We dont take off plastics covers of the seats of a new car till they start to wear off on their own.
We argue over Rs.10 for the price of fare with an Autowala, but gladly tip the waiter in a restaurant the same.
We share 'katories' of food with our neighbors.
Our country runs on " Jugaar" technology.
