Haircut in India and US : A humorous take

It was my first haircut in US and I am jumping like a small baby to share my experience through a comparison between normal Indian salons vs a normal US salons (which are nothing less than a Jawed Habib).

In US 90% of the time you will be greeted by a girl and even the cutting will be also done by her.
In India it is just the opposite.

So lets look at the way things happen differently in India and US.

How customers are greeted
In US salons the way customers are greeted, you feel to come again and again.
Also you can check-in online and reserve your no.

In India sometimes you will feel that the barber has even seen you or not.
When the person who came after you gets a haircut first you have to raise your voice to make
him feel your presence.





How the cutting is done
In US there are different scales which decide the type of haircut you will get.

In India, there are only 3 styles, Barik, Medium or any Celebrity cut.






The Payment
In US you need to pay a tip even when you don't like the haircut.

In India most of the times either customer or barber won't have Rs 5 change, which will be delayed to the next time.

Open Letter to the Pride of India..!!

Hardly a month ago nobody in India would have a little clue about the state, the country is in today.
The peace and prosperity of our motherland is ruined by the Haters, Separatists, Hypocrites, Opportunists and Fakers who are also trying their best to divide the country on basis of religion, caste, reservations and patriotism.

I am really amazed to see how people can have different levels of patriotism.
If you feel proud of the Indian soldiers, Indian national flag and it’s very own identity, then you are labeled as extreme patriot. The heights and limits of all shamelessness have been crossed.

How can hoisting Indian flag even be debated, politicized and questioned?
How showing respect for those brave Indian soldiers who have lost their lives for us can be imposed on you?
How can someone breach your right to freedom of speech if you are told to respect the country and stand against the terrorists who could next time even kill you or your near and dear ones?

Reservation is a no lesser venomous snake that has bitten the talent of India severely.

Today this open letter is not to the Haters, Separatists, Hypocrites, Opportunists, Cowards and Fakers.

This letter is dedicated to those brave Indian soldiers who have selflessly served this nation, bright students who have to suffer mental and financial trauma because of reservation and responsible citizens who have raised their voice against the wrong happenings in the country.


Dear “Pride of India – Jawans”, “Intellectuals following Merit Culture” & “Responsible Fellow citizens”,
I and the entire nation are very proud to share the same identity that is of an Indian with you.

Starting with the true heroes of this country, the great Indian soldiers.
My Jawan brothers & sisters don’t feel sad, disappointed and discouraged because of some bloody India haters who dream of dividing India, hypocrites who support them, opportunists who are politicizing the situation and cowards who can’t speak a word against them.

I and the entire nation hold our heads high when we think of you.
We are privileged to share the same nationality with you.
Though we can’t think of comparing ourselves to you but I assure you that we love this country as much as you do and we feel pride and honor to hoist the national flag everywhere we can, a silk cloth for which you guys even sacrifice your lives to see it flying high.

Next I would request the great Indian minds who believe in merit culture to not feel depressed when you see the reservation snake bite India yet again and again.

Country is ashamed to see the high class people who do showoff of their money and status but when it comes to education and jobs they want to be included in the backward class…Wow what logic..!!!
Hats off to such great personalities..!!

I firmly believe that reservation would make someone get into the elite institutes of India but success and opportunities will come to those deserving who are diligent and prudent.


Finally to all those judicious fellow citizens who are not selfish and self centric but think and work for the benefit and progress of the country and other countrymen.

Guys, we are the pillars of this country and if we are standing tall and high, no bloody Hater, Separatist, Hypocrite, Opportunist, or Faker has the power to stop India from progressing and being among the top superpowers of the world.


Let’s come together for a better nation and future of coming generation.
Jai Hind..!!!  Proud to be an Indian.

Meet the Fakers,Haters and Hypocrites of India..!!

Once India was called "Land of Revolutionaries".
There was a phase when people were ready to die for the freedom of the country, but today the time has come when people are ready to curse, defame and even sell the country in the name of their own so called freedom.

Meet the Fakers, Haters and Hypocrites of India

An Angry Tax paying Indian open letter to all Anti-Nationals..!!

You curse a political party,
I don't care as it is your right of speech.

You abuse a celebrity,

I don't give a damn.

If you compare India with other developed nations,
And conclude that we still have a lot to achieve, I will concur.


Even if you are against giving death penalty to a terrorist,
I am fine with your senseless thinking.

But if abuse and defame my country or show disrespect to the martyrs, 
I will tear you apart into pieces and throw you back where you belong to.

