    I recall a conversation a year ago where an old aunty lady said she doesn't want to move back to India because people there are crazy, and nosy, and want to know your business.


    Is this true?

    Is there a way to scare them away?

    How is every day life in India?


    This thought occurred to me now, I wish you could see the way this lady imitated the nosy type people who come to you in groups.


    It's a serious question, even though I am chuckling, remembering this conversation that took place over a year ago.

    Thanks!

    It is a ''global'' phenomenon.

    When you become part of a community, it happens. People talk nice to your face
    and talk **** behind...:).

    Either you accept it as it is and continue to be the part of that particular community
    or stay away.

    Getting worse in my humble opinion, day by day. It's a mad rush for money and status and nobody is quite sure how to behave. All want to learn English but get upset if you try and speak it to them. Horrible place, unfit for human habitation. People staring all the time trying to ascertain your status and what use you can be to them. Instead of asking "Are you married?" they now ask "Do you have a girlfriend?". Get very upset if you profess disinterest. Get very upset if you keep to yourself. Get upset if you don't flaunt your wealth and brag about your achievements and those of your children. I don't even know why this place exists. Nasty people. Unbreathable air. Doctors want to fleece you. Want to know where you are working and how much you are earning. Police are like dumb criminals in uniform. A culture based on force and coercion. Can't maintain roads. Can't drive. If you try to follow the law, you are finished. Nobody seems to understand rules, laws and regulations. Following them is a crime. I don't know who is forcing Indians to have rules and law. Should go back to their old ways, whatever they were. Joke nation with a rich past that nobody takes seriously. Being invaded for the last 1,000 years. Place should be put out of its misery.

    Good luck ignoring them. They are like human CCTVs

    Glad we agree.

    The old aunty you mentioned may had horrible experiences with seriously nosy people. But its not like India is full of crazy and nosy people. There are all sorts of people everywhere in the world. And in my experience, a surprise stare or some sarcastic replies are more than enough to avoid seriously annoying nosy people :)

    Interesting. I posted this long time ago.

    Pains are still there.

    Was challenged to write 10,000 that I wish to pursue matrimonial alliance in India (I'm almost up to 4000).

    One day I love India and Indians, next day I despise them. Hence the well-intentioned challenge (much harder than Surya Namaskar or Burpee challenge) is helping me confront all my negative feelings head-on.

    People are people everywhere. Even people in USA can behave horrible.

    Responses to this late thread came at the right time when I was feeling hopeless.
