Namaste or ‘Namaskar’ is the standard greeting in India. A pair of folded hands is a sight associated with all things Indian. Whether you saw it when you landed at any of our International airports or met Indians that wouldn’t shake hands, please consider this gesture as polite, inviting and affectionately sincere. Namaste!
What kind of images conjure in your mind when you think ‘India’? Retorts like heat, dust, poverty are commonplace but that has never been the real India. The real India is the smile on the faces of these hot, dusty and poor folk! India is the essence of ‘hope’. For the last 61 years she has based her entire economy, society and international relations on the ‘hope’ of her 8 billion citizens. So the next time you are asked ‘What do you see when you think ‘India?’, derive your answers from here. India is the ‘power’ within the ‘Bindi’, India is the fluid sensuality of the ’sari’, India is vibrancy of henna, India is the crossroads of culture.
