Observations so far

24 November, 2006: Some observations

We are towards completion of first week of this trip or stay. Since it was a usual office day and nothing much has happened so I though it's a good time to summarize few things.

1. No horns! I have heard horn's volume only once so far! Hey noida… are you listening… Delhi people have better horn sense but noida is crap in this regard
2. They do respect red lights, doesn't matter what's the time, what's the state. But I have seen few incidents of break-m-run incidents too.
3. Pedestrian also have red lights ;) for your information, on few red lights in India they are also installed. But there is zebra line too, have we ever cared for them?
4. People are used to stop at fair distance to stand at red lights, some 4-5 feet! No bumper to bumper drive.
5. Japs are not talkative, at least I public places. In train, I have not seen many japs talking to each other. Some do, but most of them like to stand still.
6. Most of the people in queue would be busy with their cell.
7. INTERESTING ONE – I have not seen any young guy as cleaner any where, whether its office, train, hotel or where ever. Most of cleaner you'll find would be some 50+. I don't know the reason may be young guns are always succeed to get better job!
8. No sign of poverty! Now I under stand that why that japane in Munna Bhai MBBS was taking pictures of poors ;)
9. Walk! Japs walk fair! I have not seen any proper parking place at my office thoug it can accumulate some 10-15000 people very easily. I think there must be one but for sure, 80-90% people came only through metros. Regardless of their position.
10. Skirts in girls are more common then jeans. And they do have good legs ;)
11. Girls drink; I have seen 3 drunken girls so far, doing funny acts!
12. Smoking ratios is high, unlike India; you will find smoking zone even in Mac'd!
