India Shining

I have never understood what really development is, so many tried to explain to me the situation when a country is developed. They showed me the towering skyscapers, 12,000 mark cross by the sensex, billion of dollars profit being made by the Indian IT fraternity, the acquisition of Jaguar by Tata, Ambanis in the top 10 rich earthlings and many other golden feathers. More industries, more cars, inflation, MTV, V channel, crackpot MBA English speaking people called 'junta'. For years when the junctions of the promoinant road in a prominent city used lock down in heavy jams, it had to be IT industrialists who were able to tickle the vital points of beauraucracy and democracy and soon highways were elevated, not for ordinary people, but for the extra ordinary people who are skilled( and known to have provided the technology services to items ranging from F1 cars and AirBus wings to Playboy magazines's inventory management) to reach office in time. Even though talking in regional languages are rude, you can still tell Kick ass, shit, f****, etc and gain quick admiration isnt it? I told my mom translated into Malayalam that when I wake up first thing I watch is Kick ass morning(I was warned by the ethics of bloggery from writing even the transliteration of the malayalam word for that!!) funny little developments….isnt it? All these have made my country one of the overrated countries, not outside India but very well within.
