My first blog

Been wanting to start blogging for quite some time.... just that I did not quite figure out what to blog about. So sitting at home on a particularly sunny sunday morn, I set out to blog .... abt what .. have the faintest of idea even as I type. One thing I can assure any unfortunate soul who is reading this is the truth factor. What you see here is what I really feel and think and that imho is something in itself, given the importance given to "correctness" these days.

As to myself .... I am from India and I guess that should do for now.

Moving on to my first blog .... abt what ? India ....

She is corrupt.
She has notions of moral superiority, which are thoroughly misplaced.
Her citizens have divided themselves on the basis of caste and creed and are particularly proud of it.
Her standards of hygiene are horrendous.
Her media/citizens are somehow happier focussing on the sexcapades of an ageing has been film star, rather than pressing issues such as farmer suicides.
Her citizens have no qualms to electing criminals to the legislature.

Yet

She is all set to dominate the world economically along with her neighbor for the better part of this century and possibly the next too. How ... that my dear is India. For all her problems.. warts and all ... she is a survivor. She has seen even worse and has come out unscathed. The future belongs to Asia and India.
