We...the people of India

We are the careless people of india,

We can’t take care, nana nah!!!

Loosing children at fairs,

Tripping down the stairs,

Giving away secret information,

Arriving late at the train - station,

We think after we act,

And that is a hard fact.

We are the brave people of india,
You can’t scare us my dear!!!
Crossing the closed railway track,
Pulling out things from topmost rack,
Walking on road, not footpath,
In winters, taking cold water bath
To any extreme we can go,
May the hot and cold blow

We are the talkative people of india,
Maintain silence? No way yaar!!!
Useless bargaining with veggie vendor,
Pointless banter with opposite gender
Predicting the outcome of a cricket game
Discussing daily soaps with energy same
We can go to any extent,
To avoid remaining silent.

We are the shameless people of India,

Chattering away blah blah blah….

Asking for extra sauce at KFC,

Mixing Chat masala in pepsi,

Not paying  parking fees,

Peeing behind the  trees,

We are one of our kind,

However we are, never mind,

We are the lazy people of India,
We’re never active, it’d appear,
Getting home delivery of meals,
Covering walking distance on wheels,
Outsourcing of sales,
Auto-reply of emails,
Rather than work, we’d take a nap
We’re in laziness’s vicious trap.

We’re the outspoken people of india,
No one can outspeak us ever…
Shouting slogans at political rally,
Winning world wars, just verbally,
Always getting our point across,
Showing others who’s the boss,
Our praise we ourselves sing,
In the shouting field, we are king.

We’re the corrupt people of India,
The vigilance commission we never fear
Scamming people and making money,
Mixing water and adulterating honey,
Building bridges that collapse a day later,
Using public money to make our wallets fatter
Every devious trick is up our sleeve,
That’s a fact you better believe

We are the religious people of India,
Actually god’s the only one we fear.
Keeping a fast, 8 days a week,
Everywhere divine intervention we seek,
Stomaching stale Prasad in god’s name
To get work done, it’s god’s wish we proclaim
Here even gods in court cases do fight
But also god’s name can get people to unite.

We are the couch potatoes of India,
When we watch TV, you better steer clear
Kalmadi gets arrested on NDTV,
What happened to Anandi?? Cries your biwi
You switch to ESPN to catch the score
But Cartoon is one which least does bore.
We are crazy television freaks,
We can keep watching on for weeks.

We are the foodies of India,
From food we get pleasure sheer.
Scrounging bread at ‘paranthagali’
Taking morsels the size of Great Khali
College girls who eat ‘oil-less’ fries
Devouring unhygienic food despite mom’s cries
Just eat pray and live…
Is the mantra that we believe

Tourism in India

The enormous diversity in flora, fauna, topography, climate, religions, dialects, lifestyle that you may find in India is truly unique to this place. It is this biological, social and physical diversity that attracts millions of tourists to flock to India, year after year. Tourism is an industry running well into thousands of crores. And it also fills the stomachs of millions of Indians.

Yet after looking at these mindboggling figures, one still wonders why can't India bring in as much tourist as compared to other South Asian countries, much smaller than India. Areas of Indochina or Southeast Asia attract 3-4 times more tourists.

The tourist flow is ever increasing but still far lower than expectation. In such circumstances people won't believe if they are told that India has the maximum number of world Heritage sites. It is this decorating situation that has recently made the government take notice of this issue.

To promote tourism and make it a booming business the government just a few days ago launched an aggressive marketing campaign under the tagline- Incredible India. It is working to draw more tourists and also projecting India as a better tourist destination. But changes at the grassroots level is necessary. Indian culture boasts of good hospitality and yet it is the inhospitable environment faced by tourists that drive them away.

What we actually need to do was to make all the services as hasslefree as possible for the tourists. We must ensure that not a single incident of harassment faced by tourists take place. Most importantly we have to educate all the people relate to the tourism industry one simple equation - more the number of tourists the more will they earn, so they should better co-operate.
