Last Sunday when I went to college, was having discussion with my professor who is recently back from Harvard as to what is the difference student in B-schools there and in our college. Her reply to that was "it is not students who are different but it is the culture which is different. We Indian believe a lot in multi-tasking and handling more than one high priority task at a time. Hence the focus required really not achieved. While in the case of western countries, people do every bit of their day to day routine with a lot of passion. They will just not allow their family time to interfere with their office time and so on. That is one of the reasons they are really able to manage a neat balance between work and personal life.
On the same day, when I was chatting with one of my friends in the night, he said that he has always seen me multi-tasking. When I sit back and think, it is just so true. My day starts with cooking breakfact, lunch and dinner, followed by Siya's school, getting myself ready for office, handling more than one team in office, picking up Siya from some classes, take up her studies, listen to her stories, study myself, attend college over weekend, etc etc etc. Whoooaa!!!
I guess only a INDIAN WOMAN can do that :-)
