Yes.
Some of it is really shitty but the good stuff is good. You just have to separate the wheat from the chaff, as they say.

Oh God, this has got to be the most difficult question ever. Most of the time, it comes with no context, is highly non-specific, and is usually posed by people I have just met. There are some variations on this question. One such variation that I simply cannot answer is about the differences in the education systems. I did not go to high school in the US and I’m certainly not in an Indian college/university. How the fuck am I supposed to compare systems when I’ve only been in one or the other? Others include “How’s the life in America different from that in India?” and “Do you like India better or the US?”
Without any specifics, this comparison is nearly impossible to deal with and my standard response involves me blabbering about how it’s difficult to make a choice and that “it depends.” It gets them off my back. Unless they’re the super-curious type. For these people, I need to provide a less vague response but only after I can persuade them to be more specific.
There are things that are better here, and there are things that are better in India. For example, my ENTIRE family lives in India, the food is great, know some cool people back there, I get to watch cricket and football on TV, etc. etc. Here, I study at a well-known university, the interwebs are good, I know even more cool people, I get to watch my favorite bands live, etc. etc. But this is about as good an answer as I can give if you’re not specific enough with your question.
Oh man, did anyone see the Lost season 4 finale? That was so tits! Too bad we have to wait a few months for it to return. BSG ends soon. And all the other shows have wrapped-up as well. Summer really sucks as far as TV shows go.
In conclusion, please stop asking me this question. I mean it. Also, I just realized that 99% of the people who ask me this question will never read this. DAMNIT!
