As if you guys didn't have enough of my rant posts. Hmmm.
But seriously, the one thing that PISSES ME OFF (yes, in caps) is kids treating their parents like scumbags. I mean cmon, give me a freaking break. You don't have to move mountains for them. Just be HUMAN.
So I came across this old Indian lady accompanied by her daughter (assuming shes her daughter). She mistook a bread packet of mine to be hers and grabbed at it hard from the cashier's hands. Now you know how impatient and cranky these grocery store cashiers are. She just shot back a cold stare at the old lady. Ok, we all have our frustrations at work and all the drama that makes us go crazy. So I could comprehend her reaction. But the daughter here goes shooting around abuses at the lady for this one. I got so pissed off at this point that I was like Really? Next time get your own bread. Bitch.
I see SO many old Indian couples here in the US. Kids send them off to do the dirty laundry to grocery to dropping kids off at school. So really, is that why you morons bring your parents here? To do your chores?
In other news, (yes I am not done yet) what is with bloated egoistic IITians and Ivy League guys. I mean seriously give me a effing break. Are your egos a way to vent out the high tuition you paid at school? Save the attitude please. Good luck to your spouses though. I sympathize with them. The next time someone gives me shit, I have made up my mind to flaunt my credentials too..Some people just need a taste of their own medicine.
And please whoever the hell you are, treat your parents well. That's the least you can do in your already rotten lives.

I would move mountains and be Hanuman.
hmmm...sad but true! i also see most of the parents being invited to the US only when they are on the family way or when they need someone to take care of somethin which dey can't (or rather don't want to).
ps: ur parents must be lucky since dey might not have to go through this :)
Hmm.. Why did this get me laughing... May be the flaunting part... :)
@Ramana - actually now when I read this post, its making me laugh too. I got so furious at the time that I had to vent it in the blog. lol.
Although I wonder what I can flaunt...oh now I am being very modest;)
I know I always the one playing the devil's advocate - well I wold think that elderly parents would get heck bored sitting at home - in fact they might enjoy little things like going to the laundry or dropping off grand kids at school :) You know, life's like that - just wait till you get to that age :P
