The Americans
Just a couple of days ago, I went to meet a second cousin of mine. This second cousin went to the USA some 5 years ago. Now he's thoroughly americanized. He's forgotten how to speak his mother tongue(not that he ever spoke it much) and also the local language. Infact, he can communicate properly only in English.
Now, I wish to type out some his conversation I overheard, without his permission ofcourse.
"How can there be so much dust here? It is all because of these vehicles. Too many vehicles!! They should have some regulation. The government should do something. Like only you people can have vehicles and a certain class, not everybody".
"Uncle, don't worry. All fancy things, all the best things in the world, you get there. I am here only for the local, original things!"
"Aunty, take some vodka."
"No thanks beta"
"Take aunty! It's womens' rum!"
"I'm the hydraulics engineer blah blah"
[Later]"Over there engineering is considered the lowest field...only the low class society takes it"
"I can't recognize Bangalore, it is so horrible!"
Hmm this requires pondering though...
Oh well. So there's that.

5 drops:
Wonder if the 'real' Americans would say all these. And my cousin has decided not to return back for she is allergic to dust, pollution and all that. Sometimes we Indians are a little too submissive.
And womens' rum? Good one. LOL!
Yes womens' rum. One poor second aunt got a little too woozy...
Hmm. Happens :P
funny but smells of hypocrisy, arrogance and small mindedness ...woman's rum!!! well i d prefer rum with coke over vodka and lemon anyday...;)