Dear Mentally retarded, Logically dead, Anti-Indians,

I am a common man, popularly known as the mango man of India.
Normally I am quite chilled out, fun loving person. I mind my own business and happily pay tax to the Indian government. I am aware of my rights and also follow my duties.
I take care of my family and feel proud of all those Indians who are making my country proud.

But today I am quite disturbed, agitated, angry, surprised & focused.

Disturbed because some bloody bastards have been found in my country who are chanting
Anti-India slogans in a reputed Indian University as quoted below -:
1. Bharat tere tukde honge, inshallah-inshallah.
2. Afzal tere khon se inqilab aayega.
3. Afzal hum sharminda hai tere katil zinda hai
4. India go back, bharat ki barbadi tak jang rahegi.
5. Kashmir will go back to Pakistan.
6. Afzal hum tere armano ko pura karke rahenge.


Agitated & Angry because I am a responsible citizen of my country who respects it's integrity to the core and will not tolerate anyone defaming it, that too when my country is providing shelter and subsidized education to him/her.
Also I am proud of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives protecting my motherland and it's citizens.
I will condemn and even pick weapon to throw those bastards out of India who show disrespect to them and support terrorists involved in killing any Indian.





I am surprised to see reactions of political parties who are condemning the arrest of such
Anti-National, Anti-Social elements. I wonder how can parties in opposition be so irrational and anti-national that they are playing their dirty politics even in a case where their own country has been defamed and a terrorist has been portrayed as hero.
I am really really ashamed of them to the core of my heart. It is better to have a hiltor rule than such opportunists & hypocrites.

And I am focused because now this is not just limited to debates in News Channel Studios or bloody blame games played by the political parties. This is an uprise of Anti-India notions, this is an encouragement to the idea of dividing India into pieces, this is a movement, a mission led by some handful anti-nationals against each Indian to support Pakistan & it's terrorists.

So I am also focused and determined to pick a weapon if that is the only way left to throw these bastards from my country to where they belong.

Last but not the least I am also a sincere taxpayer of this country who struggles day and night to earn my livelihood and feed my family. If my hard earned money is used to nurture anti-national elements, I will no more remain a common man but will become a MAN AT WAR...


BHARAT MATA KI JAI.......JAI HIND...!!
HINDUSTAN HAMESHA ZINDABAD THA, ZINDABAD HAI AND ZINDABAD RAHEGA...

How India can become the most popular country in the world to live.

Today we are talking about Digital India. Our PM Honorable Narendra Modi is on a mission of visiting a lot of countries, meeting a number of CEOs of top MNCs to bring business and employment opportunities for Indians.
This is really commendable and welcomed with open hands.

But with all the things above there is also a need to change the Indian system in a way that makes India the most popular country in the world to live.

Here are few of my imaginary pie charts of how India should be.



A girl is brought up by her parents in the same manner as a boy by his.
After marriage its not only boy's parents who need support and feel lonely but same is the case
with girl's parents.
So in a year half of the time the boy should live with girl's family and vice versa.
If they all live together then it will be the best of the best.





I am Hindu, I am Muslim, I am blah blah blah..Is there any Indian in India ? Sadly very few...
We are Indians and that is the only religion we follow.
So there should be no restriction to marry an Indian based on caste, custom, region or color.






 Indian Universities should be ranked among the top in the world with students coming from all over the globe to study here.




To make Indian Education system robust and Indian colleges ranked among the top globally, the most stupidest thing called reservation which is currently followed should be removed and the admission should be given on below criterias.






We don't want illiterates and criminals to represent India.
For selection of Members of Legislative Assembly below should be the criterias and priorities.








The biggest problem in India is the inequality of professions.
If you are a labourer or farmer, you are looked down upon.
Dude these people are responsible for building our nation.

Power and money should be equally distributed across all professions. 
Also a country can't progress without startups and entrepreneurs bringing out a new innovation each day.






These are few points from my end. I hope there will be lot of them running across in your mind.
Mention them in the comments below and let's see how can we make them come true..

15 Reasons why Indians settled abroad don't wanna come back !!

1. In India a person is treated according to his religion
    Almost everything in India is related to what religion you belong to.
    Right from freedom of speech & expression, freedom of what you wanna wear,
    freedom of marriage to freedom of equality.




2. Laws are only for common people
   
In India laws are only made and should be followed by the common middle class people.
    Unlike in other developed or developing countries, a minister in India has the maximum rights and
    nearly negligible rules to follow, the process is same for his party members, family, friends and
    whomsoever has his number in their mobile.






3. Education is only for Reserved Category
   
In India the best pass time today for the people is to include their caste in the reserved category
    so that even having wealth in crores the can enjoy free education in elite colleges that too after
    getting failing marks ( less than 35%) in the competitive exams.
    For a general category guy getting a 98% is also less for the same seat.
    Merit has no meaning and only who has reservation is the king.





