We Indians are inscrutable at times. It's funny how we make a big deal out of everything. But while some of these things are understandable, a lot of them are silly and unnecessarily over-hyped in this country. Like the big fat Indian weddings. Or every parent's dream to turn kids into doctors and engineers. Or our obsession with fair skin. We give way too much attention to these trivial things for our own good. Here is a fun checklist of such fashionably overrated things in India:

English

"Beta English may poem toh sunao uncle ko?"

Indians are obsessed with speaking in English, writing in English, dancing in English... Excuse me! Hindi bhi itna bura nahi hai, yaar.

Fairness

"Beta Fair and Lovely try toh karo, fir dekhna kitney rishtey aayenge."

Will it get me Ranbir Kapoor's marriage proposal? If yes, give it to me, aunty.
