The Truant Tales

Its my least favorite time of the year. Its exam time again. But right now, I have 'study' holidays - free time meant to be devoted to the sole purpose of stuffing our heads with useless information which we'll probably never use except to make fun of it in our blogs. As usual I'm using this time to play cricket, see a lot of brain numbing TV, read a bunch load of novels, chat with my friends and further myself in the Orkut community. Study holidays - time used for everything else other than studying. Can anything be more Ironic?

The answer would be Yes. Yesterday, my father's friend who had come from America, handed me a T-Shirt that read "I Love USA", with a large American Flag behind it. It would've been a perfect picture of patriotism (Alliteration, for all you English junkies) if the label hadn't read "Made in China".

Staying with China, they outstrip India in almost every sense (except democratic rights. We in India have the power to tell publicly that our Government sucks. They can't do that). The only thing that stops the Chinese from beating India in IT is their inability to speak grasp English. But once they learn it, we're screwed. They are very hardworking people. The only other thing we're better than the Chinese is Cricket. But according to this story, its likely that they'll trash us by 2012.

I guess the reason for their success would lie in their attitude. For example, On a Tuesday morning.

Chinese : Woohoo!! Can't wait to go to work again. I wish they'd increase our working hours.
Indian : Oh No. Second consecutive day of work!! I think its time to go on a strike today.

[ Afghan : Time to sell more Opium.
Pakistani : Time to issue more killer fatwas.
Russian : Oh, I just moved my hand. Better drink a bottle of Vodka to settle down.
Iranian : Time to deny more Jew related events.
