The Golden Bird


INDIA - 

one of the most beautiful places in the world. 

Photobucket

and one of the dirtiest in the pool..

Photobucket

where hungry stomachs know the joy!

Photobucket

but there are hungry girls and hungry boys...

Photobucket

where love reigned since time immemorial..

Photobucket

yet terror casts some nasty spells..

Photobucket

where music is worshipped, its in our roots..

Photobucket

still no dearth of a few copycats or two..

Photobucket

where divine and divinity daily meet

Photobucket

but somehow disgrace God with our feet...

Photobucket

oh watch those movies that inspire..

Photobucket

and there are a few that make you perspire..

Photobucket

the land of Cricket and World Cup wins..

Photobucket

of Master Blaster, Prince and Jumbo spins..

Photobucket

where people are traditionally traditional.

Photobucket

and know how to co-exist in the modern world..

Photobucket

where traffic congestion is a modern art..

Photobucket

but there is lot of space in the Indian heart!

Photobucket


Love it or hate it dude,
This land truly rules!!

  6. Lovely post ..........India is truly a contradiction at every corner...or perhaps "opposite values are complementary" ! :) I doubt *anyone* - even someone who has beebn born and raised in India can truly claim to understand it completely. Its a country where people in the same city live in different centuries.....

    you are absolutely right. These contrasts and contradictions make this such a unique place...the spirit of the ppl, the arrogance, the kind heartedness, the stubbornness, the intelligence, the stupidity becomes all so evident when I look at myself..I am an Indian.. :-)
