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…)
Having a list doesn’t mean I follow all the above, but I try.
