Missing India

Signs that u have been to India...

Nameste!
You started using words like 'shanti shanti' (relax,chill in Hindi) to people who haste you.

You  rattled off slangs like,No chopatti,no chelom,no chai.
                                     Drink Lassi in Varansi
                                     Surbish Manlaga(everything possible)
                                     Eek min,Gee (1 min ,sir).....India Time,Indian Stretchable Time,Eek min can b a day
                                     Sita (straight)
                                     Ki na rupee (how much is it in rupees)

You are able to eat in peace with thousands of flies round u, and yes,you can see more number of flies in any one meal than the whole of your life accumulated.

You say Yes ,with a left-right -left-shake of  your head.

You carry a candle around-a sudden shortage off power supply becomes no big deal,even u are at the internet cafe.

You are able to wear contacts lens on and off wif no lights,definately no mirror reflection.

You are wear shawl/cloth to block sunlight and dust of ur face.

You expect every India Tea stall or Prata stall owner to understand 'Chai'.

You find a cushioned seat a luxury n Sg's cinema too big and comfortable.

You sg's road are too quiet to b true,coz in India's motorists horn at every single time,even to say hi for no reasons.

You started smiling at everyone.

You discovered suddenly no one stops at look at u,coz in India,people watching is their hobby.

Efficiency in Sg is superb.

You are so used to deattached bathrooms with basins for toothbrushin outside,that u begin your plastic bag hanging.And probably you killed butterflies ,moths and other inseats each time u shower.The more mountainous the area,the more butterflies u killed,i kiled so many beautiful exotic butterflies each time i showered in Sikkim.Cold ice water is lukewarm n tap warm is warm for u.

You start looking for ladles to flush your toilets and little baskets to throw your paper.

You carry toilet paper,mineral water,candle everyday.....insect repellents for the first few days while u r not used to it.so far i m quite oki with it,dint use any.

You can sit on any parts of the streets,to eat and watch the heavy traffic pass u.

You look out for 'momo' in the menu.(momo-India version of dumpling mainly found in Central south India onswards).

You started calling double-sided clothes-'Sunday-Monday',coz if u flipped to the other side,you can wear it on the next day without anyone noticing.The Indians know that the tourists like it.

You expect shops to tailor made your stuff accroding to your design and give u the next day!! .sound great rite!
