Indyeahhh .. Ind"ya" .. India .. many names, one country, one unit .. n yea only one name that rocks :) Am I true .. maybe not .. latest hits -- Goonda(RAJ) proves we are not countrymen, we are statesmen (with a different sense !!! ) ... but still my India is the greatest place .. isn;t it !! yeh .. it is :)
India is space; space to include the pilgrim and the politician, the poet and the revolutionary, the street urchin and the merchant prince, ahimsa and nuclear might, 3,000 years and the 21st century.
India is the express highway thundering with traffic and the slip road beside it with the sign 'For camels, elephants and bullock carts'. India is mega dams and factories, call centres and shopping malls, and the voices raised in protest against all these and more.
India is a colour TV, garlanded with marigolds and a picture of Lakshmi on top, playing MTV while grandmother counts the beads of her mala and grandchildren dream of US green cards.
India is the crowded bazaar where two dozen languages and half a dozen faiths negotiate the day-to-day transactions of buying and selling, and haggling and cheating, and quarrelling, and, above all, always above all, living together.
A billion-plus narratives of itself, waiting to be told.
Not just once upon a time, but once upon a future...
Love u ...
