India shining?
Dunno if it’s a good sign or bad..I find a lot of western thinking coming in to our society..the other day met a few of my old friends who generally (ritually from those days) get together and discuss so much as to “improve” India, world, Indian cricket, TN, Madras (not necessarily in that order!)..for hours that too;-)
One such ‘meeting’ happened y’day and after some time these guys, believe me, were discussing dogs..ooph..each one was throwing jargons like lab, dash, rotweiler etc..and jokes on dogs (remember ‘jesus is watching you joke!)..am surprised and find it difficult to accept this new topic in to our ‘improvement’ agenda..and as I come home I see an advt on TV about some dog food - pedigree is the brand! Then I just look around and the basement of my neighboring apts is occupied by a dog/cat food shop..don’t under estimate here..its bigger than my nearest food world!
Then the dressing(!) sense(!!), usage of cell phones, care-a-hoot-for-money attitude, weekend outings, no family values, only TV than people interaction,whimsically throwing/replacing cell fones n other gadgets,what not..as an ad says..naadu engayoo poyutrukku..(transliteration:: Country is going ‘somewhere')

I would certainly agree that some aspects of wesernization as we see it in Madras gets my nerve tightened. But I think it's high time we turned in to better cosumers, it's high time the money trickled down to the lower strata. Had enough with the generation that refused to spend money, If we cannot create a market in our own country we'll just be another China in the making - totally dependent on American consumers.
{{Probably the country is going to the dogs }}- the country was always with the dogs, with Afghan hounds for over 800 years, then the British Bull dogs. And then the cross breed of the two.
