tashan !!!


was in ludhiana last week.. it was a riot.. in punjab I guess there truly is no dull moment. I saw three youngsters driving a huge tractor in the middle of a main road, delaying the other cars, carrying a single barrel gun and savoring every moment of their drive in their kingdom of vanity. I asked the driver why no one was telling them to budge.. the driver proudly replied.. its the tashan.. I guess it happens only down here and ya what the heck why not. Am sure they had fun.. what if 20 cars got delayed to their destination.. and seeing them enjoy I felt like taking a pic but chickened out .. dunno what tashan they have towards visitors clicking pics !!

I guess its not just punjab.. its the whole of india, there seems to be something thrilling and so radically different happening in every corner and if you are a spectator, you sure are gonna have a roller coaster time going from one state to another which will either touch your stomach with mouthwatering cuisine, your sense of style with every state having a unique type of sari or kurta .. touch you eyes with natural beauty .. and steal you soul... making you want to give into these places for the time you are there atleast ..

Loved the tourism ministry advt on “atithi devo bhavo” guess its for the common wealth games in delhi. Sure it does strike a chord and sure it has a real strong brand ambassador but its very easy to preach than followed.. In a country where disparity is glaring naked on the eyes, sentimental advertisement wont help much as many towns dont still have the electricity to run a fan forget watch television. wish government put in money, brain and time on removing the disparity than putting the same down the drain with high celebrity power campaign..
