The great “Indian” attitude!
This happened during my Chennai visit. When we landed in Chennai, as there were no gates available immediately, we had to wait for ~5 minutes. There was this person sitting 3 rows in front of me, along with his wife and a kid, who also stood up to collect his things. When it took sometime for the aero bridge to be attached, he started murmuring. He had an obvious US accent, looked like some one from the Northern part of India. Couple of minutes later, his tone had become loud.
“What is happening? Why are they taking so long?”, his wife asked.
“C’mon dear, this is not Ontario. This is India”, he said, with the sarcasm turned a notch up! This really irked me. But the next statement was the icing on the cake.
“I thought things would have changed. They are the same and will never change over here”
When we stepped out in to the waiting lounge, I introduced myself to him and asked him casually about his native place in India.
“I am from [so &so place] in Punjab. I have been in Toronto for 1.5years now!!”, he said proudly.
1.5years?? He was out of India for just over an year and already he has started passing comments over how India won’t improve? What do we do with these kinda people around!?
