neo colonialism???

these are some of the things i have been thinkin of writing about for some time now...
so here goes...


i am not against mnc's and all that...just that i dont get it when national heroes(or so called heroes or celebrities) sign up to advertise for some mnc and potray sometings or act in such a way which is not amusing at all...
like this other day while walkin down brigade road i came across the reebok showroom...
there the main poster with the central figure is Rahul Dravid (no problem with that...till they get the moolah but then)...
what i found annoying is that he is sporting a jacket with union jack(uk's flag to the uninitiated) on it...
dont know somehow i felt it was not right on his part....
why would u sport some other countries flag or something which is alien to ur society....
i am pro globalization et al but somewhere i do think we need to draw the line....

another thing...
we keep coming across articles about how western civilization and thinking are seeping alarmingly into our society....
best example...
there are lots...
it has its pro it has its cons....
there are few subtler things which i couldn't really digest...
point in case is two guys holding hands or huggin when they meet after a long time...
this was all very well accpeted in out country and society...
i don't see any wrong in it either...
what the hell man when i meet a pal i am going to give him a hug...think whatever u want to...
now there are a lot of ppl including my friends who would say...see so gay...or simply gay...
this is where u do realize that western thinkin has seeped into out minds...
what was perfectly accpetable even to these pp a few years back has now all of a sudden become gay....
double standards ???
no i dont think so....
what i would rather blame it on would be our incapability to know where do we really stand at this point of time....
now here is my question to you (ppl who have actually bothered readin all this)

where do we really stand at this important confluence of indianism and westernism and where do we draw the line??(are these new terms...then all credit to me...thank u thank u)
