Also I'm not a big fan of the 2 nation theory.. i'm not saying it doesn't exist but I think the 2nd india; new country ain't a country yet.. a huge number dwarfed by the real nation.. the country that we hear of - in the media only mind you, coz thats what forms all (ok, almost all) our opinions (and our media is shit) - is no country at all. so you will say you exist within the boundaries so you must be india too. well, think again. ok a confession.. i’m no patriot.. as per me, it is a vacuous emotion.. condemn me if you like.. but it does give me perspective..

India and her vulgarity, the infinite contradictions. I loathe this country, yet I can't live without her. Not because I don't have a passport, but maybe somewhere within I am a bit of a pervert and I love her, my mother. Bharat mata ki jai!
