At Singapore in a clothing shop:
Shop Owner: Excuse me Madam, please don’t try on the
clothes here, go to the changing room!!!
Indian lady: Teek hai! Teek hai!
Shop Owners Wife: Madam, Madam, please don’t try on that lipstick,
use the trial pack please!!!
Another Indian lady: Ok, ok fine, give it to me!!!
Shop Owners Daughter: Sir, Sir, please don’t remove the comb from the cover to
comb your hair!
Indian man (shrugs): Ok!
Shop Owner (In Chinese): #@&^%$#& Indians;!!!
Half an hour later the Shop Owner, Wife and Daughter have
their hair standing on ends, are taking generous swigs of antacid and looking
flustered, not necessarily in that order. They are also panting due to the
combined effort of after running around the shop after various Indian
customers.
One hour later:
Indian lady walks to the cash counter with 10 tops, 5 pairs
of shoes, cosmetics and perfumes.
Other Indian lady buys 5 tee shirts, 8 pants, 3 dozen underwear
and 3 bottles of cologne.
Indian man shoves his shopping bag of some half a dozen
pants, shirts, socks, handkerchiefs, ties, and other sundry items onto the
billing counter. And so do others.
Shop Owner (in English): We luvvvv Indians!! Such nice people...

Market dynamics indeed, also good to know that you are alive, Indian Economy.
O-M-G!! Silverine! You are back!! It's been ages!! So very happy to read your latest blog! Hope you are doing great! And M too (Yeah, I am one of those anonymous crazy unabashed M fans, LOL)!
One of my colleagues made fun of my "Mallu" accent. Generally, I laugh off such things. But yesterday, I lost my cool totally. So today I thought maybe it's time I should revisit some of your older blogs of "Gelf" and "Ungles and Anties" that I can cool off and be able to laugh off such things (Malayalees' very own quirky Mallu traits) as I used to earlier! And lo! There is new blog! Thanks! As always, you are a pleasure to read! And this latest one def cheered me up!
P.S. Warmest regards to M :P Fingers crossed that he's still single and ready to mingle, ROFL!
After a looong break!
After a long break, huh?

yay, new post!! Happy New year.

Wow, you're back after two years! I was just thinking the other day how Facebook seems to have killed independent blogs..yours was one of several I've missed!
That's a long hiatus! Good to have you back.
Have you been travelling? Or relocated to Singapore?
