Food for thought: Analyze This!

First a few words of why I'm making this post. I was sent an article in email. Due to multiple forwards before it got to me it had been totally distorted in text and paragraphs. So I decided to find the true source of the article. I browsed through the garbled text to find what the heading of the article would possibly be. Now you'd think why should this be so difficult? Because a heading is always that - a heading i.e. at the beginning. But its not necessarily so simple with forwards! That is so because there were many lines added in the beginning by forwarders themselves which made it difficult to find the heading! So then I found one line which didn't have any related sentence before or after it. Bingo I thought! Copy pasted the line in Google search bar and voila! I had the original link to the article. (And yes, I had correctly guessed the heading!)

The article presents a good point of view of normally taken-for-granted things when it comes to Indians living/studying/working in the US. If you've been to the US for study or work you'll identify with it. If you haven't it is still a good read. Food for thought guaranteed!!
