Happy Merger Day!!

Forth Speech at toastmasters was part of a humorous speech competition..

From ABCDE News headquarters this is world news with Julia Roberts …

Happy Merger Day!! Today we celebrate the first anniversary of India becoming the 51st State of the United States of America!!

What a journey it has been so far…

There have been no talks of super power and world supremacy since the slot was taken for good …a year ago

The cultures of India and US have both changed significantly.. even the number of alphabets in our channel name has noticed growth

In my last visit to US before this merger I used to go for regular morning walks in the neighborhood parks, now this three feet space is all the available for my exercise

Just kidding…actually inclusion of such a large population has been a blessing …

The Economy is flourishing like never before. With so many hands to work and mouths to feed ….markets are soaring….Adoption of Dollar as the merged country’s currency has helped Indian women a lot ... its always easier to tell your husband that you shopped for $50 instead of 2500 rupees.

Not only economy .. life style has changed too …there is a new found the harmonious fusion. like dishes like chicken tikka pizza, sandwiches in naan bread or curried steak are part of American cuisines …In fact kitchens all across America smell of garam masala or the hot curry powder ….clubs play bhangra music and designers create new fusion designs …

Reel is also changing with the real, Hollywood never had so many musicals with such synchronized and spontaneous dancing…

US is now a outsourcing destination and unrivaled hub of call centers for the world. Yesterday the European Union issued a statement sighting their concerns about outsourcing to jobs this more united UNITED STATES…Some sources say that they are planning drastic actions like hiking Visa fees to curb outsourcing..

In US itself the concept of call centers have evolved into knock centers… Now instead of calling you to buy things you do not need call center employees go door to door convincing people to buy …
Prominent Senators who have in past strongly condemned call centers … in a surprise move called the knock centers an essential tool of capitalism

Now moving on to the weather…
Most of you are aware of the concept of summer and winter houses ……new concept monsoon houses have been introduced... Americans, specially from the state of Arizona are buying houses in India to experiences rains first hand …Most insurance companies are now providing attractive discounts on flood insurance for these houses

Indians have also embraced the change ….like the adoption of American names …remember earlier this news telecast was called world news with priti sankhla …..My husband just completed paperwork over the weekend to be now known as Robert Pattison AAAhhhh now his email ID is more attractive them him …
The famous red dot on the fore head has now evolved into a red star and India has adopted right hand driving….

Though our sources across the globe say in practice its still the old “forget left hand , forget right hand…till I donn run over someone I am driving” driving

Defense expenditure for both united states and India has gone down drastically… who wants to attack a country that can retaliate from both sides?

United States is no longer under radar… No one can harm a significant number of people from a total of 1.5 billion population… so they have stopped trying…

The times are so good that a leading US newspaper called this the honeymoon period… sociological Experts are however worried that population of the state of India may further rise due to public use of this term…

As a patriot I hope to have many happy returns of this day…

That is all from the newsroom this special night … once again Happy Merger Day America!!
