In search of the elusive indian root.

It is "finding the roots" time again. Every year in November, India goes mad searching its roots. Men, women and children from all parts of the country single-mindedly throw themselves at the noble cause of root-digging.

Today is ethnic-wear day in my company, and someone composed a poem that says

Let's get back to our roots
We are all Indian offshoots


Sounds creepy to me.

Every year people find their roots in November only to lose it again. And the hunt spills over to the next year.
