Lalu yadav and Bay area

San Francisco; the city itself gives half introduction. The city has different identities; the city of gay, the city of sex, multicultural city, city of immigrants so on so on. The city, which is located in the west coast, is one of the top tourist destinations of the United States. But it will be injustice to introduce the city by limiting on above words.

Because of its cultural diversity and geographically being centre of California, the city has been over publicized as one of the delightful city of the world. It is not strange to see gay couple hanging around the city, kissing on the corner and doing strange fashion with bleach hair and tattoos. Night life is another attraction of San Francisco. Street club, bra bars, message centers and so on.


More over, the internet revolution has sparked software business on its premises like Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft. As a result, the city popularly known as the bay area, has got “Silicon Valley” as the headquarters of the worlds web. Being gate way of the modern technologies and software business has contributed this city as one of the hottest destination for the businessman and tourists.

The history of the city is itself interesting. The bay area has majority of Chinese, Latino, Korean and Indian. It is said that the city was built by the Chinese immigrants who came in the ship on 60s. During the American industrialization era Chinese immigrants built the city. Like wise, Punjabis were brought to build the railway slippers. But now Indians are not limited on those jobs they are pioneer of the software and leading workforce of the Silicon Valley. That is why; the prospective to judge Indian immigrants has changed drastically. All Indian is consider as a computer engineers and respected as well. Many employers of big malls were learned to say “Nameste” and “Sukria”.

Many Motels, smaller than hotels and less expensive, are owned by Patel. So most of the budget travelers make joke that Motel aka Patel. Patel are from the Gujarat, India and has got lot fame in hospitality business. Similarly, numbers of Indian restaurants and groceries stores are growing. It is very common to see Indian women wearing sari and with sports shoe and walking around. As numbers of Indians are growing the system of town is also being as Indians. Generally, in United States law is very strict but even though Indian employers are the first to break such rules. It is strictly prohibited to exploit the employee by using more than 8 hours a day. The law requires giving 10 minutes break after every two hours and half an hour after four hours. But none of the Indian employers follow these rules. They are maximum exploiting Mexican, south Asian and other cheap labors. Nepali workers are in high priority. Since they are laborious and they never complain. Either in restaurants, motels, or any grocery stores Indian labor rules applies. Most of the Indians they have left their homeland almost a decade ago but still they have not give up their attitude and “BIHAR” laws. Indian entrepreneurs have given millions of people jobs and new generation has gained the label of “highly skilled” people of United States, they have not been able to change themselves from their Indian mentality. So I always remember one Joke about Lalu Prasad Yadav of BIHAR. Once there was a team from Japan in Bihar to study about the system. After completion of their study Japanese team purposed Lalu to hand over the Bihar to Japan for five years they will make Bihar like a Japan. In response to this proposal Lalu Yadav told them give us Japan for five days we will make Japan like a Bihar.
