Really superb example well written by Mr Shashi Tharoor
Question : What is the truest definition of Globalization ?
Answer : Princess Diana’s death.
Question : How come ?
Answer : An English princess with an
Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a
French tunnel, driving a
German car with a
Dutch engine, driven by a
Belgian who was drunk on
Scottish whisky, followed closely by
Italian Paparazzis on
Japanese motorcycles, treated by an
American doctor, using
Brazilian medicines
And moreover this is sent to you by an
Indian
using
American technology, and you’re probably reading this on your iPhone or Android or Windows phone or blackberry, that use
Taiwanese chips and a
Korean screen, assembled by
Bangladeshi workers in a
Singapore plant, transported by
Pakistani lorry-drivers…. That is
Globalisation!!
