hmmm....
The problem in living in a civilized and developed society is that it is so predictive and boring. Here you know the exact second when a train/tram/bus will arrive. I mean I like punctuality but not when train will start moving exactly when the second needle of clock will touch 12. All vehicles slows at yellow, stops at red, moves at green. All shops close at time. Even local temperature, humidity and sun index seems to read papers and then decide how they should behave that day. Looks like the country is moving in sync like all pars of a Swiss watch. You just have to tick as per your destined move. And you call this a free country?
Freedom is India. You feel excited when you hurl at every empty auto that can potentially take you to MG road from mission road. He stops, you said MG.... and he speeds away. After all he is free. If you are lucky, he ponders for a second and then utters 70 rupeezaa, or double meetraaaa. hehe I mean, unless you in a hurry, the suspense of whether next autowala will stop or not, how much he will demand is a killer gamble. You are free too. You can get in or get down from bus/auto/trains anywhere. You can get liquor anytime. Just put 100 bill in that hole in shutter at 2.30 in night and hic your preference. You will get your stuff and change.
India is so full of options, choices and preferences...Bhai saab, thoda jaldi chalao............. bhaiyya, bhutta jyada sekna........... heero, left se lele..........uncle corner seat milegi ?.........ek meetha banarasi, choona jyada kattha kam.......... orange pineapple mix, without ice.....................solve any 3 from every section.............chachaa, 2 by 3 chai.................fixed ya floating.................munna, ye paani le jaa, doosra la................aeee, khisko jara? .....................market gira ya utha................mineral water ya normal water...............marketing ya finance................... ya dual....................ise pack kar do............chutta hai ki nahi?...........kidhar utarun aapko?................congrees ya bjp.................english movie ki hindi?..........love ya arrange??.................billable ho ya unbillable..............buffet or a la carte...............day shift me hai ya night me..............kya khaoge ? north ya south ? ......................chai coffee?..............flat kharidoon ya land.....................
But the only place where you can exercise your option in Switzerland is for pizzas. And if you are a vegetarian like me, you are doomed.
Un pizza Margarita' sil vous plea........... Merci!
