In Top 'Gere'!

When we get a chance to criticize, we Indians express ourselves very strongly!

I have been thinking about the recent controversies and hence the conclusion!

We were shocked when we were thrown out of the world cup in the first round. This shock was expressed in large volumes for days together. I am sure some of the electronic media is still discussing it!

Then came Madira’s saree with Indian flag; another uproar!

Then was Sachin’s cutting of ‘Tiranga’ shaped cake! We were furious!

And finally was the Richard Gere- Shilpa Shetty controversy! We proved that we may get over with a world cup defeat but not with a kiss in public (that too involving a foreigner)!

As Indians, we have a right to have objections to all of the above. I am not arguing that!

What I find difficult to understand is the magnitude of our anger towards these events!

My problem with my countrymen is that we always raise our voice when all we need to do is raise an eyebrow!
