Because Indian men lack online etiquette. Yes you can say not "All" men are like that .. but I will say most are. The assumption is that if a woman is 'available' on social media, to them means she is "asking for it"? 
Not enough laws protecting women subject to cyber bullying, the situation is rather pathetic and makes me so angry. I can launch into a tirade of all the stupid things Indian men do online. 

Where have all the good men gone?

E.P.I.C Infographic- Social Comparison of Indian Weddings with America 

On the face of it it might seem like a huge waste, but then this about this most people in India will get married once once- so consider this a down payment for a life time i.e. no second wedding costs?  Almost every person that attends a wedding bring you something, so you recover part of the costs if not all. And then well the pure entertainment value for nearly 10 days has got to amount for something?

The Night is Darkening Around Me by Emily Bronte
The night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow ;
But a tyrant spell has bound me,
And I cannot, cannot go. 

The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow ;
The storm is fast descending,
And yet I cannot go. 

Clouds beyond clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below ;
But nothing drear can move me :
I will not, cannot go.

Holy Remixes! Moulin Rouge meets Bollywood! 

Goodness me the original song is so soulful and well hands down a favourite with every Indian. This twist on the song "Kabhi Kabhi" by  Kiwi musician Mikey McCleary's band - The Bartender takes remixes to a brand new level.

I'm not sure I like the song yet, maybe I love the original too much, but the video is not bad at all. For those who don't know the original: :http://goo.gl/fq1go 

what do you guys think?

A short story about a couple .. dealing with real life in Mumbai. 

The story of a maroon sweater (Mehrooni) knitted with love.
The story of a battle to find small moments in a modern hectic world.

The story of love, maybe it does exist...

Take a few minutes to watch this video.  It has English subtitles for the Non-Hindi speakers.

Drink and Get Driven
India is  a God Fearing country. Yama the God of death perhaps the most feared.  Zara, a popular Tapas Bar in Chennai, in association with Chennai Traffic Police decided to address drunken driving (responsible for 70% of road fatalities in India), by leveraging this mindset. 

One the few times I've seen such an awesome campaign making using of a 1000 year old mindset to send the right message! Well Done Zara!

Cultural Differences

I found this insightful about India, it think its very true. We have a hard time saying no.

In India understand yes, no and patience. Since the word “no” is considered dismissive and insulting in India, it’s rarely said, and getting truthful answers from your business counterpart may be difficult. Instead of saying “no,” Indian businesspeople may say “That may be difficult” or “I’ll try” instead.

Some people "get" cultural difference. Some just don't. Doing business or even working with global colleagues brings its own set of challenges. Here are a few things you should keep in mind in markets that are growing.
