Me in U.S.

I am in USA for about a month. I came here at 20th sept.
We landed at Boston. Well I was exited about this trip. First few things I noticed in USA which are different than India:
  • Cars, cars and cars: It looks like there is no human here. Afteer coming out of airport. I hardly saw people. We went to our appartment nobody was there. We went to office nobody is there in building. On the roads nobody is there but cars.
  • Everybody does all his work: Since there is lack of man power (looks like), everybody does all his work. When I told people here that, in India there is a maid for cleaning my room and washing the cloths, another for cooking and there are couple of security guards in the apartment, for them it was like a great luxuary. Here you have to clean your house by yourself, cook yourself, wash cloths yourself (well everyone has washing machine). So after living few days here, it looks like you are like King in India. In India, in petrol pump there would be a guy to fill the tank, one to take money from you may be one for putting oil on you scooter another one for air. Here you have to do all by yourself.
  • Automation: Most of the things are automatic here, so you don't need human assistance. No wonder India is having more and more outsoeced projects.
  • There is no lack of space: In Bangalore, there is high fight for space. You need to park your car in small corner of the building. All the houses are sticked to each other. Here atleast in andover which is a suburbe of Boston, there is lot of space. In our office, the parking space is double than total work space. In bangalore we have 2 floors of parking and 9 floors of work in single area. Here lot of space for parking, only 3 floors for office, and lots of greenery.
And the list doesn't stop here. Overall it looks completely different to be here.
