India and It's non existent Culture

Series 1 Team India lost in league stage

Reaction all over india, statewise what I have seen in News channels is bad to worse, early media hype about the could be cup winning team and later the same media burying the game (I dont think they are concerned about players)with the footages of people in roads burning and stoning the posters of heroes who were worshipped like god till a few days back.

A bit shocked about the people reaction and media attention, may be the effect of our so called .... hmmm culture.

Indian Rave party

We found them all on the front pages of newspapers this week. One, cop Patil from Pune’s rural police, had busted a party on private premises the night before Holi. He took along news reporters to shoot images of the said raid: “Nashakhoron par chhapa”. I hope the police hand-picked the international drug-traffickers, other serious social deviants at the place. Most others were probably at the suburban bash, instead of drinking at a local pub the weekend after college or work. They’ve spent days in the infamous Yerawada jail since: They were all destructive drug addicts, it seems; some apparently prostitutes (the way you view women or men is also a judgment on your eyes).

You mix the grey with black, as in this case, you either push a minor sub-culture to a notorious under-belly, or give it all the semblance of rebellious “cool” when none exist. Over 1 out of 3 viewers polled on NDTV India, I noticed, saw the incident as a valiant attempt by the police to preserve our culture.

The same Holi, there was a nation-wide rave organised in the name of a religious festival. The streets sold cannabis. Everyone drank them mixed with sweet milk. The traffic moved sleepily, people danced and grinned with their shirts off. Nobody was arrested. But I guess, that was our culture. So it’s all right.

A bit tired so Just used Mayank-MM article to express my Views

Bangkok Trip 2

As usual I landed in Bangkok in Soi 11, Ambassador- Pain in the Ass always hotel (What to do unfortunately it's in the middle of the happening place), There a thought about Bangkok and Thailand, what is the name meant for? later I understood It as Thai (Thigh)- Land and Bang- cok.

There is a strange similarity between Thai and Indian names, few of the names start with Rama, People are named aishwarya, kanchana, etc...

Bangkok is full of Indian tourists with there full family in toes, may be due to it's a cheap place, but if we really observe whites from Europe and other countries they are mosstly singles, aged atleast 50, having a Thai girl company on fulltime, utilising the full advantage of the free Thai spirit.

I just thought about culture and people, simple, what is the value system followed in India not having any relevance or importance in Thaialnd, what is there customs will make my papa frown at it in the first glance itself.

But I enjoyed Thai cuisine,Sea foods particularly Shrimps, squids and so many unknown but tastier sausages. People are really innocent compared to indian standard, enjoying the life playfully and a bit lazily, most of the women are working, gender difference is few.

After spending too much of my life in over crowded Mumbai-Dombivili and Chennai- Vadapalani, Outside bangkok city towards pattaya road entire four hour stretch the places and roads are looking like heavens as there is not much people and pollution.

People are leading a simple life, doing the daily chores (Job) in the morning and in the evening It starts with a cup of beer and friends in the road corner departmental stores, here also again I have to mention the gender equality, every where I found fairer sex indulged in smoking and drinking nonchalantly with the occational roars, totally friendlier in nature, I started shooting photos, they were ready to pose to a stranger, just surprising.

We do boast about Indian culture, now I am trying to work it out what is this?
