I am an Indian!

Just received this just another forward. But loved it...


Serious joke....(literally)

AN AMERICAN VISITED INDIA AND WENT BACK TO AMERICA
WHERE HE MET HIS INDIAN FRIEND WHO ASKED HIM

HOW DID U FIND MY COUNTRY

THE AMERICAN SAID IT IS A GREAT COUNTRY
WITH SOLID ANCIENT HISTORY
AND IMMENSELY RICH WITH NATURAL RESOURCES.

THE INDIAN FRIEND THEN ASKED

HOW DID U FIND INDIANS??

INDIANS??
WHO INDIANS??
I DIDN'T FIND OR MEET A SINGLE INDIAN
THERE IN INDIA.

WHAT NONSENSE??
WHO ELSE DID U MEET IN INDIA THEN??


THE AMERICAN SAID

IN KASHMIR I MET A KASHMIRI
IN PUNJAB A PUNJABI
IN BIHAR, MAHARASTRA, RAJASTHAN, BENGAL,TAMILNADU, KERALA
BIHARI, MARATHI, MARWADI, BENGALI, TAMILIAN, MALAYALI

THEN I MET
A MUSLIM,
A HINDU
A CHRISTIAN,
A JAIN,
A BUDDHIST

AND MANY MANY MANY MORE

BUT NOT A SINGLE INDIAN DID I MEET

THINK HOW SERIOUS THIS JOKE IS

THE DAY WOULD NOT BE FAR OFF WHEN INDEED WE WOULD
BECOME A COLLECTION OF NATION STATES AS SOME
REGIONAL ANTI-NATIONAL POLITICIANS WANT ....

FIGHT BACK -

ALWAYS SAY I AM INDIAN

Jai Hind!

Now this is not a joke ..rather it is a Bhaddaa mazaak...upon us..as this is exactly what the foreigners see us as..separate, ununited...
that's bad..moreso because this will not change in many years to go...

Ganapati Bappa Morya!

Om Shree Ganeshaye Namah!
Well...Have been waiting to write my blog since a long time...
It seems it had to be today..today...which happens to be the 5th. day of Ganesh Chaturthi...
Our colony's Ganapati left today. Glad dat i cld make it on time to have a last look at him.
It is such a different feeling..all the devotees surrounding the vehicle in which the Lord is kept..some singing, some dancing, some just looking at the Lord...with sooo many things to say..yet can not...The heart says it all..The Lord knows it all.
The tempo filled with excited kids...all joyous to have a trip to the nearest lake or the beach for Ganapati Visarjan..a mini picnic I must say.
But in d end..wen the moment of Visarjan comes...it is just a one-on-one conversation- the devotee and the Lord...with requests for fulfillment of wishes, for peace, for strength, for prosperity, for success, for love, for recognition, for jobs, for luck, for health, for wealth...
But the last request is unanimous..the request to Come early the next year...

Ganapati Bapaa Morya! Pudhchya Varshi Lavkar Ya!
