taking it from the last post, this week is about three states- Gujrat, Bihar and Bengal.
Starting from
Gujrat
Gujrat is like india's sea facing balcony.This state is one of the highly industrialized state of india. It's the birth place of Gandhi and also the witness of Godhra Massacre.
Looks: Gujjus have the normal asian brownish complexion. You can easily indentify a gujju by his/her dialect.This is also the community where men dress up more than women. Women are good to look at but talk a lot about SRK, Indian Idol and Kichdhi...So if you are not an expert in any of these topics than you are at loss. Gujju men are the only reason that Arrow shirt created floral print formal shirts.
Life: Gujjus like gold or anything which glitters. The shine and glitter should be directly proportional to the cost. Navratri should be renamed as "Dandiya Festival". Infact gujju bhai says that dandiya should be used in every occassion, even on 15 august.
Food: The food is not food if it doesnot have both khatta and mitha flavours. Namkeens should be eaten six times in a day and pickle should be sweet.
Motto: Eh jignesh bhai..business khol lete hai, kya?
Bihar
Sadly this state is a tragic story. Widespread corruption, poverty and lack of education are the only achievements of this state. It was once the centre of power, education and culture. India's first empire- the Maurya empire and worlds most peaceful religion- the Buddhism arise from this place. It was the land of Nalanda- world's first true "global University". Now it is the state of extreme violence, illiteracy, corruption and zero economic growth. It's a tragedy!!!
Looks: There's nothing special in bihari men and women. All just too plain and simple. For reference you can look to Lalu prasad yadav and Rabri devi.
Life: What life! they don't have any life. Bihar has highest youth population than any other state and every youth wants to join goverment job- in railways or in police. They want to carry on the legacy of corruption. They are hard labourers, they can work really hard ...but for what...for corruption. Again a tragedy! You can rarely see a bhaiya in the cities of the South, or at least they are not common. But Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi and other cities cannot function without the lowly bhaiya doing every dirty job at a dirty salary with a broad, toothy laugh packed with a shot of khaini (tobacco).The first few bhaiyas whom I came to know were milkmen, municipal sweepers, tram conductors and the hand-operated rickshaw pullers in Kolkata, who were (and still are) never thought to belong to the human species by the intellectuals crowding Kolkata.
Food: Nothing comes close to litti and choka. And i have tasted both..thank god..actually!!
Motto: Forget motto...instead read this
"A Schoolmaster from a remote rural area in Bihar was transferred to a new School in Mumbai.
He reported for duty two days before August 15 and, as was the practice in the school, was asked to address the school assembly on Independence Day.
Here's his dynamite speech :
Leddies and Gentulmens, Contemporaries, Children, "This is my first maiden speech. If small mistakes get inside my speech, I ask pardon.
Stickly speaking, I wanted to joint your school more fastly, but for the following reason. Too much time lost in getting slipper reservation in three-tyre compartment. The clerk rejected to give ticket. I put complaint on stationmaster. He said me to go to lady clerk. At first she also rejected. I then pressed her for long time and at last with great difficulty she gave a birth only to my son. Anyway I thanked the stationmaster because he was responsible for getting birth of my son.
We got independent because of great leadersz linke Gundhiji who get-outted all angrezi peoples from India. Tilak said Swaraj is our birth rate and we shall halve it.
Today we all have our birth-rate.You children are future dynamic generators of the Nation. Look into future time only. No backside looking, or looking at your behind.
Be like great like X' raj Ranjan of Germany or Presidents like Loosebelt, Dim Butter, Lipton etc. You know genius, no? It is one per cent perspiration and ninety seven percent evaporation.
They became great by reading great books. After we finish you off here in the school, you can go to college and get B.A., M.A., M.A.M.A and other decrease.
Then you can become great liars in the supreme courts, shattered accountants, or lecherers in college.
The school is like a garden. You are the seeds, classroom is the soil. We will bury you in this soil, pour water of knowledge on your heads and one-day you all will become great phools.
Many vacancy job come in papers. Only yesterday I saw in paper "Wanted for refuted engineering firm: - Generators, highpower condensors" so and so forth, etc. These jobs may be teknickel, but you can shine.
If you have flare in English, you can become teacher.
I am now ending this fastly.
My God blast you!
Thank you and thank God!"
And finally
Bengal
Uh .....the original intellectuals of india. They generally win Oscar, nobel, booker and other pristigious prizes for india. They love to argue and you just cannot win with them in any argument. They have opinion about everything under the sun and also above the sun. These people love food, traditional music n dance and soccer.
Look: Girls are pretty, boys are not. I think bong girls are sensuous and mostly traditional. But beware, they are very hard to impress and once you get hooked with a bong girl ..she won't let you escape that easily.Starting from Suchitra Sen to Sushmita Sen bong girls redefine beauty.
Life: Bengali life is all about football,macher-jhol, rossogolla and music. If the kid doesnot grow up to be a professor or economist or music director or an author than he is a failure. Children learn to write poetry in 2nd standard and parents keep reminding them that they belong to the land of Rabindranath Tagore and Saratchandra Chatterji.
Food: The bengali fondness for food is legendary. Bengali food is the extreme of sweet and spicy. To a casual palate bengali food means rice and fish.Ofcourse it's much more than that. Sweet holds a position of pride in bengal.
Motto: Joi Bangla..Joi Sourav Dada
