1. If you are a 24 yr female or a 29 yr male and unmarried, then you must have
had a failed love affair or there is a fault in your stars. Any other (genuine)
reasons are plainly unacceptable.
2. If you aren't an Engineer/Doctor, you must have been weak in studies because
apparently science is the smart people's choice and economics/arts are left-over
choices for the academically dumb people.
3. No matter how a guy/girl looks, their parents are always looking for 'Fair &
Lovely' bride or 'Fair & Handsome' groom. After-all, life's about being fair here.
4. A person who is dressed well in a western attire and speaks good English is the
smartest.
5. Our politicians are so corrupt. Our system is even more corrupt. But we are
not. Wenever contribute to corruption.
6. There are North-Indians and South-Indians and then there are the rest who are
not Indians because they look like neither North nor South Indian. Unity in
Diversity.
7. All of us strictly follow the yellow traffic signal light. Zebra crossing is designed
forvehicles to stand first for chasing the red/green lights. One has to look both
ways to cross a one-way street. Footpaths are meant for adventure lovers in the
city to experience off-roading.
8. We love the aroma of plastic. We never want to take the plastic covers off any
new commodity even if the commodity is not new any more! That's a healthy
obsession.
9. Every time you go abroad, you are expected to return with a whole lot of goodies
for everybody you have known or not known - that distant aunt of yours you
met when you were 4 yr old. She wants a perfume!
10. Black Cat, Lizard, Snake - These animals decide our fate sometimes: 'A black cat
crossing your path' or 'Lizard falling on your left shoulder' or 'Killing a snake'.
Edit: Please note all of the above points are written on a sarcastic note. Refrain from
commenting that I don't agree with Point #X. I don't agree with either of the above points
either and that's why they are listed here, right?

A few of them :
Homosexuals are punished here while rapists roam around free.
Demanding equality and supporting reservation. The only country where

people wish to be a part of the backward classes.
We enjoy Hindi movies and a majority of them are love stories while, love
marriages are a big No-No from the parents. Going to the extents of honour
killing.
You are not supposed to talk to a stranger, but are expected to marry one. And
as the Indian Film Industry projects the concept of the suhaag raat (The
Wedding night) one is also supposed to consummate the marriage with a total
stranger.
People who fight over Gita and Quran, chances are, may never have read one.
For the whole week people would relentlessly eat eggs, chicken, beef etc. but
suddenly on a Tuesday, the realization that it is against their religion dawns
upon them.
One may commit the dirtiest of Sins and absolve oneself by bathing in the holy
Ganges.
The legal age for drinking is 25 but you can always get married at 21.
We protect everything with plastic, but using condoms is stupid.
The citizens take a stand against rape cases and rapists immediately after a case,
however, probably more people follow and appreciate this man who has
allegedly written / recorded songs which objectify women in the most
disgraceful manner.
A lot of Indian people would turn their face when they see someone shitting, but
lose their mind when they see a couple kissing.
We question technology but believe in our superstitions.
