The economies of the world are expanding rapidly and we are in the era of globalisation, specially since late 1980's when the companies started expanding its horizons and opening its branches in different countries and hence leading to immigration whether its in search of education, better work opportunities.
Since I have been working overseas and staying their for now over 5 years I have seen an enormous change in terms of number of people migrating from other countries. One day I was going to work in the tram and was thinking what will be the world 100 years after and created a small little imagination that I would like to share with you in this blog.
As the organisations are expanding we have seen more and more people from different parts of the world working in the same organisation to achieve a common goal i.e. success of the company that will in turn lead to their success. You will see various retailers from different ethnicity running the outlets and doing business with all kind of customers irrespective of race or caste. Similarly when you go to a school you will see students from different ethnicity studying in the same class, they interact with each other play and attend parties together.
In the above paragraph I mentioned all the instances in which people interact because they have a common goal. All the employees want to be successful and so they work with each other. The businesses such as retailer wants to sell its products and doesn't care if he/she is selling to a Chinese,Indian or Australian as all of them will pay an equal price. Similarly students wants to get good quality education.
This interaction doesn't only remain at business level but sometimes becomes personal reach to another level i.e. love and respect for each other and may lead to marriages in some cases. You may see an Indian marrying an American or a Chinese marrying an Australian. Since I live in Melbourne that is the hub of multiculturalism, I have seen cases in which people from different ethincitiy have come together to spend life together, because love doesn't have any boundaries.
The globalisation is increasing and so the chances that more and more people from different ethnicity will interact and hence$ the probability of marriages between different ethnicity will increase. Have you ever thought what will happen after 100 years from now, when a Chinese/Aussie pair give birth to a child what will be his/her race. Similarly when Indian/American pair will give birth to a child what will be his/her race. Now when both the kids grow up and marry each other what will be their race i.e. it will be a blend of Chinese/Aussie/Indian/American. Belive it or not this is the future.
The inspiration behind this blog was that utlimately the whole world will be one country and we will be the citizens of the world then why are we even bothering about the topics called racism, when your child/grand child can be a mix of all the races and ethinicity. I feel the words "Racism" and "Racist" should be eliminated from the dictionary as these words recall the past that will not help people to rise in the future.
At the end I would like to say, would you like if your future generation will suffer from identity crisis just because their parents were from different ethnicity.
Please post your comments.

Victoria, the place to be and will always remain
This blog highlights the key points that I need to raise looking at the current tensions that has been created between India and Australia due to so called "race filled violence in Australia on Indian Fraternity"
I have been staying in Melbourne for past 5 years and completed my Masters degree here and since then have been working as a IT professional in Melbourne.
At first I feel we need to understand, what is racism and why do we raise this term every now and again, Is calling indians as curry racist?, isnt this something to be proud of.
My experience till now here is been extremely welcoming and I feel the recent spate of incidents is more unfortunate than racist, some may be, but there can be some amount of racism in every part of the world. We dont need to go far, I did my graduation from Maharashtra (India) and you can find the difference when you are treated as a outsider in your own country simply because you are not born in that State, this is ridiculous.
After making my point i am not saying that all whats happening is right, but has been blown out of proportions by the some of the news channels simply to gain more TRP at the cost of the future of relationship between two beautiful countries. My parents have been calling me every day as if there is a world war here, Media could not simple understand that portraying such a thing can lead to un-necessary tensions in the mind of parents who have there kids away studying or working in Australia.
I feel the Australian government should also take severe actions on drinking in public places and also use of drugs and the laws should be made to curb this. Binge drinking is a real concern here. When the youngsters are in the influence of alcohol or any drug there is a lot of adrenalin flowing through their body and they feel they can capture the world and then when whoever comes in their way becomes a target and in the recent incidents we have seen it, it is mostly youngsters who are too immature and don't know their responsibilities towards the society and need education and need an open mind.
My heart goes out to all the parents and people who have been affected by the acts of these few foolish and immature idiots and loosers and we hope that enough will be done to protect the security of people in Australia. As the target can be anyone irrespective of the race its just the time that can be bad for anyone.
I sign off from this blog saying to the victorian government and the police to take appropriate actions on the people who created unnecessary violence and hope that Indian Media should show some concern about people living here and don't blow things out of proportion for TRP's
We are all happy here and no need to worry.
A proud curry from the land of noworries
At the end "We dont want revolution we want solution, as we all are the citizens of planet earth and so we have a lot in common"

Introduction: The developed India, Other side of the coin
I take this honor and privilege to show the world, the developed face of India.
The inspiration behind this new series of blogs is been the general attitude of people towards India. India has been always portrayed in the world as a third world developing nation. The media throughout the world shows the poverty, the slums of India and no one ever mentions about the industrialization and commercialization that has taken place in the recent past.
As we know there are two sides of everything than why just show one side of the coin just because the other side is too shiny for people to face with a naked eye.
We know that there are shortcomings there is poverty and illiteracy but the other side is we have so much things to be proud of our culture, food , heritage and much more that is too long for this post.
This series will focus on the positive developments that has taken place in India in the past and I would need your support to contribute to this. Please write whatever you know about the recent positive developments or any event that we can show to the world.
The world will see and believe whatever will be shown to them and so lets give them some facts that they don't know about India and make them realise that India is not a developing nation anymore.
