Made in India

this has nothing to do with Republic Day...
but recently while lolling around at an upmarket shopping mall here in Doha, R wanted to look for some nail enamel... little did i know that the colours she would want would be least what i would approve... she chose BLACK... and of a renowned and costly US brand...
following her to the same store, i started to shop for some lip pencils... the colours i liked were available from two brands, but i, unknowingly opted for an Indian brand...
the counter lady who had to prove her superior selling ability, was happy with what R had chosen, but as soon as she saw what i wanted, she blurted out, "Madam, this is made in India... so would you want it?"
i felt like k**king her... but with a straight face said, "I am also made in India and would want only what i chose."
she smiled with a hurt look... i had achieved a little bit of what i would have with the k**k...
