India ?

Capricorn: India. If you like old things and cultures that stand the test of time, this subcontinents has it all, and has had it continuously for thousands of years. Ancient temples adorn the landscape, arising from steaming plains and clinging to Himalayan mountainsides. The temple incense you inhale today was burned before Buddha was born -- the ancient shrine walls are black with it -- and the sparkling marble of the Taj Mahal was relatively born yesterday in this enduring land. Despite its Saturn rulership, there's a lusher side, tiger-stalked rainforests dripping from the monsoon, and wave-licked, reefbound shores where sharks and pearls abound. But sit down to the table, and it's all at the tip of your tongue -- as long as you're ready for the riot of spices, flavors, and textures that mark one of the world's greatest cuisines. From a light kurma to a searing vindaloo, crispy papadums and crunchy pakora, on a bed of basmati rice, washed down (and you'll need it!) by woody, bracing India pale ale. Still up for sweets? Firni and jalobi, spiced with a whiff of saffron, seal the meal. And all the while, in the background, a feast for the ears -- the dizzying spirals of sitar music, driven by the boiling, staccatto rhythms of the tabla, beneath the drifting, sinuous songs of the romance of legendary lovers Rama and Sita. Who says Capricorn's dry?!

Memories of India. Thanks for bringing these home to me. I was in India for 1 month about 7 years ago. An experience i will never forget. Gaurav_Aries, it is just as you described, except your description sounds like more North of India. My travels took me from Bangalore to the Southern tip of India.
"Nahi naseeb unka kharab jinke paas mera sath hai...ask those joo log mere sath hai"

Iss nafrat mei bhi mohabbat hai. Sard hawaon se hi ishq sulagta hai.

Perhaps a few more months there.
"Plans..humm my not so sharif friens are comin so party,fun fun fun"
haa haa...that will be interesting indeed !...U had a gang or sth ?
hindustaan...haan lag to raha hai ki chhot hi gaya hai. Jald vaapisi ki umeed nahi dikh rahi.
"though yeah some of my friens are just opp very sharif"
Issay thorra aur define kiya jaa sakta hai ? Tongue
"Haa vaise bhi jyada tar hindustaniyo ko india se bahar hi rehne ka maan karta hai"
LOL...mera mann to hai vaapis aane ka lekin kaam hai yaha. Plus yaha life peaceful hai ..comfy hai. Aapka kya vichaar hai iss per ?
hmmm...baat thik hai. In fact valid point hai.
But sab log comfort ko chorrna nahi chahatey. System is huge in India...and itz nearly impossible to fight against it.
"But i dislike those who cant contribute but can critise"
I feel that therez a lesson to be learnt there as well...look at the criticism carefully and not the critic. There can be many hidden merits in any argument, malicious or otherwise.
Hmmm....If that criticsm is derogatory then surely U need to respond verbally. On the other hand criticism gives U an opportunity to look inside and evaluate the argument put forward in an objective manner. Even malicious attacks make sense some times...Ur opponents spot Ur weaknesses to hit hard and thatz the biggest help one can receive.
how can India be the sign of Capricorn when most of the country functions on pure emotion
even Hindi movies are big on melodramatics
"when most of the country functions on pure emotion"
thatz a good point...perhaps capri emotionz are misunderstood.
I think Capric emotions are hidden and if pple don't get a chance to see ur emotions than how can they know
Well...Caps generally remain sullen and aloof. Take a lot of time in warming up. But as Cap said...Why shud others even bother to stop n ponder.
