We Indians are simple people. We are poor. We have aspirations to see offspring living a better life than ours. Our single goal becomes seeing our offspring succeed after their inception. My parents are no different. From early on, my sister was sent to boarding school because my mother was unsure of a better education in my hometown. I was out in the hostel in later years. I stayed longer home because I was homesick.
I visit my hometown, and I see the same cycle, my friends who are doing business out there have the same aspiration of sending kids out of town for higher education and having them build their lives.
