Wats GoIN on?? WheRE r V heaDin??

I was browsing through different user profiles (jus like a normal orkut user does), a series of similiarity crept amongst them. Often i would find testimonials written wid immaculate english and brilliant words portrayin the person as nothin less dan god. Its was surprising to find a larger no. of profiles with elvis n beatles and without hariharan and jagjit singh. Shakiras n beyonces were seen in every profile, could never c lata mangeshkar or asha bhosle. I could never find shri shri ravishankar or hariprasad chaurasiya but definitely found a linkin park or korn within the profiles.

I wondered as to where, as indians, are we leadin? Reading a munshi premchand is down market, a sidney sheldon is a gr8 choice. The sweet sound of the harmonium has been now limited to beggars in the local trains, while the young man of 2de loves the guitar. We are not sure abt the no. of spokes the ashok chakra contains but are pretty sure abt the no. of stars in the american flag. War of troy seems to b more interestin than d mahabharata and ramayana. We know everythin abt alexander bt still get confused amongst samudragupta and chandragupta. Classical dance and music is a strict no-no but hardcore rock and latino salsa is jus fine.

I question as to why we feel ashamed to know our culture? Why is it mediocre being an indian and superior being a westerner? Indian culture is somehow not visible amongst us. A western influence is never bad, but the wholesome acceptance is. All the gr8 literature, history, science, et al of india are left completely unknown and untouched.Hope the indians could understand the gr8ness of their culture and experience the ecstasy encapsulated in it..
