follow the leader

reading all the staus messages of my friends,searching for the priceless quote to start my blog post, i came across one by gd singh. Apparently he got inspired by my blog, his status msg read "no quotes for bloggers today", so i would start this one with one of mine, "if it wasn´t for the weather, most of the people wouldnt have anything to talk about"
In germany, people talk a lot about the weather, one moment its bright and sunny, the next its dark and dreary. Right now its really hot here like 30C...wonder how folks back in india must be feeling(its 45 there i suppose)
ok.... so living in germany for two months now...will talk about the germans...
german people...or germs as i would like to call them (thnx sunni bhaiyya).... are really hardworking ... i mean they dont care about what you are doing and are really interested only in their lives...i was really dissapointed by the fact that people dont like to waste their time...back in india all we really used to do was while away our time.....
ah rules....germs really like to follow them..or atleast they wait for somebody to break them...just today i was waiting at this red light and there was no car in sight for like a kilometre or something...five or six people were also obediently waiting for the light to say go...i mean some people must have been standing there for a minute..then i thought what the heck and i crossed the damn light...the rest of the crowd as if suddenly invirogated...also followed...i mean its like follow the leader....if they see somebody doing it, they will also break the damn rule....
the trains here also follow the rules...you could actually print the schedule of the trains and without watching your watch you can actually tell the time because the trains are almost never late....
so this thing happened when we were going to berlin..(berlin was totally awesome)....we were travelling by regional trains and had a lot of connectiong ones to catch....one of our trains(to station ..dnt remember lets say ...B) actually got late by 20 min...and the next connecting train(from station B) was just 5 min after we had to get down at that station...so we thought shit we´ve missed the train...but no...they actually had the train waiting for us..they stopped it and it was still there..can you believe it??it was still there, waiting for us because almost all the people sitting in the train to B had to take the train.... thats when i actually fell in love with germany and their rules... and its really cool...

PS: ep update : zoose is a dude....roz gappe lagane aata hai

  1. ur thing abt follow the leader is really true...even germs want to break the rules..but they r a bit apprehensive in doing that alone..once they see some one else doin it..they get the surge!!!
