All things Indian

I don't know how to begin this.
So I'm starting it this way.
Two lines done, still no idea.
Lets change the paragraph.

Actually I've got some words, but for the first time I'm scared of framing them into sentences. Scared, that once my mind assembles them into something meaningful - nasty realities and horrifying truths would come out, for which I'm in no senses of pondering about.

CORRUPTION    RAPE    POVERTY    TRADITIONS    DISCRIMINATION    CHILD LABOR    CONSERVATIVE MENTALITIES    MEN(yes, men!).........  INDIA.
The last thing I'd want to write would be a paragraph made of these words.
I still like to live in my outer illusions of being a proud Indian because deep down inside I still feel - MY INDIA, THE STRONGEST!
And you know why OUR INDIA is simply the best out of the bestests?
Because we Indians are accustomed with small things - things that we never realize our love for and how awesome they are! So for some time, let's just stop thinking about all the bad happening around us and dive into the small bits of Indianistic (I doubt that's a word) joys.

# Ever came across a strange boy enacting a bowling action in the middle of a street which was actually scary as you thought a ball would come straight and hit you, but it turned out rather surprising as there wasn't even a ball in his hand?
Me neither.
That's NOT strange, and it's not even an enactment, it's just his daily bowling practice! (Every Indian guy has done this. Period)

# Indian Marriages.
Noise, noise, noise, noise, noise, noise. Noise to the power 'n' where is the number ofbaratees , food, photographs and the midnight emotions!

#Aren't the most beautiful ladies Indian? Take your mom for instance!

# Superman, Spiderman, Batman........
   Dude, bring the whole justice league in here. We've got one man for them all.
   No, he's not hanuMAN.
   Not even Ranikant.
   Our very own Sabu is enough to crush them with his fist!
   (Okay, Batman can give him a good fight but for me Triumph belongs to those who are Indian! )

# For us, jugaad is staple (and genius too!)

# Beatles, Linkin Park, Enrique, Eminem, One Direction..........
   Yeah they're cool. But when it comes to 'vo kagaz ki kashti' by Jagjit Singh the firangis don't stand a chance to match up, seriously.
Admit it, a single beat of Daler Mehndi's song bucks you up to start changing light bulbs! (do bhangra)

# The great Indian moustache
 Coolest. Thing. Ever.

# Indian moms are the best. I mean how on earth can a single person cook, wash, watch TV, gossip, care, love, scold and stay busy all the time but still look beautiful? (And apni MOM toh mangal pe bhi pahouch chuki hai!)

# Screw one piece and long gowns. True elegance resides in a lady wearing an Indian saari.

# When it comes to choosing between a sundae brownie and rasmalai, it's always the latter one for me.

# Our families aren't composed of uncles and aunts. We have chacha, chachi, tauji, taiji, mama, mami, bua, bhaiya, bhabhi, didi, jijaji and the rest. Moreover, it keeps on growing with every family marriage.
 f(family) = family * no. of marriages

# And then there's Modi!

'Chacha Chaudhary makes you behold the beauty of nobel,
better than the bugs bunny or the donald ducks.
remember to cherish the masala chai moments,
as they're prettier than dinings at starbucks.
So breathe in your bits of Indian-ness,
and let the country love grow,
as *staying badiya* wins over *being awesome*,
and bhai remains on top of a bro.'

    "Sometimes, when chaos burns like wildfires around us,
      we have no other choice but to fall in love with the warmth" - Christopher Poindexter.
I guess, I'm in the above situation, but the warmth makes me happy. There are problems (actually people) that our country's facing but to resolve them we first have to love ourselves, love our people and our country. To start with let's cherish the aforementioned little things.

We are a country of great men and women. One of them was Bhagat Singh. For me, there hasn't been a writer better than him on this planet. No Dan Brown, or Jeffery Archer or Conan Doyle. NO ONE. He's known for his revolutionary actions in addition to which I adore him for what he wrote.
It was a bit hazy for me to decide how to start with this blog, but for the ending, it's the other way round :

 'I emphasize that I am full of ambition and hope and of full charm of life. But I can renounce all at the time of need, and that is the real sacrifice. - Bhagat Singh.

    We People Only Are Problems and Unfortunately Only Some Of Us Are Solutions.
