  • believe me his situations are not made up...lots of indians regularly face these kind of situations...in fact one thing that happened with me is that in India we call erasers as "rubbers", obviously since we are using it to rub away what is written. When I came to the US I realized that "rubber" actually means a condom here...Luckily my friends corrected me before I made this mistake in public :)

  • once i went to a store to buy a map .. he gave me a mop...wtf!

  • pe poo...

    

  • mokka poo

  • too good :)

  • haha funny

  • he still has little bit accent

  • Every thing he mentioned happens to every other Indian new comer. And coming to his grammar, I saw many of us indians write so correctly but while speaking, with stress or tense, we tend such grammatical mistakes.

    Obvious that though he was an A student, high chance of committing mistakes.

  • " i should have left!" lol

  • nice
