American Lunch

I have been having veggie American lunch for past 1 month or so since I came here in Minnesota.
Not much options are there for a vegetarian. But I am liking and now used to having a sandwich at Subway,Wendy or Quiznos along with differnt flavours of chips with a Pop(Amercian Name ) for softdrink. I generally I go with diet Pepsi or Coke....

I go along with my Managers and Seniors here, discuss some new topic everyday and come back and ofcourse I never forget to a have refill of Pop.

Once a week I happen to go to Taco bell(Mexican fast food joint). I like Burritos and chalupas for two reasons. First they are served warm(unlike sandwiches) and some what similar to having rajma with bit a salt and pepper wrapped in chappati roll.

Indians love having hot meals.. While American fast food lunches are generally cold and top of it you have chilled pop with ice... I could not fathom why inspite of living in such cold places, people are used to having cold lunches......while Indians living in hot country love to eat hot food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got one of answers that you love to eat hot food in hot regions as it helps you cool down as you perspire more!!!!

Any scientific or otherwise answers you can think of !!!!!!!!!!!

Are Indians Opinionated about Marraiges??

One of the person asked me recently that Are Indians opinionated about marriages??????

At the first thought I didn't have instant answer...some how tried to give some logic about our family traditions and marraige chemistry........

But do we have such image in outsiders eyes about our realtionships and marraiges???
I feel we(Indians) are still very much an exclusive group...and the we are more inward looking than outward which make people's scratch their heads to ask such queries!!!!!!

14th Feb

So The days of expression of love, day when you want to say to someone that somebody loves you and care for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was special day!!Everybody was excited about the day I would say ladies were more excited than Men(couple of ladies were beautifully dressed In Red)....
But for me(in spite of being youngest in office) it was sadly same day as any another day!!!


In India, people generally associate the day with youngsters, but over here in US its part of every body's life irrespective of whether you are Seniors,Middle aged,young or a school kid. everyone has a special meaning of the day!!!!!!

I was surprised to know that kids celebrate valentines day a schools. They distribute candies and cards to all other kids in class....They have some programs in schools as well.....

Probably Since celebrations of love start at tender age, the celebration of love continues through out life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Opposite American Ways

I wonder how things are so opposite in US than rest of world.
Let me enumerate few:
Americans call a Petrol Station as Gas Station.
Americans call a Curd as Yoghurt
The switch in On status means off here
Most parts of US are quite cold, still evrybody loves to drink Coke with Ice....
The Plug points are totally different...
people drive on right...
Keeping guns is legal in world most advanced legal system...

At the moment I cud think of these points....
Most of Americans origins are in Europe, But Here they created systems which are totally different and unique than their origins.........

Is it coincidence or some conscious strategy!!!!!!

Google search can also give errors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hard to believe, but Yes, search at times is not completed by Google!!!
