Imagine.
You go into a mall. Decide to go and watch Iron Man II. Queue for ticket machine. Find out there are no more good seats. Get a cup of coffee. Buy The Jungle Books of Kipling in a bookshop. Queue for the ticket booth. Queue in the cinema. Get to your seat. Stand up while the Indian Anthem is playing. Sit down. Watch the commercials. Watch the film. Leave the movie theatre.

Krish & Som are the two guys on the left
Chicken Biryani Tastes Better Coca. But then again, doesn't everything?

It's in the little things
A) you eat with your hands when possible. This is why, in restaurants, they give you a little finger bowl with a little piece of lemon in it.
B) "raw" vegetables are generally limited to a piece (sometimes cut into circles, sometimes not) of onion and some pickled lemons. I don't like lemons.
C) Bacardi breezer is a commonly accepted drink for adults.
D) Precious few have probably noticed this, but the handle on escalator generally goes a tiny bit faster than the steps. Well, in India, though even less have probably noticed this, it's the other way around.
E) Jobs are the yin and yang for Indians. The Alpha and Omega. You'll only have friends who have a career or are trying to get ones, and those friends won't have time for you, because they have a career or are trying to get one...

I have unravelled the Address of my company:
Green Ventures Advisors Private Limited
608 / 609, 6th Floor, B-Wing, Knox Plaza, Mindspace Near Tangent, Opp. HSBC, Off Link Road, Malad (West),Mumbai- 400 064
should be read as :
The Company name is GVA private lt
It is located on the 6th floor, number 608 & 609 (the two offices have been combined into one), in the B-Wing of the building called Knox Plaza.
This building is located in the Mindspace area, and is right next to a building called Tangent.
This building is further located opposite a building owned by the company HSBC.
The street has no name, but is located off Link Road.
It is located in the western part of the Malad area of Mumbai.
Obvious isn't it?

a) I managed to fix the whole not-being-chronological-ness of the blog. This, unfortunately, has turned a lot of what I said into pure nonsense... You will have to deal with this, 'cause I wont
b) the power problem of both my laptop and my cellphone was entirely my fault. I did not know you have to switch the powerplugs on before you can use them... silly me. The internet suffered a similar fate. Turns out you can actually Turn On the modem.... still don't have any connection in my room, but I do in the living room....
c) there was something else I needed to clarify. I forgot.
