Roti ... Kapda aur Makaan are still basic necessities of life in India (Now when I say nice and interesting post, dont think of these necessities as Mithun's famous titles. ;) )
Coming to the point what are basic necessities of life in US. Here is my list :
A) Cooker
B) Headphone
C) Ability to smile at anyone
Now isn't it weird? However, as always I got my points :
A) Cooker : Mexican, Italian, Mediterranean or Asian, whatever they may be called... under name of vegetarian food they wrap up all salads they have in a wheat or maida (I dont know what is maida called in English) roti. It makes me feel like a child. My mom used to prepare these rolls with a tomato ketch-up when I used to refuse sabzis in child-hood. So my Saviour is cooker. Easiest thing to prepare is daal and you can give it whatever flavor you want. Though I have not tried with every flavor, I still feel safe with daal :D
B) Headphone : Your phone may not have MP3 player. You can not afford an i-pod. You dont even have a MP3 player. Still you need headphone. Why? To protect you my friend. Though it is not that cold for anyone who is been here from long time... but for new-comers like me... the breeze when it enters my ears... I feel like ... :D . I guess you better understand importance of headphone in life.
C) Ability to smile at everyone : How do they know me ? Is she smiling at me ;) ? Am I looking something different ? These were my first thought when an unknown couple gave me warm smile. This is the culture over here ... to smile ... even when you had a good firing from your boss, even when you kept awake whole night for some or other issue ... you got to smile :D
So anyways ... jokes apart ... it is nice to cook your own food ... makes you feel importance of your parents.
