move over globalization..hello indianization!

have you ever wondered where the world is going these days? with the advent of communication and faster transport facilities world is fast becoming one big family, not necessarily happy one at that. and they attribute everything to globalization. well i beg to differ.

i live in India, the next big thing according to every magazine. being Indian has its own quirks. we tend to turn everything to our style. its doesn't matter whether we talk about language, cuisine or even festivals. English is a funny language they say, which can be moulded into anything. best example: hinglish. (which by the way is a real word defined in oxford dictionary as mixture of Hindi and English) its so not uncommon these days to listen something like, "i toh don't like how he talks" or perhaps u mush have heard, "woh potato kitne ka diya?" or maybe lets list songs like, "what is mobile no? what is your style no? karni hai private bate, dede koi easy no.."
enough said.

or maybe take a trip to any indian restaurants, i'll bet anything that u'd find something like paneer pasanda pizza, aloo tikki burger or even lasuni tortilla (!)

you should visit india during western holidays and u'd see the Indian twist in an instant. diyas, and poojas during Christmas, and thats just a start!

go to some country where there is sizable Indian population, you'll see the difference from the locals. we believe making home where ever we go.

so u know..sometimes i think its not globalization thats been on..its indianization..

long live India!
