Ignorant, are we??

You never realize how ignorant you are till you come to a new place and you meet people who know about your country down to its population, economics and culture and you know next to nothing about theirs. which is embarrassing. Every person i meet asks me the city i am from and I have barely any comments to make. Oh Slovakia.. werent u once part of Czechoslovakia!! is that what i say. Which begs the question.. are we as clueless as we make americans out to be. we are so absorbed with our own country, our own culture, languages that we dont bother to understand others. or Maybe its just that india is a known country.. perhaps more so than other countries. But i guess i am in a good place to learn. I can understand a little bit about these countries and how they work.
Yes, i am grateful for this opportunity.

It never ends!!!

You know how you look forward to the day when your current tension would end. Like the last exam.. or getting enrolled in an institution. You are so fed up of the numerous things you have to do and you hope for the day when you can sit back and say, its finished. That day never comes does it? You get to relax for like 5 minutes or less before some other aspect comes into your mind and you start the worry and the running around. The last few months I have been filling forms and arranging for hundred things and finally I thought I was done. And here I am, worrying about other hundred little things before I can finally settle in. It just never ends. There is no finally, is there?
