...dream on...fools...

listening to: the beautiful south - rotterdam

this post was lying in my drafts for such a long tym..never sat to finish it up..had only written the first para till now...:D
couple of months back we celebrated our 62nd year of freedom...and first thing noticed by me which happens every year...the desis in lala land amrika..were the first to wish happy independence day..naah, it's not their patriotism...be it any festival...hahahaha
imagine being wished for janmashtami..wtf :D
happy janmashtami...
cracked me up....

it's so pseudo...they have this dream of going to their dream land USA...yeah the call of the greenback is so irresistible...their refrain..there are no opportunities here...no options for higher studies...
they go there..complete their studies..then their crying starts...
"des ki bohaut yaad aati hai yaar..."(eng translation: the country that we left behind is always on our minds)
"working here is not that easy..."(read..i dont wanna be accountable!!!)

my take...
you know what the problems with indians is...
we have a tendency to flock together...we dont blend in with the locals...we dont respect their traditions...all we know is contempt...and criticism...for the firangis and for our countrymen in india...that's all we got to talk about...
how many of you know people (indians) who have firangis for room mates???
ok, during their graduation it's wiser to live in with desis bcoz that fits in with everything..your course, your finances, your eating habits...
but once you get a job, you have an option...but we indians go looking for desi roommates...
why not be a lil more liberal...blend in???
i know one guy...and i m proud to know such a person...hez my college mate...did his m.s. and now works for salesforce...correction..more than one guy..my skoolfriends too...

i m not surprised at the kind of racial attacks that have been happening in australia...
we play loud blaring music in the middle of the night..we have some kind of attitude problem...we think that every caucasian woman is "easy"...
what's happening to indians in australia is the same thing that's happening to bhaiyyas in maharashtra...we work their jobs, we earn their money, we save and we keep it with us...we dont participate, we dont give back..we disrespect their women..(this is one thing that i hate about north indian men..they dont have even an iota of respect for women...one should travel in the buses in mumbai to get a taste of what i m talking about...and in this the marathi manoos is also not that far behind...but the situation is not as bad as the blue line buses of delhi...indian men are dogs...period...but have to say, in the south, atleast in kerala, women have more respect..even though half the women wear a mundu and a blouse, they dont get gawked at... )

we segregate ourselves in foreign lands based upon religion and language too...and ohh yeah, citizenship status..:D
all the mallus, bengalis, gujjus, telugus..will have parties and get-togethers every weekend...but gujjus will only invite gujjus, bengalis will only have bengalis and mallus will only have mallus...and so on...and what do they want to talk about in these get togethers..they brag about what class their kids are going to...each parent wants to be one up on the other...and in all this the children suffer...we indians just dont give options to our kids...it's all forced down on them..so the avg indian nri child will be attending classical music, classical dance, violin, piano, and what not...when do they get the tym to be children and act their age...

and the size of their egos is directly proportional to the visa or citizenship status they hold...:D
the segregation and discrimination happens on that level too...citizens, green card holders, h1bs, l1s...

if you cant adapt to their way of life and work culture why do you work there???
is all i can ask...

anyways, this is one song i like very much...rotterdam...
when i was a kid this woman was the most beautiful woman for me on this planet for a period of tym...hehehe
and what a lovely voice she has...:)

...the forever dance...

man...i just came across this video on facebook...and i was spellbound...& smiling for the whole length of the vdo!!!
why???
see for yourself...and i love this song by chris brown!!!
:)))



now who wouldn't love to have friends like that???
ok, we indians arent that foreign to dance at our weddings...it's like without the dance there's no wedding at all..:D
atleast for the north indian weddings...
but this came as a surprise for a christian wedding!!! :)
a lil bio about the bride and groom...courtesy their site...
http://www.jkweddingdance.com/

Jill and Kevin met when Kevin’'s childhood friend, Jeff, married Jill’s college friend, Ann, in 2005. They were both in the wedding party. Jill could not resist Kevin’s wit and charm. Kevin could not resist Jill’s intellect, nor her remarkable dance moves.

here's 3 cheers to the bride and groom...
