Today morning, I was watching the local news and there was a bizarre report of babies being dropped down from a rooftop and caught on a bedspread! For me it didnt take much time to realise it can only be from our extremely colourful country that we can get such reports, but why on earth, rather HOW ON EARTH could these guys get this report? why cant they get this thing........6 Indians in Forbes list of 500 highest-paid CEOs, which is headlines in an Indian news site.
As for good times, the last interesting bit of India I got to see on our local news was when TATA took over Jaguar!that was something to celebrate, especially when shown on local news...I managed to get Balu out of the shower in 10 mins (a record) when I told him TATA was next on line in news!
I sometimes wonder what image do people have of India? people find it surprising when I say my medium of education was English, and that is the case for majority of my peers.
Is it odd that 2+ centuries of British rule brought such a drastic change in our culture and moreover, has it benefited us?
What are the odds that India would have reached the same level of sucess w/o the Queen's influence? It has been recorded historically that we invented the '0', and we've had many scholars in diverse fields ; technology to medicine.
So maybe we would have been sucessful afterall, minus this language.
May be we would have fought over the choice of language that would have to be the common medium then!
Maybe I stop thinking aloud now and end this crap.
Maybe no one reads my blog so it really doesnt matter!
Maybe I can manipulate Balu to get me an icecream again tonight!

You talk about the local news there,lemme tell you what happens here,how much of it we get here? Almost negligeble.When Obama won elections,all the journals and channels showed off things about him for weeks.His history,how he came up and all.Which is not a bad thing but how much do they encourage our ppl here?
How many times have they shown/printed stuffs about APJ.Does somebody know Prathibha Patil is our current president and what about her?
We still cling to other people to run even our businesses.How bad is that ?
how true...necessary as it is to have a global exposure, it does get a little too much importance than local news sometimes!
