One thing I know about India is that school is a big thing. Which school did you go to? Parents are worried about school for kids even before the child is born. Interviews for parents. Interview for kids. Getting the "right" school becomes the most important thing in parents' life. And today in the West Gate mall in rajouri garden, I was waiting for the person infront of me to get done with his order to order my bhel puri in a small stall in the 1st floor. The guy in front of me left and I was saying "ek bhel .... " and a hand comes infront of me and the guy says " ek bhelpuri". I request the guy taking orders that I am half way through my order and he takes my order first. Then, I get my small ticket for the bhelpuri. I give my ticket to the guy making bhel puri. Then again this hand guy (whose hand was infront of me all the while I ordered my bhel puri) comes with his coupon and started making requests - theekha jyada or thoda jyaldi. For someone who is making bhelpuri one by one ... this hand guy was too pushy. For me, he looked very ill mannered. I could not control myself. He was very well dressed. And I was sure he was going to some good school. I asked him "which school do you go to" And guess what the answer was - SPRING DALE. Phew!!! ... I had thought it was a good school. If the school cannot give such simple manners then why the fuss about this school? Then I started thinking ... is it the same in all "GOOD" schools?
You must be going to a good school ... what do you say?
