You are mentally ill Malathy.

"You are mentally ill Malathy, you must consult a mental health doctor"-said an acquaintance when I met her after several years. I was amused which itself is a proof that I am absolutely perfect.

Showing indifference to my bemused look, she cited the following as the reasons for her grand declaration.

* Signs of anxiety on my face
* Count not immediately identify her

What weird observations! Oh, I forgot! She is an Indian living in the U.S. where I heard that antidepressants are the most prescribed drug and getting an appointment with a psychiatrist is a monumental task.

Most Indians living in the U.S. always bemuse me when they visit India occasionally. For them, everything about India is sick.
