Incredible Indiiah
They came, they saw and got floored by the festivities around.Foreigners living in the tricity are loving the feel of Ramlila and gobbling up gulab jamuns
These guys pronounce India with 'Indiiah' twang. Never mind the map folded in the palms to cross the very connected Sectors 8 and 5. Forget the fact they're 'foreigners'.Ignore the culture, conventions, customs and blah blah barriers.
