Truely Indian...!

It was again a new weekend, so we friends went to Shivji Maharaj Museum near CST, Mumbai. Post our journey to Great Indian Culture our exausted minds took us to the nearest food joint outside the museum. We were enjoying our snacks while some foreigners came there and ordered for four Lays chips packets(10Rs./packet that comes total 40 Rs.) and a bottle of Packaged drinking water(12 Rs.). The lady gave him 100 Rs. to which the stall owner was supposed to return 48Rs. but he returned just 2Rs. to her.As I was preoccupied with the news "Indians earning more money from foreigners illegally" I spotted this incident immediately and demanded an explanation from owner to which he replied with proud expressions -"Kya madam inse nahi kamayenge to aur kahase kamayenge? (What madam! from where else we will earn?)". This is it. This is the way outsiders are served.If the land having the culture of treating our guests as God can work out in this manner then no wonder we are "still" a DEVELOPING COUNTRY and not a DEVELOPED!

Twists

Traveling through your life gives you numerous experiences....U got to learn many things and at the same time you have to lose many things without which you are unidentified. Is this the true meaning of life? Definitely not! But still we call it LIFE with a sigh...although! "All is Well" gives you the strength to face problems but still you are helpless. Why this deal is so unfair?? Do these twists and turns really give meaning to life? recently we arereading about so many suicide cases amongst youngsters> But the really don't deserve this cruel twist neither their parents and relatives. But still the are facing it. And we don't know who is responsible for it. we don't know the reasons behind such extreme actions. Finding the answers will not help them now but definitely these answers will give the set back to such upcoming decisions.
