Bul.. Bul.. Bulgaria...

привет,
Как сте днес? Как беше уикенда? Нейната сняг Навън. Да не забравите да си палтото, ако излезеш.
:) Welcome to bulgaria. It would be safe to say 1% of bulgarian people speak English :) Bulgaira is a beautiful place. Its a historical city which reflects roman and medival culture. Recently they have joined the EU and have become a developed Nation but still counted as the poorest in the EU.
As an Indian when you visit Bulgaria you will definitly fell out of place. We indians are not so attached to our culture and heritage. We love to adopt ( please adjust ;) mentality). In the pastg few years of India shining we have gradually and knowingly moved towrds globalizationa dn adopted English as our Father Tounge ;) and are now proud of it. We are now succesfully able to work for the developed nations. Not many of or rather hardly any of us can write the comple alpabet set in our mother tounge. Bulgaria is a contrast to this. The cyrptic language is difficult for us to understand but if you visit bulgaria you will find it all over the place. Be it buses , trams, billboards, lifts , emergency info , fire exitsm toilets , restaurants , there casions, strip clubs , taxi recipts, departmental stores bills, keyboards , .. you name it. The World is adjusting to this booming economy. The world is delivering them what they want. If you have a growing economy and increasing consumption people recepect your culture and language. This is in line to my visit here :) we indians are 100 times larger , more and still we are at the mercy of the west. We dont respect each others culture and fight it out among ourselves. We are technologically advanced and we need to move in a direction that ensures that our culture doesnot die out. In a time of recesion goverment spending in this direction can help in greater spending and at the same time preserve our culture. Why dont we have most of the docuemntation in hindi?? why can we ask for a Big Bazar bill in hindi?? rather we feel ashamed if we ask for it... We got to save hindi before it dies out.....
