being Indian it is my birthright to:
call random strangers 'auntie' and 'uncle'
speak at least three languages and swear in two
clap and shout in movie halls without embarrassment
refer to Rajnikanth as God
actually understand cricket
have a cast iron digestion toughened by eating at road side dhabas
go to the hills in a state roadways bus and sit on the roof
visit any religion's holy places and feel comfortable in all
understand that be Indian,it doesn't matter what your birthplace is.It's a deeply felt emotion, an investment in the idea of India that makes you its citizen.
