So it was fun ...I've never been out of India... So it was fun to read all the new stuff you've learned there... I have friends who are in US and one thing that a friend mentioned was that they have different sections for different hobbies or interests in the supermarkets. Like you will get baking stuff to fishing stuff under one roof and everything is organised well. It's changing here in India but I don't think the market is more hobby sensitive here... I mean I get wool n crochet thread from a small shop which is located at a very hard to access lane in Bangalore, while I live in Kerala. <br /><br />I always heard my mom say that we need a dish washer, every time our help didn't show up. I always imagined it to be like a box with hands inside that scrubbed and cleaned the plates... kids imagination... On a serious note after reading this...I would really love to get one. If I tell my husband about this he might ask me to top reading blogs... LoL<br /><br />I hate toilets without the bum showers...I can understand it's a different way of cleaning in another country but in India too they do that in the high end hotels...I mean maintaining international standards is all good but when in India behave like Indians. Let the foreigners experience themselves that nothing cleans your arse like a water spray... LoLAnishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12280488355660450649noreply@blogger.com
