Example here:<BR/><BR/>I go to this Apollo clinic and to my chagrin they leave the main door open (prolly to save on A/C costs). This allows the dust to come in and also noise. After much debate I asked them to close, nothing convinced them ... until I said the cost of electricity is included in the doctor's fees I pay.<BR/><BR/>Funnily, previous to these visits, I found the noise/dust uncomfortable but ignored it thinking ki chalo at least it's clean from inside. <BR/><BR/>It's hard to kick the old habit of "theek hai yaar" but sooner/later it's gonna go away.Indus Khaitanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01045798841132619140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10653577.post-66889958682452523842009-03-24T09:27:00.000+05:302009-03-24T09:27:00.000+05:30Nah, we're the middle class.

We do our funky things, but in the space that's allowed to us.<BR/>If someone pushes a little, we shrink the boundaries - "Oh that place/area/activity is dangerous - avoidable." "Why invite trouble".<BR/><BR/>Its happened over the ages. Will take time, or a few major incidents, to start changing. Just pray its not you before that change starts happening.sameerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832302260129482241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10653577.post-66816878961825638722009-03-24T09:23:00.000+05:302009-03-24T09:23:00.000+05:30Something happens late night after dark on a desol...Something happens late night after dark on a desolate stretch of road, and you can still make yourself believe that maybe we ventured out at the wrong place at the wrong time. But MG Road and Millers Road and at THAT time of the day? What are we? A society of Hijras? Maybe I'm not politically correct with the usage of that term, but that's what came to my mind when I read this news. Its unbelievable as well as ridiculous how the educated class just stood there as mute spectators. Why doesn't anyone get into the mob mentality in this kind of situations and beat the hell out of a couple of low lives?shreelesh kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135605018053243709noreply@blogger.com
