other thing, a country's economy has its ups and downs and India is no different.

Awkward situations

Sometimes you are faced with strange situations where you don't know how to react.

- In Germany I was having lunch at cafeteria. 2 German gals came and sat on the same table. Germans always speak in German language amongst themselves. But these 2 gals started talking in English, amongst themselves, and were discussing Hindi movies and Shahrukh Khan. I kept thinking what to say, but ultimately did not say anything and got up and left quietly after 10 minutes.
- Once while in US, while travelling from bus I was not having change for 50 dollars bill for tickets. Neither did the driver had any change. I asked everyone in the bus for change but no one would have. A poor looking person came and took tickets for us himself and gave us. He would not take 50 USD bill. We kept asking the persons who would board bus on intermediate stops for it. Ultimately we got it. I walked at the front of the bus where that gentleman was sitting and gave him 4 USD for which he had bought out tickets. Fellow passengers misunderstood it and started giving him money. As I said he was poor looking. I felt bad as I made him look a beggar but he himself was laughing and taking all the money.
- After i came back to India from US, one of my ex-colleague in US started emailing me about how a woman..with whom I was also working is trying to flirt with him..and wants to do much more. What could I reply..so I stopped replying to his emails.
