20. A message from you to other NRIs
I have seen several NRI who are successful in American society, but very few do anything to their country. Majority bash about their homeland. Please have some selfrespect, if u can not do any good to your country try not to say anything bad infront of other NRI's or other countrymen. That shows you yourself have no selfrespect and can not defend your own origin and values.
