Indian here, and I think that the Great Gatsby is a tragic love story. Not too keen with the American Dream though

Your comment brought a realization to me; The American dream is money and wealth. The Indian dream is romantic love. Hollywood vs Bollywood. In the early internet bulletin board chat rooms, Indian women where all about comparing romantic love, to things in America, as a way to understand our culture. I didn't have a clue back then, they where trying to find out if I was like the Bollywood hero, if so then I was their man.
