| Hi Jaishree! That was a good one from you! Yes. We all know what a 'gnanasoonyam' Bush is, right from the time he was elected for the premier post almost 8 years ago..... he didn't know about India when he was quizzed about by one of the journalists in a press-meet.... There was a famous saying on the Prez & vice-prez elect (Dick Cheney, I think) --- One without brains (i.e Bush) and one without heart (i.e Cheney since he underwent some heart surgery) And now he has the guts to say such remarks... no wonder America is headed to where it is heading now! I saw in one of the reports that the rate of increase in consumption in the US is higher than it is in India for the year 07-08....this inspite of India's population being much higher than US!!! Wonder what he has to say for this On the 2nd part of your writeup, it is true that tremendous amount of food gets wasted in marriages and parties.... we had been to 2 marriages in Feb on consecutive days.... OMG... the food court was too too lavish.... I could not just figure as to why they need to show-off so much...instead they could have fed a couple of 1000's of poor people..... god knows where India goes....looks like the US way for sure..... ![]() Having said that, I think it is the resposibility of each one of us to bring in a positive change.... If each one who reads this takes a determination not to waste food, then I think it can make a small difference..... My 2 cents.... Regards Last edited by vase : 6th May 2008 at 09:57 AM. |

| Jaishree, Don't bother about what Bush has stated...he is doing this for the past 8 years... It is the human tendency to blame on others when there is fault on oneself... As economy is going south, Bush has nobody to blame, except the fast growing nation on earth, INDIA.. talk about the marriages, festivals and get-together parties...as you had mentioned they take a lot and waste a lot...but did you know that the people behind them don't get the full menu served??? Sure we should make it as a point not to waste food at any given time...should teach our children too.... make our daily food, in such a way that the amount to be kept in the fridge,be less. sriniketan |

| I dont think he has 'blamed' Indians as much as recognised the power of India in the new world economy. Finally India has become prosperous enough for its actions to affect the world ! Until now inspite of having the worlds largest population (or the second largest until a year ago) India's consumption of food or oil was so low that it was not noticeable ! Now our prosperity has made the world sit up and take notice Santosh At last we have prosperity. Now we need to be responsible and conserve also Quote:

| Dear jaishree, You won't beleive me, I had planned to write abt Bush here after hearing to his remark but was busy & could not do so. But you have brought it out very well may be I would have failed to do justice in this. Kudos dear. I also felt very bad on hearing Bush's remark and it is true US is sonsuming more than India though our population is higher than them. Coming to your second part, I am against wasting of food...... How many of our brothers & sisters are without food. Atleast I ensure in my family that nobody wastes food. My younger one was wasting food then I took her to an orphange and showed her how those kids were lacking the basic things in life. From that day..touch wood.........she does not waste one morsel also.

| Dear Jaishree, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Really hilarious the wya u have described things.Taking out one Chappati for the americans, just as we take out for the cow and the crow, is one hilarious idea. But if Bush were to read this, he will never give u an American Visa,so write a new blog praising Bush.That will be good for yr health and visa.Regards.kamal |
