Ok, chill, I’ll be right back to Goa but now can’t hold enough to talk about “How am I feeling in this new world” ????
Speaking of this new world, it’s as exciting to me as a infant bird’s first flight… it may not be a take off in first attempt but the baby still enjoys it and try again to open up wings with better effort this time & finally up in the sky…..
This is the world where 90% of the population doesn’t understand my lingo, they don’t look like me, they are not vocal at all, they are little strict towards rules….. this is the world where you cook to eat, you re-cook the leftovers to eat again , this is the world where you won’t even get to see your neighbors, where TV doesn’t mean star plus by default , where you get in the queue to catch your bus (that too a bus without conductor)…
But Yes, this is world where things are systematic enough to leave an impression on you, when you visit a governmental deptt. they are prompt enough to tell you, how much time exactly will it take to serve your request and they complete it in time. This is a world where people don’t understand me but they are still prompt enough to help me finding out Indian stuff in the super market. It’s a place where they don’t reserve seats in the train instead they promptly request you to leave the seat for someone who requires it more then you… It’s a place where local style cooked food is so good that I never visit Indian style food stalls…(of course except Tuesday and Thursday)
It’s a place where, colleagues don’t pay bumps on your ass if you get a new laptop but still they are fun enough to go out for a cup of tea and look around for chicks …(guys we have a national university near by, to enjoy colorful faces )….
All and all Singapore is a fun place but I am missing, I missing everything all I said …….
