<p>You know, I am planning to attend college in the US in a few years' time. At first, my parents were totally against the idea. Their arguments - I would be too young to live alone, and India has good colleges. I strongly opposed this, and made them realise how much I'd gain if I went to the States and how much I'd lose in terms of experience if I didn't. Slowly but surely, they came to see my POV. Just bring it out bit by bit, see if that works. To have the whole thing splashed in front of you can be a little unsettling at times...</p>
