What causes this ? The Indian money-minded mentality
Marriage alliances are not based on Love or understanding between the couple . The guys parents select the girl whose father is a rich man , is willing to give tonnes of gold in dowry and a car and a house and every god damned thing a guy is supposed to earn in his life for free .The girl must be preferably a single child so that her father would give up everything including his underwear for his son-in-law.
Even the girls are not Heavenly Angels either. They live off their boyfriends in college days ,eating at his expense , getting expensive gifts and changing boyfriends after burning through his pockets like napalm on paper . They then marry off a guy working in America or Europe , cause you know , there is more money to burn when you convert Dollars to Rupees .
The Indian Lust of Gold : Nobody loves golds better than Indians . Thats why you see women on advertisements wearing tonnes of gold jewelry costing lakhs . Who said India is a poor country ? Rob any one of these middle class aunties and you will have enough gold to live off happily for the next 20 years.Wherever you go you see models dressed with more gold than fabric . Akshaya Tritiya : The south Indian or whole Indian not sure festival where every goddamned husband / man / bachelor is screwed over by women for buying gold on that auspicious day .
what do you think God is you loggerheads ?? A goldmine you own ? to shower gold on you perpetually ?? Ever heard the story of Midas and his golden touch ?? remember what happened to him ?
The sky aint the Limit : I will eat until i fill the belly of the guy next to me :No one is sufficient with having enough . A taste of developed technology and comfort of the developed countries has left a deep desire in the Indian mind to enjoy them even at the expense of his fellow country men . The Karunanidhi family had enough money to buy Africa entirely lock , stock and barrel . yet they chose to rob the country of a chance to earn Billions through the auction of the 2g spectrum . And the Congress policy ? Bribe and let bribe . Rob the country blind and give me half . i will protect your ass irrespective of any atrocity and will even award you a Bharat Ratna for your historical exploits of the most pathetic nation-state.
Cowardice : face it . head to head we are not even cockroach crap against giants like China or US or Germany . Our actual incomes lies in the hands of guys and girls who sit in front of terminal with headphones in a placed called Bangalore . We cant fight of a single guy who has come from Pakistan to kill as many of us . We got our butts kicked by the Chinese when they did not even have a proper army or economy to feed themselves . We are the laughing stock the entire UN .
what do we do to hide the frustration ? Build better stuff and turn into a superpower ?? Nah. thats for hardworking people like the Japanese. We beat our fellow brethern , assault our sisters ,kill unborn kids , tear through the very social fabric of the country we live in for the name of Religion .
Ego : No way we would learn from smaller countries to manage poverty . I wont listen to the Americans either for my "CULTURE IS SUPERIOR TO THEM " .
ignore the interests of my citizens . Who gives a shit about the farmer that tolls his life producing food for me that i eat in excess and go to a Gym that charges through the roof to get me back in shape. I am no philanthropist to think about the welfare of my own brothers , let alone my countrymen .
Status in the society : The richer I am , the more I am respected. Though all i own is a BMW 525 d i still show off like i own the goddamned roads of the world . in front of illiterate farmers and clerks my BMW will look like the Chariot of God .
ever wondered why there are too many clerks and MBA aspirants in India ?? We love money so much that we would even give up our brains and reasoning ability just to touch money all day and fondle it and cuddle it like a new born baby .
Ultimately its money that drives an Indian . Teach a man to fish and he will never have to beg for the rest of his life . Show an Indian a currency note and he will produce them in tonnes for the rest of his life .
wow is all i can say. you can't say it better than this piece.
