to be an Indian man

Men,,,,,another species with its oxymorons in their plenty..... Indian men,,,, add another dozen of those,,,,crossing seven oceans and a zillion different ideological barriers the modern age Indian men in america,,,, no longer a species that can blame the vast cultural divide for the 'shock',,,,the so called americanisation has flooded every urban setup in the 21st century india,,, rgt from the sony to the GE ,,, from the nike to the wilson,,,, name it and ull find it in the largest consumer market in the world,,,, quarter of a billion young minds rearing to enter the horizons,,,, but are they all 'in' for what awaits them,,,, and im not talking abt the knowledge,,,, science has never been new to a education stuffed Indian youngster,,,, the product of the pipeline education system, this breed of highly 'educated' youngsters are all 'in'...from the corridors of SAP to the intracies of the DNA, they know it all,,,

wat is the one thing that still separates them from them all,,, well i say its the crowd that they all are ,,,, yes the crowd,,, the same set of ideas, emotions and beliefs,,, the attitudes, the actions, the hangouts,,,,, in short a DESI,,,,, an identity of the indian diaspora ,,,, a breed of people rgt in the middle of everywhere,,,, too open and relaxed to belong to the class of hardworkin, focused asians and at the same time closed enuf to be identified away from the rest of the western world,,,

i forever believed that its the curse of the non-resident citizens to be in the middle of nower,,,, well i stand corrected. It isnt in the middle of nower its in the middle of everywer,,,, it aint on curse nemore,,,, its a bliss,,,, the bliss of the eighties born generation,,,, we saw it all ,,,, born with the fundamentals of the babudom, grew up to understand and visualise the ironies of the peers, and rgt wen we came to the helm of it all,,,, BOOOM,,,, the economy opens up,,,,, shattered in shackles lie the myths of past era ,,,, out with it all ,,,,

we have been blessed,,,, yes blessed i say to love thy country and love the world ,,, to love rahman and appreciate the rafi era..... to love it all, to get it all ,,, yet its fast ,,,,, too fast for a few still,,,, shouldnt have been that crazy a transduction.,,,, transformation to a being that could agree to disagree,,, that could understand and assimilate to the power of a asbestos filter,,,,

in the middle of all this excitement lies the cynical mind,,,, a realist speaking it out,,,,, were r we headed isnt the question nemore, its were we stand today,,,, its all about abt that ,,,, its today that matters.... bcoz its WE THE PEOPLE that r free to head were we might,,,, its up, up and away,,,,

the indian man of the eighties born,,,,, love it all ,,,, commited yet single in its patriotism to thy country and the world,,,,, global player should i say with the DESI touch,,,,,,
