What I Know Now

A few things I have discovered since coming to the USA:
1) RULES. You wait for signals to cross the road on foot too. Its irritating for someone who has spent his life in Mumbai.
2) SMOOTH ROADS. An 8 hour bus journey from NYC to Buffalo is less stressful than a 1 1/2 hour busride from Kandivali to SEEPZ.
3) POLITENESS. Despite the tales of American brashness, they actually greet everyone on the street. Dont even get me started on the 'Thank You's and 'Have a nice day's when you go to counters at stores or information desks.
4) DESI. Yup, that’s what you become when you come here.
5) HOTPANTS. Need I say anything more?
6) WOODEN HOUSES. They can actually withstand all the weight.
7) CHEAP ELECTRONICS. Will Airtel or Hutch ever give you a Sony Ericsson 760 for Rs. 4000 because you took their postpaid connection?
