Does money grow on trees? If you’re an NRI that’s the question that needs to be asked to our relatives in India, as they think we are overloaded with money from head to toe. They get this impression from every NRI, and we never seem to know why this is the case. There’s only one reason which I can think of and that’s due to the exchange rate, for $1 you get Rs44 and for 1 pound you get Rs88, so because you are getting more rupees out of the pound or dollar you can do more shopping as products will seem cheaper. Another reason is that some items which are sold outside of India are expensive and those same products brought in India are less than half the price, so it is more profitable for NRI’s to buy products from India and there fore they buy more, which makes their families and friends look as if they are millionaires. A good example is clothing for women, material is 10 times cheaper in India than America or England therefore women tend to buy material from India and get their dresses made from India too and I am talking about 30-40 dresses. This amount is made as its not all the time that people can come to India so when they do some they make a lot of suits which will last them till a long time. So what we need to explain to people is that money doesn’t grow on trees we have earned by working hard and things we buy are for our use not to waste.

Shilpa Shetty a well known celebrity and bollywood actress. Recently she has entered the UK Big Brother house and things have gone a bit upside down. Shilpa has faced racial abuse from other housemates and those who are celebrities them selves. Shilpa has been going through a lot and it must be very difficult for her as there are no close friends or family to talk to, but from what we know of Shilpa from her sister Shamita she is a strong person and we also believe she can go through this.

All this has happened and the good thing is that it has happened on national television, this way we known what these other British celebrities think of Asians and know what they really are from the inside.

United Kingdom calls it self a country which doesn’t discriminate but this has happened and that too in front of many people, this has lead to watchdog receiving over 15,000 complaints, and this issue has also been raised in the house of parliament with Tony Blair.
