Mangos!

Kudos to the the worlds greatest invention and of course to Al Gore we must sing our undying praises for his invention: the internet. Without his invention in use over in this country, I would go crazy. It seems like I haven't done anything really for the last 4 weeks except 'surf the net' and sleep. Actually, looking back on things, I should have gone somewhere and spent my time worthy of living. However, the paperwork that I have been waiting for could show up at anytime. Literally anytime. No one really knows the time or date that the authorities will authorize things. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason behind the time delays. So it might seem that I have been flitting away my time, and I really have, but only for good reason. And it's not completely true that my productivity is nil. I have been working on company procedures and things of that nature. Stuff that they will never use, but want anyway. Boring and tedious stuff.

Jeannette and I have been watching some old Charlie Chapman movies as of late. They are pretty interesting I must say. It's amazing how you can convey stories and thoughts in a silent movie by using music and acting. We also were noticing and commenting on the living conditions of the citizens of the US during the 1920's, by looking at the condition of the buildings, streets and people in the movie. I know that it's just a movie set, however it does portray a similarity of the condition of the union at that time. I can't help but draw some similarities to the conditions here in India. A quite a few of the living conditions are remarkably similar to those portrayed in the these movies. I can briefly conclude and surmise that India is stuck in the early 1900's. Crazy thinking like this, cause the Brits were here into the 50's, so how can this be? It would appear that India has actually regressed a bit! A big difference between the US and India though, is that the people of the US successfully strove to improve their living conditions, were as here, not so much. There isn't a display of the drive and motivation that was so evident and prominent with the rise of the US.

But they have good mango’s!
