Desi Babus, English Mems!

There was once a crappy movie named english babu desi mem....if i take this kinda comparison forward, and talk about desi babus english mems instead, where the 'babus' represent any of the zillions of governmentbodies, and 'mems' represent the internet (!), it throws up some interesting websites!

I recently had the misfortune of visiting the census india website, in search of some elusive information that i sought....the result was actually the funniest website i ever came across...sample this!

Of special mention is the most prominent text on the page, written on some archaic representation of writing, complete with an ink holder (which actually looks more like an aladin lamp!), and a feather pen...We also count people in India!!!!!!!!

Yeah right, the babus need to be constantly reminded what their primary purpose of existence is, eh?

And I won't even get into the functionality aspects...none of the links so prominently displayed in jarring color schemes on the left pane work!!

Expected, is it? Guess I can safely say that the desi babus get very highly conscious in the presence of this english mem that has come to rule our lives so completely....