4. There is no value of Indian life
   
 Kill a Israeli soldier and they will kill 10 of yours.
     Kill a US solider and they will kill 5 of yours.
     Kill an Indian solider and the ministers will condemn it, console his family and announce
     Rs 5 lakhs compensation and tighten their own security.

     In US and other countries soldiers are given the utmost respect by every single person of the
     nation and cry on their demise. In India people cry when their favorite celebrity dies in a
     daily TV soap  or in a remake movie.

     There has been so many terrorist attacks in India which has claimed around 2k lives, ceasefire
     violations by neighbouring countries which has claimed live of many soldiers but all this is taken
     as a routine by Indian government and concerned officials of higher departments.




5. Clean India will be a reality by say, year 2100 
    In India people use the roads and public transport as their dustbin and spitting grounds.
    People are so advanced that they can convert any wall into public toilet.

    If you to any other country say US or Singapore, try doing the above activities and the police will
    make you their guest with all due respect also lightening your pocket a bit.




6. Individual ego is higher than everything else
    An Indian ego is higher than even mount everest, you hurt it once and pay the bill lifelong.
    Indians love their ego more than anything else and will die or even kill for maintaining it.
    Btw the fake status in samaj that Indians exaggerate about is actually their ego, in Hindi what we
    call "NAAK".






7. An Indian is for his religion or caste first and then for India.
    Every citizen of a country loves to be referred  by his country name but in India it is religion which
    takes the utmost priority.
    I am a Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian , Jain, Pari first and an Indian later is the awesome
    mentality followed here. Die for the religion and not for the country, disrespect the principles
    of other religions is preached by the dumb religious leaders.
    You can even provoke a person to kill a person of another community in the name of religion.





8. Inflation is  becoming intolerable
    Salary is the only stagnant commodity in Indian market, the cost of anything else always keeps on
    increasing. The prices of daily food items like fruits and vegetables are touching sky.
    Survival of a common middle class man is getting tougher each day.






9. Infrastructure developments and technology advancements are at a snail's pace 
   India is developing but at a snail's pace.
   Main funding of the government goes into the programs or projects through which they can
   increase their vote bank.
   Funding for developing infrastructure, providing basic amenities and advanced technology is only
   on papers, Do these projects meet the Deadline ???????????????????






10. Unsafe country when it comes to life and health.
      India has been ranked 143rd in the global peace index out of 162 countries.    
      The main reason is the helpless Police with big bellies and even more bigger pockets, you know
      for what.
      Crime rate in India is directly proportional to Inflation rate, both love to be high even without a
      beer.
   
      In WHO rankings also India loves to hit a century, you know the love for cricket, ranked 112 out
      of 190 countries. If we consider the infant mortality rate, may be it will be better than Africa.





11. Population Saturation
     
India ranks 2nd in the world when it comes to population but lags far behind when it comes
      to providing them even the basic amenities.
      If you talk about the commercial capital of India, Mumbai, it is really difficult to walk for even 10
      seconds without colliding into someone. The means of public transport like trains and buses are
      overloaded, literally giving you a feeling that the human beings are packed like animals in them.





12. You bluff me I will bluff someone else
      In US you go to any private or organisation like Bank, Insurance company or
      Financial institute, you will be responded at the right time, by the right person and with the
      right information unlike India where they will respond to your query after a long time and that too
      with half information.
   
      In India there will be always hidden charges for which you will be fighting for the rest of your
      life.





13. The government system is very unstable and slow
      There are many people in India who are enjoying even without having a birth certificate and they
       even don't care because the government also.
       Election ID cards are a good means of comedy with Rohan having sex as female,
       a dead person still eligible to vote and the most hilarious of all, cows and dogs pics on ID cards.
       Even if you apply for correction it take ages to get it done.
   
       Aadhar cards are just for fun, if you have one it's good otherwise no need to get it done.
   
       The system has lot of spider webs which needs to be cleaned.





14. Corruption is part of everyone's daily life
       In India a person can go to any limit to earn money and get his work done, the easiest way is to
       take bribe and vice versa.
       There is no system in our country where corruption is not prevalent, a truth also holds that you
       can resist it for sometime but in the end to survive you have to be part of the system.






15. Justice in India takes ages 
      Ministers, Dons and other people enjoying illegal power die after committing number of crimes in       India but still cases against them remain pending in courts.

      An Indian prefer to get beaten, humiliated or even lotted then too approach a court to get justice
      as he knows that he has to invest all his lifelong savings without surety of a justice, unbiased
      comes after that.
