In his post, Ravi reflected on how the day begins much earlier in the US compared to what many people are used to in India. He wrote, “Here, the office starts at 6:30 am, and by 3:00 pm, people have already won half the day. Back in India, by that time, we would still have tea in one hand and a phone in the other, watching “100 big headlines” while our minds fluctuated more than the stock market.”
‘India taught us emotion, America taught us time management’
Ravi further added that both countries have their own lessons to offer. He wrote, “But one has to admit, India taught us emotion, and America taught us time management. Now, the situation is that people here start working early in the morning, while we Indians first check who is trolling whom today. Anyway, wherever you live, learn from that place, keep growing, and respect both countries.”
