Patriotism or foolishness?????


This is an anecdote which i recently heard from a friend who has been pushed into a fix after this little incident...

Intro: a small fight starts between father and child on the usage of a sim from a certain company..

Father: you still using THAT sim?!! (contempt)

Child: dad! That's got the cheapest message and call scheme ..why should i throw it away?!!!

Father: haven’t i told you! Its a Pakistani company!

Child: (shocked) gosh.. dad... how many....(silent laughter)

Father: what! You want to pay money to the Pakistanis!! Support their companies while the Indian ones struggle!

Child: cmon! Who on earth told you that! So.. what if it is...(fumbles with words..speechless)

Father: this generation! Don’t have any patriotic feeling... i did rather give more money to the Indian ones than giving a single paise to the Pakistanis.. ! !  (nerve pumping)

Child: (jaws drop) (thinks: what the.....! )


Do you call this patriotism or foolishness? In the age of globalisation and talks about oneness in world people still struggle to obviate border differences...few instances when parents make you fell grown-up...
