· It happens only in India

Things which are very popular in our country:

(Not all of the things mentioned below are original, some of them belong to the endless forwards I get either through mail or SMS)

1) Elders naming siblings (esp. twins) with rhyming names or names that start from the same letter.
2) Packing enough food to last for a week even if the train/bus journey is for only few hours.
3) In a span of few hours, we are very capable of extracting all the details about a co-passenger ranging from how many kids she/he has, where and for what reason is she/he traveling to why her/his cousin is not yet married and who passed away recently in her/his family. Embarrassment is definitely not a word in our dictionary.
4) Our own unusual way of repairing electronic equipments and machines like remote control, television etc if they stop working – pound, whack and smack them.
5) Cricket and Bollywood obsession- where else in the world are puja’s conducted in the name of Amitabh Bacchan and Sourav Dada??
6) Bisi bisi coffee in south India, hot rasogullas in Bengal and Pani Puri in the north-in short, the variety of food.Yumm!!
7) Arranged marriages.
8) Rate at which gossip travels.
9) Unwritten law that states a girl should be married, latest, by the age of 26. Otherwise you become a burden for your parents, even if you are working and are independent.


10) If you are not an engineer, lawyer or a doctor, you’ve no brains. You must not be surprised if all your relatives sympathize with you for your not-so-bright future.
11) If a guy is settled in “foreign”, he’s considered to be a lucky catch
12) When we have enough problems, being a developing country, like poverty, unemployment and pollution, our politicians will yet concentrate on things like the lyrics of national song and changing names of places from Bangalore to Bengalooru, Mysore to Mysooru.
13) Ticket less traveling.
14) Sardarjee jokes (They never grow old, do they??).
15) If you take up a part time job, it mostly means your family has financial problems. All the reasons like I was bored, I wanted experience or I want to treat my boy/girl friend, so I can’t obviously ask money in my house are excuses. The society, being very deducing, can see through all of them.
16) Parents celebrating marriage anniversary by going to the temple.
17) Male-chauvinist females. Thank you Ekta Kapoor, for all the entertainment you’ve provided us while showing the husband busy having affairs while the dutiful wife is waiting for him to come back, having total faith in her extravagantly-displayed mangalsutra.
18) Elders still believing that getting first class (above 60%) means you are very clever.
19) You need your own room??? For what??
20) Bribe.
21) IST – Indian standard time.
