Welcome to India

This post is strictly for humor.

Now posting the note above I guess I can carry on what I am here to say. Recent times while I roamed, a lot of places in India, every place made me think twice, about the difference in people, the style of living, the character of a person, the life style in all. It was so different from one place to another, but by just giving another thought, I could figure out some unique things that are similar to people in India but no where else.

So I thought why not jot it down, and if some foreigner ends up on Indian Soil, the list below will help him make sure he is surely in India.

1.) It is 5 years now, after the car came home, still the seat cover plastic is intact. And the places it has worn out is fixed with cello-tape.

2.) New remote control of the TV. The plastic is not removed, it has to get worn out by heavy usage, only then its taken of, and hey not just that replaced with new covers.

3.) Which are the Government Buildings? The building which has more colorful red spatter on its walls, and corners of it, you are in the government building then.

4.) Hand-in-Hand Walk. No no, stop thinking about the romantic walk of the couple on a beach, here it is two guys or girls walking ALWAYS. It can be to a market or a movie, to work or a restaurant, you will always find them walking Hand-in-Hand, and believe me they are not Gay.

5.) Un-educated with Dual-Sim Mobile. Society terms them as Un-educated, but you can see them having 3G cell enabled cell phones (and they're looking forward to buy Android one's next).

6.) Protest Against Westernization: Protesters are in Jeans, Pants, Tops, Tees, riding on Cars and Bikes, with cell phones, digital Camera's, Loud Speaker and systems, with publicity ad's on website, digital hoardings and final meeting in a Air-Conditioned hall. STOP WESTERNIZATION is the theme.

7.) Husband is the bread earner of the family, and gets permission from the wife, how to spend the earned bread.

8.) I am 21, legally able to do everything, that I have been doing from the age of 15.

9.) People are educated in SSLC + PUC + BE + MBA = Unemployed. Daily Wage worker, education=nil, earning 50K minimum per annum.

10.) Animals and rodents are fed, praised and worshiped while humans die due to starvation, famine and dehydration.

11.) Everyone has cold water baths early in the morning, but before going to sleep cover themselves with heavy blankets, saying they feel cold.

12.) Everyone has mail id, but they do check or dont once in a year.

14.) You will get the whole meal in a leaf to eat, while a snack or doughnut in plate.

15.) Your 30, and still you need your parents permission to go for a night out.

16.) You are in a middle of chaotic people, where there are North Indians hating the South Indian's and vice versa. The West Indians are too confused of whats happening around, while East Indians are hardly bothered about anything.

17.) A person saying 5 minutes he means 1 hour and 1 km he either means 100mts or 10kms, varies in different region

18.) All newspapers, the front page will be with large headlines, of Bomb Blast, Terrorist Attack, Murder, or any other Crime

19.) No matter how much research you do with a lot of people, you will never know whats "in-fashion".

20.) Visit every nook and corner of India, the conclusion you will have at the end of the whole journey, it was worth it.

So Welcome to India!
