so far
there are five things i learned in London. it is not new but hell, it is a worthwhile experience. So far i learned how to
1)Use Knife and Fork- I hate formal affairs. anything that involves, black and white and anything that needs a lot of grooming and well behaving. and much more i hate using knife and fork for such occasions of formal dinner and business dinners. but when i came here, it came off naturally-i suck at it! but the only way to be here is to live here, which basically means do what the locals do, and eventually you’d be in a position you really hate, as for me its behaving well.
2)Use Chopsticks Galore- The world is a diversified place yet as time goes by it starts to become smaller with such multi cultural dimension flourish. and as everything progress the world becomes a thing in a palm where everything is shortened and could and might collide without any intention for destruction. there is no better way than being prepared, so the use of sticks for keeping connected and full is the way to be. the only way to have an eastern friend close is by customizing yourself with knowledge and culture he/she knows. it is not acquiring culture but rather understanding differences. cause one theory is correct in your place and it will be totally wrong in other place.
3)Read IdioT- In a place like this where everything is fast, the only way to catch up is not by speeding up, but by reading up and bearing in mind the essential importance of learning. it is never a mistake to learn more and if you dont know do not speak , the more you talk with empty words the more you will sacked for deeper embarrassment. a single tiny knowledge doesnt make one a genius. but a hungry mind that is feed through reading is more powerful than a nuclear bomb.dont ask me why.
4)Say Thank You Ingrate- Gratitude and being polite is one of your gateway to success. for every good deed is rewarded, may not be financially but by some other things. Karma for my Hindu friends. and little by little i am beginning to seek the better side of the road with a little thank you and welcome for everything. and oh a little prayer wont hurt too.
5)Mind the gap- this goes well with my learning number three. reading and minding what you read could be a lethal combination for survival. but this does not apply only to physical structures this could be applied even to people around you. the basic reality of this place is that the only person you could trust is yourself. mind the gap especially when you know you are in a hunting game and you are the prey.. watch your back and if its itchy scratch it.
mau
MALAYa!
