 The cheese that I had for morning breakfast was pure Italian; with its tanginess drowning me into waves of euphoria, 

 
The ring adorning my finger was from the ancient pyramids of Arabia; glistening splendidly all day and night, 
 
The shampoo that I used; was a herbal extract from the caves of Mount Everest; impregnating my hair with a satiny caress, 
 
The calculator I used; was from Japan; deciphering mind-boggling puzzles within lightening fraction of seconds, 
 
The shoes I wore were colonial British; woven with exquisite quality leather, 
The watch on my wrists was authentically Swiss; shimmering majestically under the moonlight, 
 
The scents that lines my mantelpiece; were from the deserts of Arabia; replacing all stink with their mesmerizing redolence, 
 
The belt that held my pant single piece; was evolved from the skin of African python, 
 
The ice cubes that floated in my glass of whisky; were from the summit of the frozen Himalayas, 
 
The carpets engulfing every floor of my dwelling; were stitched with exclusive quality Persian wool, 
 
The gallons of water that I consumed every hour; were extracted from the pristine springs of the Alps, 
 
The mascara embellishing my eyelashes; was from the markets of ravishing France; that attracted every female inevitably towards me, 
 
The food that I gulped for nocturnal supper; was from the delectable kitchens of Turkey, 
 
The clothes that I used to cover my shivering skin; were from the contemporary and gaudy showrooms of America, 
 
The conch shells that I used to announce my voice to the world; were from the coastal islands of Australia, 
The roses that were fitted adorably in my vase; were from the sprawling gardens 
of China, 
 
The tea that I sipped with enormous pleasure; was made from petals strewn in the orchards of Pakistan, 
 
Infact even the contraptions I used to measure my intimate heart beat was of precision quality and pure German, 
 
While inspite of all these; I still had the greatest reverence for the soil 
I was born in; my heart was pure Indian.
