"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." -JFK.
Am thinking ... If I was not born here... my country could have saved a lot of money.
My primary education: Wow!!... It was almost free for me!!!
Still I don't know what integration is. :-(
(Alla..ithokke padichittu njan enthu nedi? enthinenne ithokke padippichu?)
My B.Tech Education: I (Err...my Dad) had spent only Rs. 10000/- or less including books.
But if I start calculating the amount spent for me to acquire a Graduate degree... fuzzy !!!
See the infrastructure of Govt.Engg. College, Thrissur. Divide it with number of students.
Count the Lab equipments and its maintenance cost.
Count my Professor’s/lecture’s salary.
And What I offered to my country? Nothing.
My Social Awareness: If I don't throw waste papers and never spit on the roads, My country could have spent lesser amounts on the cleaning army.
If I have a clean and healthy habits... My country needn't invest huge sums on healthcare.
Each time when I buy a cheap DVD (just Rs. 30 ) carrying three Indian Movies, I am nailing the Film industry here and I am not bothered about it. The rumors has it that this money is going to fund anti social elements/terrorists. If I didn't born, I wish :-(
I had spent so much time watching cricket. My unnecessary craze on this lazy game killed many other sports in the country. At least I could have spent more time with my mother on purchasing something from market, or helping her. huh!!!
If I were a responsible driver, with a sense to avoid mad rush in traffic jam, it could’ve saved considerable time for many other people on the road.
I am not daring to measure the amount of food I've just wasted; but I am sure that if I do care my country will be surplus in its resources.
I am sad... Not a single Indian has got benefited from me.
I am living for myself, for my family. I am selfish :-(
Whatever talent I have ...I am using it only to curse my country.
Oh... JFK... my salutes !

I'm very offended by your article. How much are you paying as Income Tax every year ?
About the DVD, whatever the movies which are worth watching are still watched in theatres. You will only get Junk Indian Movies for 30Rs. The movies are really good have already earned its profit in theatre.
Possible remedy for this kinda guilty feeling is to read Ayn Rand (Fountain Head, Atlas Shrugged, Selfishness is a Virtue)
Humm... Its the courage that u put something about u in this blog, I really appreciate it... And by the way I am also a selfish. But I am trying to change a little. I had planned to give food for the poor people("Vridhaashramam") in my native next month. Oh god I keep me alive till next month. Ithoru "nercha" onnum all. Aarkkum vendaathe oruruthar ammayeyum achaneyum ingane ulla aashramathil aakkunnavarkku nammalaal kazhiyaavunna oru cheriya sahaayam.. Alle maashe ...
what about the time wasted when u go around disturbing people in their cubicles with ur famous opening "endokkae indrraa machuu"??? ;-))))
