It happens only in India...

introduction by the author

India.. the land of over a billion people!
a place where over 1/6th of humanity on the planet resides!
a country which is the largest democracy on earth!

a nation that won independance 57 years ago;
the state that now aspires to be the leader of the world...
leader in terms of freedom, conduct, and the quality of life.

It happens only in India...

1. People find a "smile" the most-difficult-thing-to-do

2. A school backpack weighs heavier than the kid herself

3. Girlz win Miss Universe, Miss World, Miss Asia-Pacific, and more yet boyz still crave for the blondes, brunettes, redheads, etcetra.

4. Private supplementary tuitions enrol more students than the school itself

5. The word "woman" is synonymous with a housewife

6. PSC aka. Politics, Sex, and Cricket are on our minds 24/7; yet each remain in the same sorry state as ever

7. Mediocre actors-n-politicians earn more than even top-class sportsmen

8. Emotions-n-religion hold the key to success in public life; never mind the brains

9. Places of tourist attraction attract only the cattle and the dogs

10. We, the citizens, take birth criticizing India and end-up dying the same way.

All the while forgetting the good things that only our country offers in the whole world; like sumptuous varieties of delicious food, rich n colorful festivals, natural beauty coupled with comforting weather, and more.

Let's change for good.

God Bless India.

I didn't like it.. it shows India in a poor taste than it really is.

You have a long way to go. Though your language is okay, I found the content quite bland and bereft of wit or insight. And you use too many exclamation marks - a sign that you're more excited writing it than your reader is reading it. All the best anyway.
