Ambition or self-absorption?

There is this girl I know. Your average mid-twenties-Jane from India. She finished her education here, wanted to go to the US to do her masters. Her father, reasonably well off, took a ten odd lakhs loan here in India, and did his bit in order to allow his daughter to chase her American dream, while quietly pegging away at the loan here and putting two more kids through college and the US ( in all likelihood). Recently, the daughter got a job in the US – and one of the first things that she did was to take a whopping bank loan to purchase a brand new BMW. Daddy’s loan – well, was Daddy’s problem.

Cynic wonders about folks who foist their responsibilities on others. Are they chasing their dreams or running from reality?

I don’t get all these things …why did she take that step instead of helping her father returning the loan…….???That’s so strange……..
