It's MY Life!!!!!!!!!!

Or is it? That is what i am trying to figure out. For so many generations, people live life either in the Microcosm or in the Macrocosm. By the Microcosm, i mean for their friends, for their family and of course their personal life events. The Macrocosm, would suggest the broader society, and doing your bit for your country. However, in today's time, where reasoning is dominant, the individuality suffers, and the youth of today's times are caught in the Crossroads as to what is right and what is wrong.

I am now at the Crossroads. I do not know what is right and what is wrong. This is with regard to my trip to the UK for my masters in International Journalism. If i was going there in 2000 or something, i might not have faced this dilemma. The one thing that i have noticed is that Globalization, for whatever we have read is a farce. For, it is observd that the 'Liberal West' is tending to furthur isolate itself in this global village. Conservatism and emphasis on the Sons of the Soil are making their presence felt in that part of the world.

Fear is built up among people who go there that they will be treated as Second Class Citizens. A report today about the plight of Asian Americans getting shunned in the field of Music adds to the fear. The fact of the matter is that the Stereotype is dominating the psyche of the people in the West about people from the East. In the UK, the place where i am going, i might also be a victim of this stereotype. Today, in order to save the native population from being Jobless, the Migrants are shunned. These migrants, to which these forward nations promise the sky, are bought down to earth and shunned. I might, hopefuly not, be part of this.

I am being accused by my close ones, that I am taking things for Granted. I go in with an attitude that things might be wonderful there. But, they do not seem to understand, that I do not expect a better life there. I am only going there with Optimism that things can be a little better. But, the writing is on the wall. To expect a better life away from your own house, is a Dream. For me, being Optimistic is my only tool for survival, and i hope that i am not wrong at least on this front.
