Yogic workaholic??

You know you have been living in India for a very long time when... 

You insist your colleague organise yoga classes in the office.  

 

You go to the yoga class on a Friday evening – not just any Friday, it is a closing day (for my sales). But you go anyway because you need to do a little exercise and to relax: in the past two days, despite the jet lag and a huge work load inherited from a week of business travelling in Europe, you have had to spend 8 hours in the car to encourage your teams in the warehouse located in the freaking suburbs.  

But today is a closing day and you have a professional conscience so you keep your blackberry within reach. 

 

So you know that you have been living for a very long time in India when at 7 pm on a Friday evening you are on all fours on your office floor (in the "cow" position for yogics), the phone stuck to your ear and you negotiate a last minute promotion (and this slightly edgy bargaining continues in other exotic positions...).

Traffic police in Kolkata

I met a policeman who looked like this in Kolkata:

India,Kolkata,cop,uniform,straps,white,balls 

I could not take a picture but I noticed something very special. Apart from the fact that he looked like a Village People with his plastic straps, the crotch area was brownish!India,Kolkata,cop,uniform,straps,white,balls

This is what happens when you give a white uniform to Indians who, as we all know, love scratching their balls... And they must be spending a lot of time doing it when you see the mess that happens the moment a cop replaces a traffic light!

Where I will demonstrate that the human being is not (inherently) good...

I did a test and asked foreigners who have stayed in India their reaction when they cross this kind of disabled people in the streets of Mumbai (I did say the streets, not the sidewalks (because there is none)).

The first reaction: "Oh my God the poor man! How is it possible? It's too horrible! »

The second reaction: “But can’t he circulate somewhere else?? I can’t believe it, he is creating traffic!! A real public danger... »

This is awful...
