Came across two news articles that brought back old memories
* A kid found out that he liked walking on his hands when he was about three or four years old. And now for the past decade has decided to walk on his hands as his main mode of transportation.
* There was a recent discovery of a cow with three eyes. The cow has received instant celebrity status and is now being worshiped as a holy cow. People have been queuing up to have darshan (holy audience) with the cow.
Borrowing a line from an old song - 'This happens only in India'. All sarcasm aside, I haven't felt prouder to be an Indian. A lot of us are trying to find themselves in this world.
Saw the movie 'Darjeeling Limited', where three American brothers go to India to find their spiritual selves. The movie revolves around their train journey in the desert state of rajasthan (unlike what the title suggest as Darjeeling is a snow covered hill station in the Himalayas).
The brothers traveled half way across the world to find their identity, without realizing that maybe their identities lie back home as mine is with my brothers - the hand walking, three eyed cow worshiping people. Word!

Hi son,
Holy cow! thats an interesting account! Your political ramblings are not my cup of tea,this one is.
mom.
Anoop, this as a sign that even your mom thinks you should post to your blog more often. The more often you post, the more often you might come up with something good that she'll approve of...instead of those political ramblings. :)
haha, both interesting bits of news. Anyways, time to head back to your roots and find a nice desi ladki for yourself. I'm sure your mom will love me for this hehehe :).
