Be good to India..It will become the best place on Earth

Way back in 2005, this happened when I was waiting in the immigration counter at Chennai Airport.

I was returning from Chicago, en route Frankfurt. All the travelers from the flight were walking down and were trying to fit ourselves in one of the queues. This is only airport where we can see that people have spit on the walls!!!! There were 3 long queues for Indians, one queue for Foreign nationals and one for physically challenged and elderly people. And, there was no one to regulate the queue. May be the authorities thought that if people can regulate themselves and remain disciplined in other foreign countries, they will remain so in India as well. But, that is very rare to happen!!!

In the queue I was standing there was a mother and son. The son seems to working in US for a very long time and had taken his mom along with for site-seeing. And, they are now returning to India for a vacation. After some time, the mother notices that in the adjacent queue, there was a gap between two people standing in the queue. The second of these two people was looking somewhere else. Since, that was a shorter queue, that lady sneaked in between those two people. The son was watching this and told his Mom: "If you were in US you would not have done like this. You would have stood in the queue...But, now here in India, why are you doing like this. Let's stand in the queue...." To this Mom replied: "Arey! Be an Indian in India!!! You also come here, that guy will not say anything. "

After this, you know what happened, the Son had also moved to the other queue!!!!

Is this what is termed as being Indian???

It is in the hands of we people to redefine the meaning of being an Indian.
