Few Interesting Comments from family/friends/colleagues/strangers over the past two years of my stay in the States:


East Coast Folks: California, woh! I havent been there. Its like a different country......I wonder how it would be to go there......I am told they have a lot of earthquakes there....

Another East Coast Guy who has been traveling, once in two weeks to SoCal for a project: Now that I am traveling and seeing the world................Response from someone at the table: Traveling the world! Jeez, You first need to get a passport....!!

Dry Cleaning Lady at Virginia: Zip code? Me: 92626. Wow what are you doing here? Dont they have dry cleaners there? !!

Security Personnel at the airport: ID please? Me: Heres my Drivers Licence. Him: Texas, eh? Hows the weather there now? Me: I dont know, I dont live there any more. Him: So where do you live now? Me: Umm, Actually, I dont know! Seattle, Chicago, Orange County or DC. Him: Guard, I need a security check on this Asian Brother!! Me: What????

Whole Foods Clerk: Wow, so many bananas? What do you do with them? Do you go to the zoo to feed monkeys or do you have monkeys at home? Me: Well, I am the monkey!

Somebody in the Elevator talking to his friend: Man, the zoo is awesome. San Diego has the best zoo in the world. Me barging in impolitely: Which other zoos have you been to? Him: None.
