“We need to do the online equivalent of the salt march (which of course means a Facebook page + Orkut community + Adobe Flash-based candle-lighting mass campaign through email attachments) and stamp our Indianness on the web. All of this talking will get us nowhere.
“I believe we can start with the Facebook “Like” button.”
“LIKE!!!”
Point and shout!

Me muero de tacos en México.
¿Dónde está mi guitarra?
Cuando estoy borracho
Me muero de tacos en México
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cindita linda, los corazones
Renner has suggested an alternative: “”Estoy en México y los tacos me matan.” I like that, too.
