I'll make no bones about the fact, i love india, i love being indian. there are just certain things which only indians can do.
go on the street to eat snacks, golgappas et al
be a producer of KBC2 and give questions like
ritesh deshmukh and tushaar kapoor starred in which movie
a) kya kool hai hum b)kya fool hai hum
c)maine phone kyon kiya d)kya sust hai hum
we can silently smirk on the fact that we live in a country with such a 'wide culture', the diversity, haven for hollywood stars.
best part is the fine mix of language that we speak. A well made mix of hindi and english sounds soooo ELEGANT, i think.
we can make remixes of songs like no one else, senseless ones, funny ones, dirty ones.
we can speak in weird accents, bihari, haryanvi- basically we're excellent mimmickers.
at the end of the day, the average indian will try to help you (and fleece you in some slight way)
Some things are said a million times better in hindi, it's a very emotional language.
Our primitiveness, so as to say, when compared to the West, is kind of endearing, i can hardly imagine life without a few power cuts, water problems, cribbing about prices at mocha, a few repairs here and there on our own.
THE CRICKET TEAM!!
indian parliament.
the kashmir dispute, i find it rather amusing now. the two countries have decided to agree that they will make efforts to agree to one another's positions- that's what they do now.
the "corruption" and social evils and inefficiency.
we get by, you know. however the state of this place is, i don't want to leave for studies and all. In some manner we do manage to get our points across, we're nice people blah blah.
i LOVE my country
happy indepence day too in a few days
