In my opinion, just by living there and using that country's resources you are supporting that cause. I mean why not, you are enjoying the comforts of that country? Furthermore USA is known for being one of the most materialistic and consumer-driven places in the whole world today. I think you need to sort out the country you live in first before you point at other people across the border. Of course that would actually take more work than just typing up a rant on www.blogger.com. But something tells me you already know that, and the only reason you write your blogs is for the attention? Aren't you therefore just the same as the 4 carat diamond wearing sindhi Aunty in Hong Kong, both of you seeking attention to fuel your egos so you can feel special since you know no other way? I hope I am mistaken, for your sake. As for the Sindhi Aunty, I could care less, I am too busy concentrating on improving myself rather than focusing on how to improve others. It is said "When you point a finger at others, four fingers point back at you". I don't need to leave my name on this message, because I don't really care for the attention. Its all really immature don't you think Rosh? Hopefully this will strike a chord, but it is said, those who talk alot, may not hear much. And those who hear alot, may not listen much. It is as unlikely that the Hong Kong sindhi's will listen to you, as you will be to listen to one of them. So really? This whole blog is actually the biggest waste of time.

First and foremost, for those of you who ...Roshni,<br /><br />First and foremost, for those of you who found this article, condescending, patronizing or whatever need to open your eyes!!!<br /><br />We Sindhis are constantly trying to compete with each other- who has a better watch, car, ring etc. I grew up in the Caribbean and the Sindhis there are no different. I was blessed to have parents that understood that money is not everything and that an education really matters. Being a Sindhi girl, marriage is the fist topic discussed, not where you plan to go to school or what you plan to become. Everybody automatically assumes you will marry rich and be a housewife. I have had friends who take that path- shop by day and party by night. <br />Roshni points out one flaw in our society- the show off aspect. And I agree philanthropy is important but how about instead of getting drunk every weekend and comparing who had the better dress, put that time and energy and do something for yourself and get an education. It is so sad to Sindhi families (especially ones with their own business- HK tailors and Caribbean jewelers- tell their children to just run the business and not further their own dreams and aspirations.<br /><br />Second, this comparison and show off has led us to turn against each other. This competition has turned into a war. Everyone is jealous of the next person. It is so sad, there are not many Sindhis, we are a dieing population, and we are fighting amongst ourselves. That too for who had the better car, shoes, diamonds etc. IT IS PATHETIC! We should appreciate our rich heritage and bond with our fellow Sindhis over our language, customs and culture, not back-bitting and gossiping about this aunty or that girl or that uncle.We are such a small community, we should stand strong and let people see the best of us, not the worst of us. <br /><br />It is about time someone stood up and addressed the issue with our society! I am proud of you Roshni! I hope you get more positive feedback and create awareness about this issue.Educated Sindhinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426124431382145633.post-70281706380147920332011-03-01T18:36:13.752-08:002011-03-01T18:36:13.752-08:00ROSHNI- If HK Sindhis put up pictures of the chari...ROSHNI- If HK Sindhis put up pictures of the charity work they really did and all the sevaas they engaged in- you would STILL write an article of how they are show offs and flamboyant and only do charity for the Name and Fame of it and don’t really have true intentions of contributing to society or the under privileged. <br /><br />U truly lived in a bubble yourself while out here,I am a Sindhi girl who grew up in HK and DID NOT have the best education or dined in the best restaurants or had the best holidays.
