Indian culture is an amalgamation of several cultures and habits but the beauty really lies in the fact that most of us behave similarly no matter where we are. And, we take pride in things that make us different from the rest of the world (mostly in a good way). Here are a few examples of universal Indian behaviour witnessed almost everywhere and how much we love it.
DISCLAIMER: None of these points are meant to hurt/offend anyone’s sentiments. This a light-hearted post simply appreciating things that we experience very often.
