It's all in your perspective

A friend was being driven through Hyderabad and noticed some people sleeping on what passes for a lawn under a billboard. My friend commented to his companion, a government official, that there is also a serious homeless problem in the United States.

The official responded: "ah - but you see: we don't have a homeless problem in India. You look at those people and assume they are homeless. I look at them and I understand - that *is* their home."
