The Reasons For Going To The US

Okay ... Ever since I wrote my previous blog entry, I've been getting phone calls, GTalk pings, sms'es, etc from many people asking me for the "true" reason why I want to go to the USA.

Before I move on to talking about it, let me tell you what a few members of my friends and family it could be:

* My Dad thinks I want to go to the US to make and save more money.

* My Mom thinks I want to go to the US for a better career growth.

* Pallavi (aka Pallu) thinks that I want to go to the US just to get laid.


Well, I must confess, they are not completely wrong. It's a bit of everything listed above and something more too!


You see, I'm very bored with my life these days. It's like I don't have a flame or passion inside me anymore. I've been feeling so very lethargic, and sulky, that it's as if I've shrunk myself into some sort of a cocoon.
And trust me - This isn't the real me!


Heck - I really need to shock myself out of this state I am in now. And for that - the US is the perfect place.
(As a matter of fact - any new place - where no one knows me and I don't know anyone - is the perfect place! US just happened. If it hadn't - It'd have been the UK!)


I've been told that in the US - no one gives a shit who you are and what you do. You can just be yourself and there will always be someone or the other who accepts you that way.
It's a place where you can "discover" the true you!
This is waaaaaaaaaaay in contrast to culture here in Cochin (and India in general) where everything is done (read as forced upon you!) in the name of family/traditions/values/etc.

So - as per me - USA sounds like my kindda town!


Anyways - whether I am correct or not - only time will tell. But till then, I am going to live in the hopes that I am correct and everything is going to work in my favor.
:)


And Pallu - FYI - I don't have to go all the way to US to get laid. Bangalore and Chennai were very [ahem] "opportunity laden" as well darling!!!
I'll leave the rest to your imaginations ....
