Most frequent cause of weirdness is people thinking one is hitting on them. <BR/><BR/>The Qkumar charm puts such people all the more on their guard.

LOL!<BR/><BR/>You know I've often said thank you to yelaneer vendors, bus drivers, auto drivers, saree house door men & most them usually really appreciate a thank you. They smile & they nod their heads & its sweet. I was bullied to get on a train once & when I woke up I said good morning & smiled at the guy on the bunk next to us. He's the only weird reaction I've ever gotten. He ignored me completely & acted as if I was hitting on him or something.<BR/>Hahaha, that said, I'm always telling people off for cutting queues in India, or like pushing past me to get in an elevator. Some get angry, some just stare at me. Sigh...whole different world India is.lavender tulips【ツ】https://www.blogger.com/profile/03672376431302826255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15839043.post-81106078209966621422008-06-03T21:35:00.000+04:002008-06-03T21:35:00.000+04:00[Lavender T.] - Aww. {Blushes}.

I concede that I've a rather high fun to expenditure ratio. :-).<BR/><BR/>[Harish] - I think one needs a sli thick skin to pull off unconditional politeness in India - mainly to resist prospects of being considered stupid.

That's one thing that I have tried to learn and 'implement' 'back here'. For starters, I try to wish everyone that I meet in the office in the morning. People seem to like that and invariably they do leave the elevator with a smile which can either mean that they like it or think I'm stupid!Harish Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431334794143541484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15839043.post-30721244559461597002008-06-02T21:35:00.000+04:002008-06-02T21:35:00.000+04:00[Lavender T.] - Yes, twas massive fun!
