So the other we celebrated the 60th anniversary of our independence (August 15th). I am glad to see even the rich and upper middle class people are now proud to be Indian etc. They even show a TV ad in which the guy refuses a foreign companies offer, goes around driving a bike, etc... pretty cool.

So anyway, I myself am not upto the mark on the patriotic meter, at least not by our Indian Nazi standards, but I do have a small list of patriotic-to-do-list which I try to-do from time to time. So no wanting to keep away from the prevailing hurrah of our 60th independence anniversary I hear by share my list:

• - Be nice
• - Be honest
• - Be on time (I wish...)
• - Save electricity
• - Save oil
• - Save water
• - Save food
• - Vote
• - Use Right to Information (RTI 2005)
• - Follow traffic rules
• - Don’t pay beggars
• - Deliver value for money
• - Avoid littering public places
• - Not be a Nazi (Hindu/Muslim/certainly not Christian/etc/etc/whatever/etc...)
