Let’s face it. As Indians, we don’t know when to stop.
This one’s about the Indian obsession for all things big, large, elaborate, huge, long, etc.
What is it with us, which makes us this way?
When we celebrate, our joy knows no bounds.
When we’re angry, we burn everything and blame the other party. And then we burn some more. If we’re really in the mood for some trouble, we rape and molest as well.
When we wed, we call everyone we know. They call everyone they know. So on and so forth…
When we reproduce, we make sure we have one of every size, shape, sex and colour.
When we land a job, we take loans – LOTS of them. We also repay occasionally.
When we ask for a bribe, we want everything. When we give a bribe, HE wants everything.
When we go shopping, it looks like we’re stocking up for World War III.
Women want to own more jewellery and footwear than any other woman in the block. Men want to lay every woman on the block.
We all say, “Mine’s bigger”. We lie a lot.
Our meals are insane. Once we start, there’s no stopping us. An average Punjabi wedding feast will serve enough food to feed the whole of Cambodia, for a decade. Hmmm, Make that two.
Our movies are a crash course in bladder control. I’ve been watching J P Dutta’s “LOC – Line of Control’ since last September and I still haven’t gotten past the credits.
We spend most of our time, trying to come up with funny lines.
We get bored and quit trying after a while.

Heard of the Americans? Heard of their SUVs? Heard of "Everything's bigger in Texas"?
And by the way, what exactly is your problem if others want all things big, large, elaborate, huge, long? If you are happy with all things small, why do you peg your feelings according to what others own? Are they asking you for money to buy their big large things?
