Missing you India

India Meri Jaan....!!!!

Missing you my love India so...soo... so.. very much these days.... Especially the Indian flavors: the spices and the variety of Street food. You may find the same food outside India as well but having food on Indian not so very clean streets is sumthing you will never find abroad. So here I am waiting for a long vacation back home, as per the residing country's holiday calendar. Wishing to be back with old friends, for whom you have become 'bare log' or now u are associated with NRI tags... n many such new names will be called for you. Some are happy dat you are abroad and some are not so happy as you are abroad.. or I may say "Jealous". This 'J' factor has its prominence more in India as compared to any other country. Suddenly you become a gossip chapter for aunties in your neighbourhood. Now all your bio-data will be reviewed and analyzed how come you went abroad. There unacceptable sorry sorry,... indigestible reactions will be imagined something like... they had popped in center shock chewing gum.... n the hairs standing straight in upward directions... I feel like saying "Hajmola aunty ji". I brought it from India only...lolzzz...!!!!!!

Well.. well ..jokes apart, but don't your really miss this kind of stuff that you cant find abroad. The life has changed. Now in the new country, struggling to make new friends, friends with sophistication, and discipline. and remembering those old chuddy-buddies back in India, some the gali friends, some office best colleagues, some panwari colleagues or some CP station buddies... n college and school buddies of course. Missing those Indian festive seasons, when the sale is on prominence, and the traffic on roads is endlessly tiring. But still the spirit of festivity is high.. despite of the fact that you will only have one leave to perform all tasks on your list... for a big festive celebration, let it be Diwali, Ganesh chaturthi, dandiya/ garba or Onam in south. Guys will definitely agree with me the fact of watching girls... The Indian girl with salwar/ kameez, or saree or suit or jeans with long hairs and Punjabi chappal or kolapuri chappal....and then observing that this is missing she should wear this or that...

The variety that you find in India in terms of attire or food. It is definitely something which we all should be proud of....

Are you a Indian??? The Traits of being Indian

Every individual is a representative of the culture and belief system from where he or she belongs to. So there are few typical trails which will definitely be visible in mostly all individuals who are from same community/group.

I observed such same things which are found in the mostly all Indians when I was abroad. Please it is nor to praise neither to criticize any religion, community, caste etc. They are just my simple observations

1. Currency Conversion: Everything related to money will need its home rupee conversion, then we cry our hearts out how expensive it is...god !!!! n then ending up not buying or looking out for some cheap alternatives...

2. How clean n tidy: How and whatever way we live in India, we try to keep our toilets clean while staying abroad, we are careful about it. While in India, we don't give a dam. Throwing bits of paper, wrappers of eatables, empty water bottles anywhere on road is normal in India. But since we can be fined or its our netiquettes abroad which resist us!!!

3. Show off: When we are abroad, we can easily boast about our family, our background, credit-ability and credentials. It is quiet easy to boast as we know, there will hardly anyone who will verify the facts

4. Stocking and storing: We love our Indian food, so when its time to go-go India, we get as much of Indian food stuff as much as possible. There's another reason to it one is many people are veggies out there. and then its the love of the family which is reflected through food... more the love more is the Indian food you will be asked to take along with you.

5. Adapting to new place: Adaptability is really high among Indians, since we want to excel in a different nation. Its the need of hour to dress up, learn their culture and to certain levels imitate them.

These are some of my observations, However I may b wrong too... in case so I would love to have your feedback.

But In-case you agree to me above then do share it.
