Things That Indians Do Just Because Everyone Else Is Doing It

1.When your Neighbour buys a car and you go red in jealousy. Next step… 2. When you hear someone speaking English and you completely forget your linguistic and social characteristics of being Indian.  3.  The idea of copying Bollywood style without even a second thought 4. When your co-employee buys a new phone and you start saving the money right from that moment to buy a new, more superior one 5.  The competition between the two families about whose daughter will have the biggest and the fattest of the wedding 6. Here every parent wants their child to be an Engineer 7.  And before that send your kids for IIT coaching because everyone is doing so 8. Posting about Football and Rugby on your Facebook Wall, whether or not the game makes any sense to you 9. Clicking selfies, especially the kind with a holding DSLR 

Why Antakshari is the Best Indian Game Ever

  It can transform the wallflower into a star Even the besur can become a singer Makes the long journey short – हँसते हँसते काट जाये रस्ते (in a different way than this of course) Being good at antakshari instantly makes you cool What would we do on a picnic without Antakshari? …And how would the boys patao the girls? It’s a message for the ‘ अनजान ’ ‘ उपरवाला ’ Uncle, aunty, are hugely impressed by your rendition of that bhajan! (you must be such a GOOD BOY!) It’s an excuse to shake a leg And no one minds if you don’t look that pretty doing it Belting out songs starting from obscure letters – as magical as pulling a rabbit out of your hat (or a Kabootar or two) If your ‘Antakshari Knowledge’ is good, everyone wants you on their team You can sing a song from ‘Dh’? You genius You! 14.It’s a way to score over the mother in law Antakshari is a way to confess your love –your दिल की बात The variations are endless: Rain Songs,  Songs about ‘ ज़ुल्फें ’
