I got the opportunity of'
knowing the lifestyle and culture of people of other

countries when I came to America. Though it is a huge place and
diverse

than India but the' attraction of
getting it to see with my own eyes and

experiencing the beauty of its landscape which is as varied as India is

remarkable. Now
the comparison between these two countries is

inevitable due to the wide difference
we come to notice based

on various terms .Question may arise why this comparison and

why would we need to have our own country be judged in the

terms of some
advanced and rich nation like America.

To add to it what is the requirement of
knowing this progressed

leader of the world. So to clear up all my intention of writing
about

my visit to America is not to talk about the huge gap of development

we get to see
here in America than in our loving India but to get

to understand the way these
American people who come

'from various origin
stay together united as they call

themselves is really unique.

'

To say one by one the various ways America is so

attractive
to its visitors is like telling an old story of a traveler .

I appreciate the
country and its people very much,

mostly the way they contribute in making the place such

good
looking and well maintained. Obviously the scenic

beauty of the landscape
with coniferous trees

enchants you and keeps you in a spell ,specially the part

I
visited which is on the Atlantic coast , the small state of

Maryland which is
attractive due to its

pleasurable weather and scenic beauty.

'

What I find most attractive in the town of Rockville

in
Maryland is its landscape. The beauty lies in the

environment in the way the place is
maintained and

decorated with' trees
full of flowers. The beautiful scenery

attracts mostly apart from the inhabitants who come from

various origin. I
came to know the wide variety of culture

specially from the apartment I
live in which consists

of many apartments like a community. Though interaction

with
all of them is difficult but you get to see all of them

in one place which
is beneficial, as you could have the

same experience in metros like Bombay or
kolkata where

people of different states stay in one apartment together.

So we find some similarity with India in the way

American people stay united
making the

conception of Global village which we find in Olympics.

'

Life is very fast in any American city as the cars move with
high speeds but

obeying every traffic rules. Most of the people here owns a
car even the

teenagers even if the metro and the buses are modeled
efficiently for all

convenience. The houses in the cities are lined up in a
picturesque way

and they look more like an imaginary land made by some
genie.

What I find most amazing are the various kinds of
restaurants of all

different countries with all various delicacies. The shops
specially the

Indian shops sell every kinds of Indian food items which we
find in India

Thus making us forget that we are very very far from India.
Its

Unbelievable that they even have the movie dvds of recent
hindi movies

So what I find is that staying far from India I get every
taste of India

While staying across the Atlantic in the U.S.A.

Human beings cannot be social, political,economical and cultured absolutely without some control. But apart from all these controls we are dominated and directed by ourselves that is by our EGO which has so many ways of reacting to so many things.

what is this EGO that develops within us and sustains inside and controls our regular life.The amount of EGO shape our mind and our outlook towards life. Our EGO creates our image, our tastes and desires, our wishes and dreams and thus frames our whole life.

EGO this three letter word builds and destroys relation between two persons whether its between parents and children and teacher and student and between friends and colleagues.

How does this EGO control us and transforms us by misdirecting. Most of the time we get the negative effects of EGO. There are very rare cases when we get the positive effect of EGO.

EGO creates a barrier in our mind making us use brakes to our normal flow of  daily work. We stop behaving casually and start listening to our EGO thus give privilege to its presence.

The work of EGO is to paralyze the brain and infect it with fear of losing our self esteem and get fear of insult. EGO makes us lose our trust on people and take away our interest to help the needy. We are always covered by our fear of losing our image and hence losing every other things.

EGO creates fear of insult , fear of gossips, fear of losing name and fame,fear of proper sense of dressing, fear of not enough possessions to outdo the neighbors,fear of no professional achievements, fear of losing social position and so on and so forth.

A man gets ruined and loses his peace of mind and love of family if his EGO gets uncontrolled. He is infected to create the disease of the fear of EGO, which is incurable.

There are so many words which
explain our consciousness

such as sixth sense , feelings ,
thoughts , sensations

mindset , realization together we
call perception.

 

We use our conscious self to
understand ourselves and

make us perceive a little more than
normal.

Thus we explain  that all the extraordinary things

happening around us are recorded by
our sixth sense.

 

Now our consciousness which is our
sixth sense how

does it work? What way does it
exist?

Why is sixth sense so much
discussed?

 

We cannot deny that without our
consciousness we

cannot reveal our strength of mind
.

The sixth sense records and reads
more than usual

events and explains to us more than
normal sensations.

 

We are not human enough if we not
feel the mere sense

of being compassionate to fellow
beings , suffer in

 others sufferings , understand the pain of a
child,

estimate the helplessness of an old
person.

 

We are generally unconscious of
ourselves denying

The respect we won as a family
person or a citizen.

Then how would we be conscious to
others feelings.

 

Possessing sixth sense makes you so
perfect and

different from the rest.

It includes those police officers
and soldiers who

decide instantly to lay down their
lives without selfish

motives.

 

In this post modern world full of
crises we require

urgently consciousness of the world
citizens to

 save themselves.

We need to fight away our fears,
our selfish needs,

our ignorance and get closer to
each other.

 

All we need is to ignite our
consciousness, to develop

our sixth sense , to increase our
realization and to

widen our perceptions by working
our mind.

 

whatever we do or receive if it is
extreme then it produces

serious effect in our life. We react
to any kind of extreme

situation though we like to
experience the best of everything.

We often find ourselves in confused
emotions if we receive

anything in extreme degree. As if
we are not ready to face

all the extreme part of our life.

 

Anything extreme is a deadly
combination to handle

with care .The list is endless to mention all
the

extreme form of emotions. To start with extreme form

of
happiness which makes us cry while laughing and

often unacceptable
like winning a lottery.

On the other hand extreme sadness makes
us loose our

Peace of mind and fall into
depression. Things change so

suddenly that we fail to recognize.

 

Extreme form of anger is very
destructive and uncontrollable.

Extreme laughter makes you appear
foolish.

Extreme jealousy makes you mad to
take revenge.

Extreme generosity makes you lose
your possessions.

Extreme loyalty makes you
subordinate.

Extreme love makes you possessive.

Extreme hate makes you a psycho and
out of your mind

Extreme dependence makes you lose
all your qualities.

 

So we will enjoy every emotions of
our life and make our

stay in this world an eventful life
only when we know how

to  make a balance between the two extreme
emotions.

 

 

why should we be good?

Why should we follow the principlesof being nice to people?

Why should we be kind and generous

to others?

Why always talk of preservation of

energy, take care of nature?

Why go on helping the orphans,

homeless, victims of disaster?

Why express all the best qualities

of human nature,

connect to emotions , spread love,

care, happiness?

Rather why not become selfish,
rude, arrogant, harsh?

Why not use others as much as

possible and pass on?

Why not go on snatching everything

without thinking of return?

Why not trample others in your way

disregarding the effect

you cause in being so insensitive?

You cannot because of your
conscience which indicates

it is very easy to be bad but

difficult to expect bad from others.

We all live by counting our gifts

and returns from others,

so we can no way expect bad
behavior from others at any cost.

We can easily behave badly when

required but cannot accept

insults as we always expect good

behavior from our opponents.

You can hardly find a person who
expects bad behavior from

others in the face, go on meeting

the worst things being to

such an extent pessimistic. We cannot

live receiving extreme

form of rudeness from everybody

else continuously staying like an island.

So we all are good to others in expectation
of getting good in return from all those we meet in

life. Of course we cannot

live our life without our

expectations which are our hopes

and dreams of future.
