I chanced upon this link, which compares Italians to the rest of Europeans but I just couldn't stop laughin simply coz those Italians are soo much like us (Indians). Hell I didn't believe it when my Italian friend Ele told me that we were so much like then or probably they are ruder than us ;-) but guess this link proves that after all she was right :-)

And yet another link which shoes the difference between Western's and Eastern Culture

The first link didn't go thru ... but kinda makes sense now .. the whole Sonia-Rajiv connection. ;-)
ReplyDeleteA striking similarity we shared with Italy that I noticed was bargaining with cab drivers - very similar to the auto driver negotiations in Chennai and other Metros.
ReplyDeleteDrying clothes in open, cleanliness are some common jokes.
But, similar to India, the influence of Relegion in Architecture is profound, full of life in Italy and it shows. Even the local churches [Basilica] are so inspirational - just like the temples in South India. So, there are some great things we share too and the West comes way behind when it comes to inspirational art.
