SO WHAT ?
by Vivek Agnihotri on Jun 23, 2007 10:16 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Guys . Guys . Guys
Wake up now, its started to bug me now.
Sunita this, sunita that , Laxmi Mittal this, Laxmi Mittal that and the list goes on.....
Pls be informed that sunita ia a born Indian but is an AMERICAN NOW (by choice).
She prefers Pastas and Pizzas over Channa Bhaturas and Biryaani.
Its only her name that reflects her Indian Connection, agreed media has made her big but aren't we able to put things in the right prespective?
Believe me, she would have been just Sunita Ben had her father not migrated to America and she was exposed to such venues.

dude,
1. she is not born in india, and it doesnt matter, when some one achieves something great, it is ok to talk about it and when there is an indian connection it is even better.
2. half of resident indian teens prefer pizza over channa bhatura, so what.
3. you do something great instead of cribing, then we will all say 'vivek this, vivek that'

I think both of you are right, but even i think for anything which has Indian connection is blown out of proportion.There are six other people too. Lets take this easy,its absolutely right that Sunita has just Indian name. Lets accept that we are some 50 years behind any developed country and if any one of us breaks barrier and leaves this country to some developed country, its just that he/she gets these opportunities.
The way its shown in media is just creating hype and seling their TRPs but the fact is that this may just be very normal for all those who travelled in Atlantis and probably they may be laughing on India looking at all this.
