A creed, some thoughts!

Australian resident Indians - confused, riches- loving, uncaring, wretched souls???
Not really. Of course, they are a creed of varied nature, like any. Yet, some characteristics are worthy of note.
My analysis reveals that they are still bound to India- each individual clinging to a different string. They take interest in sports, like the natives- to the extent that they personalize activities like fishing, camping, skiing, sailing- that which are unheard of, in India. Some even
follow rigid timetables which includes an ealy dinner ( 7:00 PM!!).
They are mostly hardworking. They do more than 1 job sometimes, to keep the big bucks rolling in. The women in the families face very little barriers. But the responsibilies do not depreciate. They are effecient, part- time homemakers, socializers and career- oriented individuals.
The kids, with their Australian accented English often overwhelm their parents with questions. Fortunately, the internet is at their disposal!
Thats a short description of the indivduals...nothing more!
