Summary:'...I have been in Ireland three years now. To me personally, Ireland has been the loneliest place I have ever been in my life. It is the coldest place and when I say cold I do not mean weather wise; mainly it is the cold of human relations. I do not necessarily call it outright racism because it is not only racism'. '...I have been in Ireland three years now. To me personally, Ireland has been the loneliest place I have ever been in my life. It is the coldest place and when I say cold I do not mean weather wise; mainly it is the cold of human relations. I do not necessarily call it outright racism because it is not only racism. You see when people meet in pubs here they think that is closeness but it is not and this is just a big smoke screen that hides the true separateness of the Irish people'. '...I love the country and Ireland is blessed with so many good things. The land is wonderful, there are fields and forest, and it is all so green. People say there is too much rain but where I come from it is all dry, hot and humid. I really enjoy the weather here and there are seasons, which we don't have in India. It is beautiful and the leaves falling around - people have everything here'.
