The Lonely Kids of US

Kids in USA are a hell lot different from what we get to see in India.. They are taught to lead a completely independent life from day 1 (or atleast year 1). U can spot 2 yr kids in the airport carrying a tiny backpack (sometimes larger than them) with their baby food, a water bottle, video games/toys. The part I hate most about the way americans bring up their kids is that... the tiny lil kids.. less than an yr of age are pushed/pulled around in trolleys .. without they ever getting the love and warmth of hugging their mom !! its like they r training the kids to stay buckled up .. as they ought to... when they r driving (which is how more than 30% of average americans time is spent). I feel like talking to the kid to let know .. what it is missing for life !!!

U probably would never find a kid in India... all alone.. roaming around in a remote area as u can see here...Not great photography .. but depicts what I just said


He is all alone.. even if he falls.. up to him to get going again.. i know what u would be thinking.. "what was I doing ??" .. oh common!! I was busy with my cam.. no time for helping the kids... learning to be an american in america!!
