As Srin said, we went to the super market. The old habits of taking things from the US to India because it can’t be found there is no longer useful! They have everything and in fact probably have more than the US! So, since we were there, I decided to think opposite and try to find something we can’t get in the US instead. Looked all around and really could not found anything so decided to stick to some chocolate that said “India”, which I’m sure can’t be found in the US. Bought the biggest bar which was like a foot and a half long!
Stood in line to check out. Was a long line so a long wait … but was worth it because I found something I can’t get in the US! My turn to checkout came and I put my stuff on the belt to check out standing in front of the cashier … all of the sudden some old lady came from nowhere and walked right in front of me, casually put her stuff in front of my chocolate, looked me in the eye and proceeded to check out! It’s not like there was space in front of me either … there literally was no space, she actually rubbed up against me to take that spot! I suppose that is accepted. I was thinking to myself, must have been her family who cut in front of me 3 times on the plane for the restroom! This time I had had it with all this blatant rudeness and knocked her out with my elbow! Apparently, that is not accepted?! I was arrested and thrown into jail!
Okay, a slight exaggeration … I didn’t knock her out and just stood there like a punk and let her take the spot. Apparently, I looked that way too because the cashier gave me a look that I comprehended as “ooohhh …. you just got told boy!"
But at least I had gotten my Indian chocolate. I went to open it to share with everyone and Ramesh reads and says … “oh cool, you bought Italian chocolate!” I read the name again and this time I read it correctly as the brand “Indie”.
Great … none of the objectives were met
1) Get something Indian that can’t be found anywhere else… an X to that
2) Don’t be punked out by a 60 year old women … an X again!
I'm 0 for 2.
