There’s something jokingly called “Indian Standard Time”, coz actually nobody knows what time is that. Sometimes you get the impression that nobody cares to be on time and for people like me, waiting for someone who is late can be really irritating.
But on the other hand, when it comes to making a queue, nobody can simply wait their turn no matter what the queue is for. If you have traveled to India from abroad you know what I’m talking about. You are peacefully waiting to board the plane and when they make the call everybody stands up and try to be the first one. They push each other and they behave like if you are not there first, then someone is gonna take your plane seat. Read More…

I was surfing the net and came across these series having writer Liz Tuccillo (Sex and the City, He’s Just Not That Into You) interviewing Indian people from Mumbai about arranged marriages, horoscopes, love and being single. I found the videos quite revealing and well done. So if you are a curious soul about life in India as I am, give them a look and let me know what you think.

One of the curiosities I found in India is the matrimonial advertisements. They come in national newspapers like the Times of India and they have a special section where the ads are categorized by caste, religion, civil status, etc.
I was really very shocked when I saw this advertisements the first time but later on when I came to know about the Arranged Marriages I understood their purpose. Reading these ads gives me an insight of the Indian society. About what are the ideal preferences or so called “perfect matches” for getting married with. About how even the cast system has been abolished by law, it is more than alive in the daily life. And I’m not talking only about Indian villages, this happens in metros too. Read More…

Buy a bottle of Bisleri sparkling water (commonly known as “Soda” in India) for Rs. 15 to cool off yourself from the scorching heat. Open the cap, drink a little while and then you will find three sexy girls waiting for you… can’t believe it. This is what happened…
Nowadays it’s terribly hot in India, so I drink at least 3 to 4 liters of water in order to keep myself hydrated. Most of the time, when I am out I often buy water if I feel too thirsty. This time I wanted to drink some sparkling water and I got it from the local shop. I was so thirsty and just enjoying the cold drink. Suddenly, when I was about to finish I noticed that there were some images at the back of the label so I went to my window and look at them again, something was there but it was not possible to see exactly what because the water bottle was kind of blue color.
Bisleri Label on Soda Bottle... Hiding 3 Girls
So I just removed the label and when I turned it around I saw the images of 3 white girls there in some sexy positions. Wow I was so surprised of my discovery. I never really saw pictures of girls at the back of the cold drinks. Read More…
