Thinking out Loud.............

Did you know that one billion people live in India? Of that one billion, 300 million are illiterate (that's the population of the United States). There are more millionares in India then there are in United States....


You have to wear a "Langote" (special disposable underwear) when receiving a massage at my hotel...You ask what's a "Langote"...Well you know what the Summo Wrestlers wear...Thank goodness no pictures are being taken....However, you can get 60 minutes for $30 or so...That could explain why I have been getting two massages a week.

Process...If you go to eat or to the grocery store in India its a process...The only way you get your bill is if you get up and walk out....If your hungry you better go 30-45 minutes before you realize your even hungry....

Today I was a part of a meeting in India that included Seniors and Above...The Seniors were receiving a Market Adjustment (Salary Raise) and all they were concerned about was, if the staff were going to receive one to...What a difference from the United States...If you held the same meeting in the United States no one would be worried about anyone else except for themselves. We are definitely spoiled in the United States....Its a race out there....Here, they challenge themselves to get ahead. In the United States we challenge ourselves to make more contacts to get ahead....Honestly, we better get our act together.....

Southern India - Vegetarians
Northern India - Meat

Cricket - These matches last for 3 days....That must be one heck of a party....I must attend a match before I leave....

Sign at the office "No Tailgating" - I'm still trying to figure out what this means....

Clubbing means "combining" in India...Pass out means "I passed a test or I passed out of school"

No tail gating means when you go through the security doors on each floor everyone has to swipe their own id badge. No running through the door based upon someone else's "swipe"/
