We are like this only

In our line of work we have a lot of European/American clients coming to Hyderabad for projects. We give them a cultural load-down before they come in. Here are snippets of what we tell them.

A) Racial Abuse
Talking in English: Most Indians in urban India understand English. If the urge to racially abuse the locals hits you, make sure you communicate in your native language. Americans have a tough time as English is all they speak.

B)Language
Word translations: Indian to Rest
a. "Our period's lasted 60 mins = "Its a 60 min class"
b. Flat = Apartment
c. 2 into 2 = 2 times 2
d. Rubber = Eraser
e. Lift = Elevator
f. A hot looking girl = Item
g. Bill = Cheque
h. Bisleri = Bottled water

C. Travel
Looking for street name: Directions in India are meant to be asked not figured out. Generally one cannot give you an exact address without a "landmark".
Always get pre-paid taxis or autos. If you can find someone who agrees to charge by the meter, jump in.

This lame-ass post has been put up as I am in no mood to write but want to stay in touch.

Airtel advertisment sells drugs

"A friend in need is a friend indeed, but a friend with weed is better". Words carved in stone by a friend of mine, a.k.a Carlito a.k.a The Legend.

If any of you have seen a junkie and the new Airtel 16 MBPS broadband advertisement you will know the correlation instinctively. This advertisement was initially created for a drug rehab facility. Aitel liked the concept and muscled its way to buy the advt.

All the fuckers in this advertisement are 16-18 yrs old "wannabe" YUPPIES high on....from what I can make of it...Meth and are one step short of blowing their brains out. The "kinda" kids who "wanna" say sup dude, ma bike, ma mobile, ma girlfriend but end up saying maa chudi.

The video has all signs of these being drug addicts with VD....here is the proof?
1. Standing on the roadside without a purpose--- while twitching
2. Playing with hands while looking down--- while twitching
3. A million screens of television rushing towards you
4. Depressed faces, due to lack of junk combined with constipation
5. Tapping the table--- while twitching
It so reminds me of Trainspotting.

Actually, this should be the video title:
"Suicide isn't so bad, give it a chance". Starring: Dolly the crack whore

I cannot believe that people get away with such shit. Watch the video on mute and you will know what I am talking about.

Disclaimer: The advertisement is real. The rest is how I interpret it. Nothing else

Singapore- la la land

Pics from my trip to Singapore:


Sen and I @ hooters



Unpredictable weather



Food! No snakes, snails or lizards.


Tummy rub for good luck


Singapore eye.

If you are a true blue Indian (read: don't believe in following rules) Singapore can be a nightmare for you. Singaporeans are suckers for making and following rules. Drug trafficking attracts the death penalty, jaywalking attracts huge fines. Take a wild guess what happens if you crash your car.

I have never seen a whole country being so compliant. Its scary. It almost resembles a drone army. An army brainwashed into following rules. Everyone's polite and nice.

I met friends and family and that was the saving grace. There isn't a must see that I can recommend. If you have the time and money, go someplace else.
