We Are Indians…
What that means
We are Indians… We can find “jugaad” (a hack) for anything — from fixing a leaking pipe to convincing our parents to let us stay out late.
We are Indians…. The word “free” is a trigger that can release dopamine, happomine, joyofine and all other chemicals that can induce happiness.
We are Indians…. We are so obsessed with English language, even the dumbest thing said in English sounds smart to us.
We are Indians…. We can spend 2 hours planning how to save 2 rupees.
We are Indians…. We show patriotism only during cricket matches, and Independence Day.
We are Indians…. We can work our asses off day and night. Just show us the money, honey!
We are Indians…. Some of us eat so spicy, our shit can trigger a bush fire.
We are Indians…. We carry snacks for a 2-hour journey like we’re migrating to another planet.
We are Indians…. We consider negotiation as our birth right. We’ll negotiate until the vendor feels guilty about making a profit.
We are Indians….We keep ranting “Mera Bharat Mahan” (My India is Great) but secretly dream of our kids settling in the US with a green card and a Tesla.
We are Indians…. We may have our quirks and contradictions, but our hearts are as big as our weddings. No matter where we go, we carry our culture, love, and masalas (spices) with us!
