I suppose Richie Rich will die out of frustration after seeing people around here(In Brussels). Now don't ask me who Richie Rich is, if you don't know than its awesome. BTW if not he, definitely I will soon and if not then Once I will be back in India, I will be called a hell of spendthrift.
- Taxi Drivers are so rich that they drive Mercedes which cost a whooping 40 Lakhs Rupees in Indian currency and you can see the car only in posh area with affluent people in India. And Taxi driver will definitely be dead next day with Car gone in parts across the globe if he is caught using Mercedes as a Taxi, and moreover why he will be a taxi driver if he have enough money to buy Mercedes. ;-)
- What a pity, Mercedes are used as a TAXI!!! India at the max if people will think they can take only Tata Indica and recently Logan as a Taxi.
-Finally I came to know what Burger Index is, you can definitely judge the spending power of people and even economy too on the basis of Burger cost. 7 Euro's for Burger!!! Think in Indian currency and you will die out of horror thinking to eat a 500Rs Burger on a road side shop(definitely I am not talking about 5 star hotels).
- Beggars? I am thinking if I should call the people who are asking as beggars here. It will be a dream come true for an Indian Beggar to get a Job as a beggar in Brussels. What a life!!! Even I think a mid-level s/w employee in Indian firm would like to have such a fantastic life of Beggars which are here. Have you ever seen the beggars who are sipping beers and having french fries asking for alms and that too in nice cloths? They made me think that if there is a PROFESSIONAL uniform for Beggars too. Come to Brussels you will see that. Even I envy them now, getting 40-50 euro daily(tax free) with french fries is not a bad job where I don't have to do anything ;-)
- On hearing that I am from India, first think they say is.. aaha!!! TajMahal, bloody hell!!! I have never seen real TajMahal and they are mentioning it as they are using it as their home and are acquainted well with it. But guess this is how people start the converstaion anywhere in the world. If you are within the boundary of the colony.. aaha!!! You are in that house, and then boundary of town comes with comment.. aaha!!! that colony? And like I stay in Bangalore and always used to get the comment on saying I am from Bihar... aaha!!! Lalu Parsad Yadav as if Lalu Yadav is her/his chum.. Guess - 'that house', 'that colony' and 'Lalu Parsad Yadav' are replaced by 'TajMahal' till the time I am here in Brussels!!! And to be honest - I just love it. ;-)
Well well well.. don't think that's the only thing I came here to see, but I am not writing any travelogue. So definitely not going to mention the places, its just the people and their behavior comes in my list for writing.
- More of funny comments to come, so keep reading!!! Will be back soon..
Note:- You may see grammatical mistake, spelling mistake here and there because I am not editing anything and posting whatever coming in my mind. So its kinda an unabridged version and you shouldn't complain but if its blunder do post it in comment area which will NOT be corrected definitely. ;-)
