I loathe Calibri, the default font that comes with Microsoft Office. Arial isn't much better. MS should have paid up for Helvetica years ago
The car hit me on Tannery Road when he couldn't brake in time, maybe at 10km/h or so, no damage done, and he did apologize profusely.
The biker hit me at low speed near Banashankari Temple and didn't apologize so I had to hit his bike with mine to teach him some manners.
In Bangalore, if you're considerate to pedestrians and yield to traffic,you're going to get hit from behind. A bike and a car hit me today.

I'm getting tired of following certain people who post over 50 or 100 inane tweets every. single. day. Their tweets obscure the good tweets.

The guy selling guavas from a bicycle seemed grateful when I refused the plastic bag he gave me to carry 2 guavas. I felt good and green too

Had a nice trip to Kaveri Fishing Camp at Galibore with Mukund, Bopanna and Richie. Didn't go fishing or boating though. No permission.

And when you tell them politely that they need to stand in queue like everyone else,they act surprised or shamelessly say they're in a hurry
I'm getting tired of seemingly-educated, well-dressed guys trying to cut in front of me at the petrol bunk, darshini restaurants, in traffic
The sooner Indian men learn that it's not a sign of weakness to politely stand in queue and await their turn, the sooner India will develop.

Domino's & Pizza Hut in India put barely half an olive's worth of topping on their pizza. Try that in the US and you'll be facing mad diners
Levis jeans in India also have only 5 belt loops, unlike the ones I used to buy in the US which have 7 belt loops for better fit and support
Levis jeans in India come with shallow pockets that one can't even put half of one's hand inside them. I had to get mine tailored to rectify
It's deceptive of them to not mention that their burgers don't come with cheese, and a slice of their artificial crappy cheese costs Rs. 15
McDonald's India treats cheese like it's totally unneccesary on a burger. Try selling burgers in the US without cheese, then watch the fun!
Every time I pass a biker with a "Deloitte" sticker on his bike, I can't help but think he works for "Toilet & Douche", the poor sap.
