  I haven't seen anybody more narcissist
Partner: So? You've been to US, huh?
I: Yea. Great place.
Partner: So what do you think of US? What did you find different about it?
I: Different?
Partner: Yea. And it has to be really different. Don't tell me it has lovely weather, fantastic infra, cool technology bla bla
I: Do you know what's different about US? It is one extremely self-indulgent place, so very obsessed with self.
Partner: And why do you think so?
I: Which games are popular in US? Baseball, Basketball and American Football. All intensely loved and madly followed in America, but nowhere else. Soccer, tennis, badminton, hockey and whole lot of other games played and watched world over, do not hit the box office in US.
Partner: I can't believe you based your opinion on this.
I: That's not all my dear friend. Watch any news channel - mostly it will deal with national and local news. International news is next to absent, as if it really does not matter. It's all about national security of America, American values, American people, American elections, American business, America, America and America.
Partner: Hmm
I: And Hollywood is everything in cinema - well obviously.
Partner: So whether its sports, news, cinema or politics America lives within itself.
I: Although it's more or less same everywhere, I think America the most narcissist place upon earth.
Partner: True. But let me tell you something.
I: What?
Partner: Sometimes your allowed to be self-indulgent.
I: I don't buy that.
Partner: You are ...... if you are the first world, if you are James Bond.
