Your Country | My Country | |
Traffic sense | Resembles a REPUBLIC DAY parade where everyone follows the rule to the last word, if not then even the worst try and mimic the person in front. | It's more like BARCELONA playing football, Keep looking for gaps and pass/ drive when u find one. Very important and crucial factor being EXPECTING the run of you fellow drivers while passing. |
Etiquette | Overtly polite ppl with more than generous use of Excuse me, Thank You, Sorry and Bless You's. | Temperamental and reserved when it comes to ppl we don't know. Show of hand is supposed to express emotions from Excuse me, Sorry, Thank You to Bless You. Depending on what's appropriate to the situation and the angle of the raised hand. |
Smile | Polite gesture. Preamble to interaction. | Freaky/ Shady! Tactics to avoid interaction in most cases. Refer THIS |
Pedestrians | Always a priority even higher than traffic lights and rules. | Roadkill. |
WAR | Any conflict across the world --> Govt insists on it: Ppl don't. | Conflict involving self with neighbor --> Ppl insist on it: Govt doesn't. |
Economics | 19 McChicken Burgers = Brand new low cost Vacuum cleaner = A decent Shirt = A lap dance. | 19 Mc Chicken Burgers < A decent shirt < Low cost vacuum Cleaner <<<<<< Lap dance .(if u manage to find one i.e.,) |
Education | Politicians are. Kids aren't. | Kids are. Politicians aren't. |
Directions | "9th and state street facing south, take a left, 3 blocks down the road." | "Domlur flyover? Take right towards leela hotel, ok? then second signal, go straight, u'll see total mall on ur right, OK? go straight, small tea shop and a temple on ur left? take next right, daambur road not mud road, ask anyone there. Actually mud road is a short cut but u'll get confused." |
