Would you?

Traffic in b'lore city is a never ending story, but while you are struck in these " I wanna kill myself" traffic you get to observe people around you, its fun to watch uncles who scream loud into their cell phones, how aunties give that "what on earth look" at a couple, or how girl smiles into the phone, so on so forth.
One of things i saw today, was this guy on a bike, removed his helmet to talk over the phone, and his scarf falls down, it was when he was struggling to tie it back managing his helmet and the phone, I saw that it was flag, a flag of USA.
So whets the first thought you get, someone is flaunting his phirang status or liking towards that country,
We have seen people who wear jackets, Tee's which have some or the other country's flag on it, and the first reaction from anybody would be " oh look, he is showing off, that he is back from US / any other country, he has no respect for our nation, did he forget he was here more than 20 yrs here, and only few years in abroad and he has forgotten all his values..blah..blah"
But .. how will you react if you see anyone who is wearing a scarf, a jacket or a T-shirt, which has Indian flag on it??
Would you call it patriotism??
Would you that flaunting your strong INDIAN values??
Is it something, which will make our parents proud off?

About 3-4 years back, a famous designer, Malini Ramini, wore a dress which had Indian Flag imprinted on it,
Now that made a big news, not quite sure what exactly stirred up controversy, was it her dress, as it was spaghetti strapped knee length frock and "print" was our National flag, the "objections" was, how can she use our national flag on a dress like that??

So is it ok if it were a sari, a draped it typical Indian style, no hip blouses or any other designs!
Is it ok if it’s a kurtha pajama or a panche types??

Would you do something like that??

Something that never happened!

One of the frwds..

Walking through the breeze on calm evening
holding the hands I wish could hold once
I'm nostalgic about something that never happened

Feeling the touch I never felt
Still looking into the deep eyes I've never seen
I'm nostalgic about something that never happened

Feeling the pain of separation from
Someone I never knew
I'm nostalgic about something that never happened

Feeling her/his scent in every bit of me
and yet craving to smell it once in life
I'm nostalgic about something that never happened

Anticipating her/his response
to a proposal I never made
I'm nostalgic about something that never happened

Trying to forget something I never wanted to
Holding the breath, I had never taken
I'm nostalgic about something that never happened . . .
