It’s Donald Duck Day in the US today and social media is doing what it does best – raving about yet another addition to an already overpopulated pop culture calendar.
As if we didn’t have enough. There’s Chocolate Ice Cream Day and Best Friends Day, Iced Tea Day and, believe it or not, even a Peanut Butter Cookie Day.
But what of our desi indulgences? Sure, we watched Donald Duck as much as any blue-blooded American kid, if not more, but how could we not remember Chacha Chaudhary and his beloved companion Sabu? Or our dog-eared copies of Nagraj, Vikram and Betaal?
So thank you firang sirs and madams, but we’d take Maa ka Khana over Burger King any day.
Here are some indigenous creations which we believe could rival creations by the foreign world any day. So let’s have some fun turning them into our very own desi ‘days’!
