NOTE: Make no mistake, this is NOT an attempt to diss India. I love and respect my country. And there are many areas where India is a lot better than America.

America is the land of dreams and thousands flock to the country every year. Obviously the exodus happens for more reasons than one. Well-paying jobs, rewarding careers, high standards of living - you name it and Uncle Sam has it all on a platter.  America is way ahead of India in the true sense of the word. And clearly there are a lot of things which they can do that we cannot/don't.

Here are a few such things. Read and reflect.

1. Not giving a damn about PDA

The point I am trying to make is that India can be a lot better if we take some cue from the West and adopt these qualities. Think about it.
