India 2008: isms

7 March 2008

my notes: India isms
  • men holding hands
  • color, color everywhere
  • propoganda/adverts on enormous billboards
  • the constant honking horn
  • traffic, traffic everywhere!
  • anise or fennel seeds for digestion
  • everything curried
  • veg and non-veg
  • Sir & Madam
  • British traditions of formality infusing life (what was it like before the British occupation???)
  • "What's your good name?"
