So, I am FED UP of feeling bad for India. And for crying and fighting and arguing like we all GLOBAL ORPHANS.

I put on a more sentimental cap on today and compiled what gives me Indian Goosebumps!

Enjoy!!!

– The HeroMoto Cop Ad just out:

–The National Anthem playing in Cinema Theatres

( I just discovered this version by Big Cinemas)

– Soldiers Marching on Republic Day Delhi

– Seeing JET AIRWAYS planes parked on the Tarmac at Brussels Airport – makes it feel like WE OWN BRUSSELS airport

– Rakesh Sharma’s ( First Indian Astronaut’s) REPLY to Indira Gandhi on being asked ‘How does India look from Space ( he replied ‘Saare Jahaan Se Acha’) …. I remember CRYING that moment.

Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO, WPP Group says “Brand India is in much better shape than Brand US or Brand UK”Actually, I think it is Advantage India. Brand UK does not look very pretty after the riots. Brand America does not look very pretty after the Congressional vote (on the debt ceiling)… India remains the world’s fastest growing democracy.”

My goosebumps come from Brahmagupta, the first person to use Zero as a number. Everything in the modern world is directly or indirectly derived from the use of zero. If you stop to think about it what Brahmagupta did was quantify nothingness….and you can’t get any closer to the center of the story of human civilization than that… everything else is details.
