LONDON 3

Then and now – how globalization works in my life:


4 years ago on December 15th I woke up to hear the sound of children playing in the fields and sound of a Hindi song cracking through a loud speaker in a small village in central India. Today I wake up on the 9th floor of a flat in central London. What is common is that in 2004 I woke up to listen to the BBC world service on my short wave radio and today I wake up to listen to the same BBC world service from my laptop how globalization works (1). That day I used the same kind of tooth brush, same brand of soap, same brand of jeans and t-shirt of course from some other country – guess it was Ethiopia and today I am wearing a Geneva t-shirt. Using the same Nokia brand mobile perhaps a much more High-Tec one how globalization works (2). Then I had to walk down to another village to call from a land line to my office folks and friends and mom today I am talking to the same people calling cheep from a mobile phone from London How globalization works (3). There was no internet or laptop which I owned then, today can’t live without one!!! How globalization works (4).
