What India Wants from You

What India wants dgrobinson

Just 5 minutes Madam

Kindly be on line

Can you adjust a little?

You should lower your expectations

It will be just 5 more minutes

Would you like some tea coffee?

It’s better if you do it this way

We are all the same, no?

Forget about yesterday

Can you move a bit more?

Only 5 more minutes

The first quote was not inclusive of these additional charges

Forget about the future

I think you are liking it here, no?

It will be a few more days

Please have a seat

Can you adjust a little more?

Sir, please wait 2 minutes

Let me check on that and get back to you

See, India is a very nice place, yes?

You should lower your standards a little bit

Please give up

It will be just 2 minutes

Anything else I can assist you with?

Oh, and then there is the deposit which you must pay

You are liking Indian food, yes?

More tea coffee?

Just 1 minute…
