it's amazing how people are turned on the democratic values. The outline of all the recent cocktail talks, and 'all tomorrow parties' used to and will end up with a discussion aimed to find out the most democratic country in the world...

the 'eu-citizens' are mostly positive that it's their own country. french grew up along with the utopian socialistic ideas adopted by their parents back in 50-60s and the rest of ancestry back to 18-19th century, then cultivated on the fertile ground of Europe to become a basis for the current social policy.
democracy? but then why i can't go to school in my hijab?

the americans are sure that's the world still owes them for invention of the democratic values. and they are the only one country for the moment that spreads them all over the world.
democracy? but why they push it forward so violently?

the emergent markets keep silence. they work. they don't care about democracy. they try to catch up with everything they missed for the last hundred(s) of years.

and when the guys ask me where the democracy is, perplexed, i start talking nonsense.

-It's in Bangalore.
-Where? they ask me again.
-In Bangalore. The indian silicon valley.

may be it stays apart from the european model. it's not at all in alignment with american principals. but it's natural. it's the IT democracy.

international relations, reflections
