My wife heard this in her school last Thursday; a conversation between two Indian kids of the VIth Standard.
Student 1 : Hey, did you see Obama getting the Nobel ? My daddy said it's a joke.
Student 2 : Shut Up !! Don't say anything rotten about MY President.
Student 2 is a proper Tam-Bram Indian (who we both have sighted on more than one occasion having dinner @ Banana Leaf with his family, with Sambar dripping way down past his wrists), whose only connection with US of A happens to be the fact that his father was posted in Seattle for 1 year, well before his (student's) birth.
What has the world come to ? What have we done to our kids ?
its the 'America' craze. everyting American is cool-American junk, American cousins, American shampoos, American slang, American President. But I know what you are talking about here...patriotism is a thing of past..and its our generation to blame. Talking of which, how proud are u of our President? Wonder if that kid even knew her name...
