The shoe's on the other foot

Vivek, Anant, Clint, Ruma, Shalu in the taxi bus

Last night, Clint & I, along with Kristen & Stephanie (nursing students from Canada) took a few of our Indian friends to Pizza Hut in Dehra Dun! We all piled into a taxi bus for the 1 hour journey. Shortly after we started eating, we quickly noticed that for the first time in the past 3 weeks, it was the foreigners who were eating with their hands and the Indians who were eating with silverware. (Indians typically eat with their right hand, as their left hand is considered dirty)

Then, on the bumpy ride home, it wasn't the foreigners who got sick, but the Indians. (we've all been getting sick off and on after eating Indian food) We felt so badly for them.

Fun, whenever you say Indians...I totally know what you mean and it's correct place for the term, but I can't help picturing an old black and white Western film. Hee Hee =o)
