Indians are happy inspite of poverty
October 05, 2005 18:44 IST
India has the fourth happiest population in the world, even ahead of Britain and Canada, a survey indicated on Wednesday.
The survey, carried out across 30 nations, found that only those living in Australia, the United States and Egypt are more upbeat.
The most miserable population was the Hungarians.
GfK NOP, a market research company, questioned around 30,000 people in the survey.
The survey found that those in their 50s were the most downbeat, regardless of which country they were from.
Australia was the most cheerful nation, with 46 per cent of the population saying they were very happy. Americans were second, with 40 per cent of the US population saying it is happy.
Britain shared the fifth happiest spot with Canada. One in three Britons is 'very happy' with the quality of life. Only 7 per cent of the population is disappointed with how their lives have turned out.
A separate poll, meanwhile, has named Vancouver in Canada as the world's best place to live.
The Economist Intelligence Unit ranked 127 cities by rating them on factors such as stability, personal risk, healthcare, culture and environment, education, infrastructure and the availability of goods and services.
All the cities that fell into the top 'liveability' bracket were in Canada, Australia and Western Europe.
Melbourne, Vienna, Geneva and Perth made up the rest of the top five.
But London failed to make a big impression, coming in a lowly joint 47th. It was ranked on a par with Dublin and Los Angeles, but way behind Paris (16th).
"In the current global political climate, it's no surprise the most desirable destinations are those with the lower perceived threat of terrorism," said Jon Copestake, editor of the EIU report.The worst places to live were Algiers in Algeria and Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea because 'many aspects of daily life present challenges.' 7333: The Latest News on Your Mobile!

born in the US of A
Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
'Til you spend half your life just covering up
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I got in a little hometown jam
And so they put a rifle in my hands
Sent me off to Vietnam
To go and kill the yellow man
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man says "Son if it was up to me"
I go down to see the V.A. man
He said "Son don't you understand"
I had a buddy at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a little girl in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years down the road
Nowhere to run, ain't got nowhere to go
I'm a long gone Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.
I'm a cool rocking Daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A.

and then
when i cud get no futher satis faction
i moved on to stones
i felt kinda silly
going to Rock concerts
wid the Wood stock crowd
then i found Bob Dylan
and i cud never get enuff
