Republic Day-Indian American

Indian outside India are doing better. Here is example of Indians in US. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Asian Indians have outperformed all other minority and majority groups in most measures of socioeconomic achievement in US. Indian Americans are now the richest ethnic group in the United States. Median household income for Indian Americans was $68,771 in 2004. The median household income, nationwide, in 2004 was $46,326. Education Indian Americans have the highest educational qualifications of all national origin groups in the United States. According to the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin, there are close to 41,000 Indian American doctors. According to the 2000 census, about 64% of Indian Americans have attained a Bachelor's degree or more.(compared to 28% nationally). Almost 40% of all Indians have a master’s, doctorate or other professional degree, which is five times the national average. (Source: The Indian American Centre for Political Awareness.) These high levels of education have enabled Indian Americans to become a productive segment of the American population, with 72.3% participating in the U.S. work force, of which 57.7% are employed in managerial and professional specialties. Economics According to the 2000 U.S. Census Indian Americans have the highest median income of any national origin group in the United States. ($60,093), and Merrill Lynch recently revealed that there are nearly 200,000 Indian American millionaires. One in every nine Indians in the United States is a millionaire, comprising 10% of U.S. millionaires. (Source: 2003 Merrill Lynch SA Market Study). This affluence has been matched by a high degree of educational attainment. Indian Americans own 50% of all economy lodges and 35% of all hotels in the United States, which have a combined market value of almost $40 billion. (Source: Little India Magazine). A University of California, Berkeley, study reported that one-third of the engineers in Silicon Valley are of Indian descent, while 7% of valley high-tech firms are led by Indian CEOs. (Source: Silicon India Readership Survey) According to Technology Review 35, the technical journal of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, "while the Indian-American population is less than one per cent in the United States, the contribution of the community is to the extent of almost 17 percent".In 2002, there were over 223,000 Asian Indian-owned firms in the U.S., employing more than 610,000 workers, and generating more than $88 billion in revenue.

Echoa-French Connections!

In Picture: Front Row, Me, Eléonore Back Row: Camille, Christian, Samuel, Thomas It was boring sunday night in Cleveland, and i thought to avoid cold and sit at home going to Mercury Lounge for little dance and music will be fun which is femous for International Roma night every sunday. There were not many people and not much of happening however at the corner of the dance floor i see a group of people enjoying and dancing. Their dance made me interested to know about them, before saying hello, i started dancing with Eléonore, which was welcomed and friendship started. Meeting them made me to go and see their play 'ECHOA- percussionnistes danseurs'( www.mitiki.com ) and visit next day to see their cultural and art exhibition next day, and party after. These people are really artist and beautiful by heart. Everyone has been so nice and so friendly, made me think of visiting France and see them, thanks for the invitation guys (Eléonore,Thomas,Camille, Christian,Samuel ) i will surely visit in near future. Good Luck and Enjoy. Viva la France.

Why the hell I am awake at 3:30AM ...I have no idea...lot of things does not fit me anymore ...however i still enjoy those...I call it i grow up so fast ...I need different horizon all the time... In past couple of months...i have seen some changes over peoples reaction on me...sounds ..most of the time ...i feel i am doing great...then it comes to compare myself what i was...i feel ...i left things behind...now ...i dont fit there anymore.... Funny Part if even...my most pents size 34...do not fit anymore...lost 4kgs ...and came back to 71Kg...and 32 pent size..why did i changed myself...to look ..better which makes me more confident on presenting myself...i guess...I shaved my head...to look ...how i wanted to be...i know since childhood...i have big..proper shaped head...which looks even better without hair... ...I shaped body after going to swimming and yeah..hell of dancing...sometime...extras... But the real change ...i see is...i don't look Indian anymore to people here...I guess i have gained little bit of accent ...little bit of western humor and a little insight of their life...which makes me easier to understand them and talk freely...call it confidence...comes after knowledge.. Contd...(I lost my thought over some work...I hated though...)
