Let me quote the Words of this Article for those who have not read this section today.
<< BIZZARE. OVERLOADED. TECHNICOLOR. CHAOTIC, GOLMAAL. JUGAAD. CHALTA HAI
You’d run out of words long before you’d run out of an India that all those words describe. & in not just one language, but many. Including SMS.
India is not a contradiction in terms. It sets the terms for all contradiction. It’s the world’s biggest & most energetic democracy, where people chuck out governments as frequently as they chuck out their garbage. (Cattie’s Comment – Now guys, does this really mean, ‘WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA are that Powerful ?).
It’s a byword for immense wealth & terrible poverty, a realm of billionaires & beggars, the Maha Kumbh mela & mega malls, tantrics & Twitter. (Cattie’s Comments – Hey, they did not mention ‘Our Fantastic Mouthshut.Com. ).
Have you ever see a large ‘Commit No Nuisance’ sign & a line of men standing under it ad peeing? (Cattie’s Comment – But I thought that they pee ‘Everywhere’ !!) A state-of-heart expressway with cows roaming across it ?
A train with more people sitting on the roofs of the coaches than passengers inside ? (Cattie’s Comments – This is direct poke at our Mumbai Trains !!)A booze shop advertising ‘Chilled Beer Served Here’ ?.
