What is Indian about Me?

What is Indian about Me?

When I was born, Nurse Stella took me in my arms and showed me to my mother

When I was crawling, my head was tonsured and Rafi Bhai cooked yummy Biriyani and served the same to people around me

When I turned 1 year old, my birthday cake was baked in Joseph uncle’s bakery

When I went to kindergarten, Sarswathi teacher taught me ABC

When I went to Middle school, my cricket team had -Spinner Sam, Wicket keeper Wasim, Bala the fast bowler and Uttam Singh the opener

When I went to higher secondary, Lenin the economics teacher taught me humanity

When I stepped into college, I went to Manikandan’s house for Ayyappa Swamy Pooja

When I went to PG, I enjoyed Haleem in Hassan’s house

When I entered the workplace, I enjoyed my first wine with Vincent

When I got married, my showcase was filled with Taj Mahal, lord Krishna and few 1000 rupees for my future

I know I will not be here for a long time, but I am sure my son will order for a freezer in Vincent parker & will buy garland from Selvi flower merchant.



When I die, my organs will live in few people, it can be Ali, Steve or Mani, but I will live as human and die as human, that’s Indian about me

Religion is a private affair; humanity is a public responsibility
