Few days back I made a trip to Rome. It was just a one day trip and I returned by the night train. Mt train from Rome was is night with a 10:50 departure. I spend a long time waiting at the station’s waiting room. Then I decided to come to the platform from where the train would leave. On my way to platform I met some Indians. I just saw them but didn’t communicated.

They were looking quite modern. Children communicating in very good English ascent, gave a clue to me that they must be UK based. Few minutes later it my guess turned out to be right.

At the platform, both me and them raced towards the empty bench. The bench was luckily big enough to accommodate me and some of them. There were two woman, two men and two kids. One woman was trying to be very stylish, every now and then moving her hands trough her hairs. Her husband was brought up in UK ans was as likely trying to be very English. What caught my attention most was, both husband an wife were criticizing strongly about the various things in India. They started with the facility of trains, saying they are not comfortable and secure. The other couple was trying to be against them, and thus were putting points in favor of Indian government.

At that point hearing all that I felt bad, but when I later thought over it again, I realized that to some extent the criticism is valid. Certainly for a person who has been brought up with such luxuries with definitely complain on the arrival of any discomfort, because the mind has been trained to live in comfort and luxury.

I wondered has India been also full with luxury and free from problems, such criticism will have no place.
