Respect the Chai (tea)











I recently had to go to a cobbler, as my shoe's sole broke while i was going somewhere, so after asking directions from someone for a nearby cobbler, i managed to hop till there, unfortunately there were quite a few 'babus' already present over there for boot-polish, and i was getting late already. Then the old man (the cobbler), looked up while sipping his tea, and asked "kya hua?" (what happened?), i replied casually, "koi bat nahi, baba, pehle chai peelo, phir dekh lena". He smiled back at me, finished his tea, and then ignored all those babus who waiting for boot-polish, repaired my shoe very quickly and skillfully and withing 2 mins i was back on road.

Moral of the story: Respect the chai.. ;-")

Never get stuck Behind a Learner

BAD:
You are on a two wheeler, stuck behind a car in a narrow lane, and you are getting late.

WORSE:
You notice that there is big "L" (learner) sign in red color, on the car, and apparently it is for the driver itself, and unfortunately the driver isn't aware of the reverse gear in car

WORST:
The driver is a woman, no offence. I believe in 9 out 10 things women are better than men, but then driving, they need some serious help.
