What is an interesting story about a first visit to Delhi?
I was 10 when I first visited Delhi. It was a 4-day family trip during the summer vacations which promised to be a lot of fun!We visited many of the old monuments, which were fascinating, to say the least. But I was too young to actually appreciate the beauty of what I was beholding. So my brother and I - we amused ourselves in observing the colourful flowers in the gardens, and the way the dogs curled up around water sprinklers to keep cool in the hot May sun.But one place we were really excited to visit was the Children Amusement park Appu Ghar. Back then there was this system of wristbands which cost a particular sum of money, and if you had them on your wrist, you could take any ride you liked any number of times. I remember they were costly then, so my parents didn't enter - they just bought two for us kids (my brother was barely 6 then, so I was supposed to be his guardian), and for the first time in our lives, we were on our own!I remember we had LOADS of fun, played around to our heart's content. It was when we were waiting in line to get on one of the water rides, when some guys who were a lot older than us got talking - first to my kid brother, and then me. Our conversation went something like this :Random guy : "Hi kid, so where are you from?"Kid Brother : (Mouth stuffed with chocolate) AssamRandom guy : Eh, what? Where?Kid Brother : Assam.Random guy : Where is it? Never heard of it?Me : (Acting all mature and taking control of the situation) He means Assam. It's a state in the North Eastern region of India.Random guy : (Confused) North East? Where?Me: Have you heard of West Bengal? Assam is near that, but only to further East.Random guy : Oh Bengal? (To his friends) They are from Bengal. Then one of the guys bent over and pulled my brother's (already puffed with chocolate) cheeks and said "Bongali babu, Roshogulla khabe?" (which translates : Bengali Babu, will you have some Rasgulla? - which is again (an extremely tasty, I must add) Bengali delicacy)I had a really short temper when I was young, and flared up instantly : Assam is an independent state. It's not a part of West Bengal!But by then our turn had come, and we never saw those guys again!And that was how my first experience in a place like New Delhi was! I had never been out of Assam before, and it surprised me that grown-ups didn't even know that a state existed by this name! I was only 10 then, but I prided myself on my knowledge of Geography!
What is the most awkward question asked to you in a restaurant while eating?
I still can’t digest that insult! :pBack in 2016 I was in Hyderabad at that time. One fine eve 3 of us(my frnds) decided to go for dinner and let’s try a new place. So we decided to go Vera Pizzeria, they serve all kind of Italian food. Since, it was sunday it was crowded.I really don’t like chicken or meat on pizza toppings though I am a pure non-vegeterian( and I don’t know why?). Since the serving style of Vera Pizzeria is somewhat similar to Barbeque Nation food chain. So I preferred veg Platter instead of non-veg, my other friend preferred non-veg.To my wonder waiter served * Tangdi kabab * to my friend, here is the picture just for reference.Ohh dear lord! how can I resist myself from this piece of love ? How?Haha, after seeing my expressions my friend offered me to taste it and I took a piece of tangdi kabab, put that on my plate and just started enjoying its taste.And a waiter came to me and said “ Mam, aap ye kaise kha sakte ho ? aapne vegeterian plate lia tha. Sorry mam aap nai kha skte ye humare hotel me allow nai hai”.“ Mam how can you eat that? You took vegeterian plate. I am sorry mam you can not eat it. It’s not allowed here”He was so loud and clear, All handsome guys who were sitting near by my table heard that :(I was thinking * Dude I just took a piece to taste it and if my friend doesn’t mind sharing food then who the hell are you? He is not Joey Tribbiani from friends. *I kept quite and was just about to say something, but the manager popped out from somewhere in his rescue and apologized. But out of ego I asked him to change my veg-platter to Non-veg :p . I should have left the place after this but manager was really sorry for this and food was really yummy. :pI still can not forget that day, how embarrasing it was infront of all those guys :(
By 25 years old, what are the minimum achievements you should have in life?
1. A FULL TIME job. You should be working full-time. You don't necessarily have to be earning a living wage by 25, but you should be working full-time. You should be experiencing what it is like out in the working world, and getting real world work experience under your belt. Then you will be in a much better place to get a good paying job.2. Relatively Independent. You should probably not be living with your parents at age 25. Have roommates, at least. No excuse for a 25 year old to be living at mom and dad's house. By the time someone is 25, they should be well on the path the self-sufficiency. If you can't afford it, then start thinking about what you really need vs. what you really want, in terms of expenses. It's hard to be independent, but you learn quickly and it's well worth it in the end.3. If you are living with your parents, then you need to be contributing to the household. Doing your own laundry, making your own meals, paying for your expenses and helping with house costs. You're far too old to have your parents do everything for you.4. You begin to realize that you don't want to stay up late and party. It starts to no longer You realize your responsibilities. You start taking responsibilities seriously.5. Probably a college degree. Now days it's really hard to get a reasonable job without a college degree. The job market is highly competitive across nearly all fields. A college degree is required now for jobs that really don't need one. Employers have really tightened their hiring practices and requirements they are seeking aren't necessarily needed to do the job.6. Someone already mentioned this, and I agree. Having integrity at your age is key. You're too old to be making excuses. To be dishonest. Start being accountable for your actions. Take responsibility for yourself. If you make a mistake, own up to it.
