I am an Indian, and there are some things I really like about my India and my fellow Indians.
Honking unnecessarily
Have you ever imagined what use would a vehicle be without a honk? Thanks to the inventor and the inventor should be grateful to Indians as we feel we are the only nation that make good use of it. We have the liberty to honk at anyone and any place we feel like. In India there is no penalty for honking even in restricted places. Well, we don't even know what are the places where we shouldn't honk. This is what we call real freedom. Here, your vehicle will never be towed away, at least for honking.
Peeing anywhere Just Do It style
This is sort of an addiction and you need not be surprised nor be shocked if you see someone peeing wherever you think isn't appropriate. Roadside, railway platforms, railway tracks are some places that mysteriously inspire us to relax and relieve. Is there a logic at all in spending a coin to use the public toilet? Moreover, public toilets are hard to find and are maintained so well that the stench in most of them kill even flies.
Scratching crotches
This is one of our favorite pastimes scratching away, like the way primates do. It is not in the least related to habits, for your kind information. It is more of a hobby to scratch our crotches in public places to draw attention. Whose attention do we get if this is done in private? We call this sport as "Mission Show Off."
We Indians are super duper hard working. We don't have time to spend even with our wives. So, it is an implied fact that we have no time to talk to our closest friends and neighbors for years. The only chance to spare time for our dearest friends and pour out our emotions is while mo-biking on our way to and from work. Don't ever think it is odd when you see friends biking side by side and conversing making the narrow roads filled. There is no use objecting to this wonderful moments of emotion sharing as even our police finds it touching. We also use biking time for texting, sexting and chatting to stay in touch with our near and dear ones.
Perching on Railway Tracks
You know what morning hours are for, don't you? The best place to welcome the rising sun is on the railway tracks. The surroundings are clear except for the occasional trains that whizzed by. You would probably think we are relieving perched on the iron fish plates. Do not be mistaken friends, we call it as sun bathing though in most cases we end up emptying our bowels. It is the sun bathing part that is more important than the relieving.
Garbage Disposal
Do not preach us about cleanliness and civic sense as it won't make sense at all. We are just happy to take care of ourselves. Life is short and where in the world do you think we'll have time for others. So, we feel it is absolutely justified to throw waste wherever we feel as long as our houses and compounds are clean. We can bear with the stench of rotting garbage outside our houses, actually we are used to it now. It is our birth right to throw waste wherever we want. Where else on earth do people exercise that insane liberty except India? I love my India!!!

Yoghurt addiction
Being a cow country, we have plenty and plenty of cows and milk flows even from walls. Whatever, we are not able to drink we make it into butter, ghee and yoghurt. We have some ethics not to eat anything without yoghurt. So, we mix rice, yoghurt, salt and water thoroughly until the mixture oozes out from between our fingers; then we finally slurp aloud and eat wholeheartedly. Licking our hand and fingers to make justice to the well mixed food is a sequential natural ritual.

So True!!! All these happen because people take things for granted!!!
Yes Prasanna, we seem to take too many things for granted... :) Need to learn how to like it or try to change. Learning or forcing ourselves to like it seems to be the easier way out though... LOL
