A Good Feeling!

Walking down Chicago's O'hare airport one can notice flags of various countries hanging down the ceiling, there would probably be around 40-50 flags in line spaced a good 5-10 feet away from each other. Alongside the flag are wordings that welcome people - for example, the flag of Ireland, and the wordings would read "Welcome to Chicago- Sister City to Dublin, Ireland", the flag of Japan would have -"Welcome to Chicago- Sister City to Osaka, Japan", I always thought of this as an innovative/creative way to promote camaraderie among countries and people alike. But the only problem- every country's flag had wordings attached, except one....the Indian national flag!

Everytime I arrive there, enroute exit I would walk by those flags for the sole purpose of seeing if they have attached wordings for India, and I would always be disappointed. Even countries like Ghana, Nigeria & Azerbaijan had wordings attached to their flags, "not that there is anything wrong with it" (courtesy- Seinfeld) but not India. did they not care about us Indians??

When I arrived there this new year, I finally saw the wordings for India. Better late than never.. It was a good feeling!

"Welcome to Chicago- Sister City to Delhi, India"
