1. Music, classical, Shankar and chants in particular.

2. Food - I'm a bug sucker for a good curry /that makes a fantasy out of the most prosaic tater/, and other things, when I'm in a mood to cook. The recipes are quite requiring though, so I can't do it on daily basis, otherwise I won't have time to write this post.

3. Yoga - even though badly I'm out of shape.

4. Kamasutra and Khajurano - sacred sexuality

5. Rabindranat Tagor
"Beggarly Heart"

When the heart is hard and parched up,
come upon me with a shower of mercy.

When grace is lost from life,
come with a burst of song.

When tumultuous work raises its din on all sides shutting me out from
beyond, come to me, my lord of silence, with thy peace and rest.

When my beggarly heart sits crouched, shut up in a corner,
break open the door, my king, and come with the ceremony of a king.

When desire blinds the mind with delusion and dust, O thou holy one,
thou wakeful, come with thy light and thy thunder.


6. I have to add one more, so saree and jewelry

1. The Most Cultured, Sophisticated, and Deep (having much depth) Culture in the Universe. No joke. The weddings, the religions, the languages, the everything and anything that is Indian.
 
2. Food.
 
3. People. The Indian is a capable person and desirious of seeking knowledge. Unfortunately their damn polytickians are corrupt. Otherwise this growth we see today should have began in the early 70s.
 
Also, Indians tend to be moderate in all they do. Pakistanis tend to gourge on food, money, etc. Indians know moderate temperment. Pakistanis can consume like pigs.
 
4. The geography. All landscapes under the sun are available in the nation.
 
5. the Hot Indian girls (not the ugly ones)

oh I love India!

In no particuler Order.
 
1. the people, they make life look so fun to live.. they are smart.. and the young ones have great style from an early age and know how to fix themselfs up.
 
2. Bollywood.. Khan and Aishwarya and all the others, the music videos, movies and how colorful everything is.
 
3. food! hot hot hot hot hot, yum!
 
4. the culture, past and present, from the taj mahal to the diversity and the saris, jewelry, and indian women put makeup on the best!
 
5. hot people.. guys and girls.. also add i love how they both get married.. Ind/Pak weddings and wedding dresses look are the best!
 
Only thing I dont like is the lack of dark skinned people front and center. its like they put the lighter skinned beauties up in front and put darker in back. skin color issues? reminds me of Latin America. they both need to quit that. and thats it.
