Kolkata is famous for its sizeable, ethnic Chinese population that has vastly contributed to the city’s rich cultural heritage. Although the Chinese residing in Kolkata for generations have integrated the Bengali way of living into their own lives, they have never lost their voice and has fiercely maintained their identity, which often finds a vivid expression through their quintessential festivals. The Chinese new-year is celebrated with equal pomp and gusto in Kolkata as in China. Streets resplendent with lights, intimate family gatherings, legendary Chinese cuisines and above all, camaraderie add to the color and joyous spirit of their celebrations. If you are in the city around that time, do not hesitate to participate in their delightful new-year celebrations, including their traditional lion-dance and take your study-abroad experience to a whole new level.

You may recall that “A Christmas Carol” is indeed a ghost story… but I’ll bet most people watch the movie only at Christmas time. I prefer to use the film to remind myself to keep Halloween in its proper place – as a fun, spooky holiday for kids – and to keep Christmas on top as my personal favorite holiday…

The world is full of opportunities to give back and volunteer. Plato once said that, “Any man may easily do harm, but not every man can do good to another.” With that in mind, it’s clear that giving back to the world sets you apart from most other people.

What is also not explained to the average U.S citizen when shown statistics displaying each ethnic groups level of progress in comparison to whites is that shown statistics are greatly skewed in favor of whites and near white groups by causing blacks to appear to possess numerical supremacy or equivalence to other groups without stating the actual population level of each group; thus, blacks would appear to possess greater numerical values in terms of: lack of educational achievement, dependency upon social services such as welfare, and violent or drug related crimes. What white liberals, conservatives and their allies…

Okay so, I don’t live in a big city, I never liked it much. I’ve always preferred to live in the suburbs, away from the traffic, hustle and bustle, and often the crime. However, now that I live in the suburbs, I find that the state government wants to tax me more, and take my tax dollar and give it to the city.

The words “Tea Party” seem to be in everyone’s lips these days, most especially with the American Presidential race just around the corner and the “Occupy Wall Street” protests becoming more than what was expected or even predicted. For those not familiar with what this is all about, the Tea Party that is now rabidly discussed over the media even as this article is being written, is not the historic Boston Tea Party.

As an American, I know that free markets, freedom, liberty, and capitalism are the best way to run a modern civilization. Indeed, I’ve participated in capitalism, and am retired from the franchising industry. I have seen the incredible speed at which the free market operates, and how it delivers all the needs and desires of those that are willing to partake of their dollar for products and services.

The tragic consequences of the global hypocrisy are insane, but nobody feels responsible for the existence of poverty on Earth. Selfishness is only theoretically condemned in our world, while greed is always applauded, in a way or another. You are induced to be a selfish consumer who should care about making a lot of money in order to keep buying everything that is produced by various companies (because these companies have to keep selling their products).
