More so, if you live in Bangalore, my hometown where I was born, bred and buttered. "Adjust maadi" is namma bengaluru slogan.

Agreed, being on time is something most of us here don't, but few of us, like me, are a stickler for time. I am still not sure how to change this trend in my part of the world. I have tried many ways, for eg: during college days, when our group of friends planned to meet at a place, I used to be the only one on time and wait and wait ... So, after a while, I came on time, waited for 5-10 mins Max, and left. Thereafter, everytime, one of my friends used to come on time, I thought I brought in some change. Change I did, but only partly, becos' I later found out that, just to keep me from leaving, they used to call up each other and decide, in turns, to come on time :-( > Nobody says "No" or even "Yes". I had so much trouble Maybe they did, with the typical Indian head sway (up, down and sidewards). You will not be sure if its a yes/no, but we have perfected the art of interpreting it :-) ______________ j o h n s o n www.johnson.in
