We often say that the world today is a smaller place and
that we are globally connected through internet technologies that allow us to
connect anytime and anywhere. However, the funny part is that there exist many
misconceptions that we still see around in the real world. While the West is
technologically ahead and culturally different, East is just catching up and trying
to balance between its old traditions and customs and the effects of modernization
and westernization. On the other hand, the culture contrast is wide and that also
impacts life in many different ways. I have many friends in the West who are
passionate about touring India, exploring the sights and sounds and the
heritage and culture of my country, but what they don’t know is how they will
be perceived the moment they walk out of the airport. So, based on what I know
(excluding assumptions), I came up with this funny concept of how I can tell my international friends in the West, what Indians really think about them.
