India. the world’s largest democracy, turns 59 today! =) Also, Happy Birthday to my dad who’s 10 years younger.
I’d go into all sorts of social commentary about India, but I’d probably bore the pants off everyone. Suffice to say, India seems to have, in the last 5 years, really turned a corner on things and is running along quite stably. I hope that within the next 5 real change can be seen on the ground, but I suspect it will take longer than that for the benefits to filter down.
Tomorrow is officially Janamashtami, or Krishna’s Birthday, and as I was born on Janamashtami 21 years ago, it’s sort-of my 21st (by the Indian calendar). Gotta find some way to celebrate! :D
Yay! I’d like to listen to your social commentary about India… but maybe that’s just me.
haha, ok, I’ll post something over on my alternative blog soon.
i should visit that one more often! do you mind if i put a link to it on my blog so I can find it easily?
hahah, I should post to that site more often :) sure, go ahead.
yay! i love summer & its free time…
