The idea of my interest in doing this blog has originated from my observation from our people's behavior in the foreign countries. Millions are traveling everyday from India into other countries. Needless to say most from IT. There are also some very civilized people. Would be grateful if you may share or contribute anything that i can learn.

To be honest I have no idea how useful or influential this blog will be, even triggering the thought that one owes an apology to the people who are waiting in the queue when one jumps it due to a certain circumstance will be a nice thing to happen.

I am writing for a sense of satisfaction. Instead of moaning about witnessing such things I have tried to do what little I can .This is my first blog ever and the topic is such a trivial one.

As we have grown up in a very competing society and our own very reasons we express ourselves as being pushy, ignoring the system and are not aware of the resentment we create among the localites.Though most of us have high morals, value for others, integrity, and are academically better than many of the societies somehow just the expressions and the considerations we show for others are the only things visible to the strangers that we encounter.

I was travelling on a coach from Glasgow to London on the other night. The coach left Glasgow at 10.30, a young man (looked like a student) loud on his mobile talking Punjabi until 00.40 am.

Hats off to the resilience of the Brits. Nobody punched him on his face, not even slightest discouragement. Sure a Brit would not have got away with it with such an ease. Regretfully it has become obvious into the society to expect the immigrants and visitors to behave inconsiderately. But this applies to any society.

I mentioned to him during a toilet stop that I am struggling to sleep, likewise many of others onboard.

On another occasion one of the passengers (our bhai) on board a flight shifted someone else's smaller luggage to the next compartment which was placed there, before he got to the seat. The man (looked like a German to me) to whom the bag belonged got annoyed with this and woke up took the bag and put in between his legs by his seat.

Sol. a. He could have addressed the people around the area to ask “May I shift this to the next compartment?" pointing to the bag which he intends to shift. When the owner of the bag responds, whatever may be his response he could have thanked him. Or even better solution is

b. He could have sought the assistance of the hostess. The staff is a neautral ground and commands certain obvious authority in foriegn gound such as aircraft for both the parties involved.

C.He could have placed his bag in a place even if it was far where it can be accomodated.However he might have had a reason to be wanting to place it nearer to him. Then see above.

In the forthcoming days, when I find time I will endeavor to write something relating to these topics or little etiquettes or the little things which matter socially. I am not an expert or personal development guru, but just a spectator who has views, who has an opportunity to be among people who are called "noble men" here in England.

C u soon
