The director discovered from his CV that the youth’s academic achievements were excellent. He asked, “Did you obtain any scholarships in school?” the youth answered “no”.
” Was it your father who paid for your school fees?”

Can you explain this?
This young soldier has been terribly injured and as you can see he is blind !
No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the British Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay on retirement, while Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full-pay retirement after serving one term.
This is the same in Canada, the US and Australia. Continue reading MUCH MORE IMPORTANT FOR INDIANS

Change of pace: Adriana Peral stands beside a cow at the front yard of her house in a village in Panipat, India, as she gets used to a rural existanceCulture shock: Adriana Peral stands in front of house old Californian home, left, and outside the bed room of her house in a village in Panipat, India, rightLeaving behind her 25-year-old daughter Lucy Cortez was a heart-wrenching moment, with many friends and family fearing for her safety in India.Mrs Kumar, whose parents moved to the U.S. from Mexico, said: ‘When I walked in and told everyone I had decided to leave and move to India, they were in complete shock.‘My daughter was crying, she was in floods of tears. She was worried something bad would happen to me.‘She said India was unsafe for women. I had to turn to her and reassure her everything would be alright.Hard work: Adriana Peral has left the creature comforts of an electronic dishwasher behind as she does the dishes by hand at her house in a village in Panipat, India,Youthful: A young Adriana Peral, suns herself on a beach in Merced, California‘Some people thought Mukesh was a fake, an online scam and that he didn’t really exist. I can’t describe the moment I finally saw him at the arrivals gate at Indira Gandhi airport – it was a big relief to finally see him in person.’But she admits nothing had prepared her for the culture shock she was about to experience.Her new home was a modest farm house in Popran, a large village over 30 minutes drive from the nearest town.Mrs Kumar found the family used cow pat cakes, made by drying out the excrement of the families herd, as fuel.And with no inside toilet, a bucket for a shower and cows roaming around the communal area, the lack of amenities was tough to adapt to.Day to day: Adriana Peral gets on with the chores at home in her new front yard – a far cry from the Californian houseHome from home: Adriana Peral, pictured with her husband Mukesh Kumar while enjoying their lunch at their house in a village in Panipat, India, says she has no regrets about leaving CaliforniaShe added: ‘When I first stepped off the plane it was a complete culture shock.‘It is stricter here – women have to cover up more.‘In Haryana many people live off the land, there are few basic amenities. We cook on a stove which is outside, and my living room doubles as the place where we store the cows at night.‘We sometimes use the bull and cart to ride around, and the toilet is a communal one. The shower is just a bucket in a closet sized room with a hole in the floor.‘If people back home could see where I am living they would think I am crazy.‘At first it was a real struggle, but soon you realise you don’t need a fancy toilet or power shower to be happy.’One of the biggest challenges, says Adriana, was being accepted among the largely impoverished locals.Then and now: Adriana Peral, pictured during her younger days in Merced, California, left, now lives in a remote rural village in India, where she has adopted the lifestyle of a traditional Indian housewife, rightFamily: Adriana Peral and her mother-in-law Bimla Devi share a moment together at the front yard of their house in a village in Panipat, IndiaHome: Adriana Peral shares this home in a village in Panipat, India, with husband Mukesh KumarMrs Kumar, who immediately ditched her favoured high heels and adopted sandals, saree and headdress, said: ‘Foreigners are rarely seen in the villages here, and wherever I went a crowd would develop all wanting to catch a glimpse of this outsider.‘Over time I began to get used to it. It was a bit like being a celebrity, but they have accepted me as one of their own now.‘A big part of that was dressing like they do and trying to speak some Hindi. In the U.S. I loved wearing high heels and dressing up for a night out at a club with my friends, but here things are more low key.‘You can’t get any of the make-up I’m used to using and women generally don’t apply much of it anyway, it is an unnecessary cost.‘The locals respond when you try and fit in and live as they live.’In November 2013 Mukesh and Adriana tied the knot in a traditional Hindu ceremony, which made headlines in India’s national Hindi language media.The event was a major occasion within the conservative community too – where women are still often expected to be doting housewives upon marriage and normally wed within their own religion and caste.Culture: Adriana Peral and Mukesh Kumar celebrate their wedding in Panipat, India, in traditional styleBull power: Adriana Peral and her husband Mukesh Kumar enjoy a buffalo cart ride through the fields near their village in rural IndiaLeg power: Adriana Peral, works out in the gym in Merced, CaliforniaMukesh, who speaks broken English, but is learning from his new wife, said: ‘Adriana is a good wife.‘She is always doing housework and if my mum is doing dishes she say, “No, I want to do – it is my job”.‘I am very happy to marry with her. It is true love.’Crucially for Mrs Kumar, her mother-in-law Bimla Devi, 70, has given the pair her blessings – and even endorsed her housewife skills.Speaking in Hindi, Bimla said: ‘I am happy my son married a foreigner. She respects me. If he had married a girl from our village, she would probably not have respected me as much as Adriana does.‘She works all the house too, I like her a lot.’Bedtime reading: A hindi version of The Bible is seen along with some traditional make-up items at Adriana Peral and Mukesh Kumar’s bedroomThe couple now plan to have children together and build a family in India, but Adriana isn’t ruling out returning to the US one day.She said: ‘I am actually planning to have children with Mukesh and my mother-in-law even wants me to have two.‘I get on really well with all the family, Mukesh’s brothers and sisters, his uncles – they have all taken me to their hearts.‘If I could bring the American food and luxuries here it would be perfect. But one day we would like to return to America with our family.
