What I learn most in India......

Yesterday started a random conversion with one of my Polish friend Barbara,
we shared lots of our views of India to the New U-59 comer Yasmina from Morocco, and what we learnt in India.I though India has trained up my negotiation skills (from rickshaw drive), cookery (from the rice-cooker), but the life-changing one for sure is : let-go attitude (together with crisis management)

I born in Hong Kong , and before I learnt how to organize things and make plans. In India, you can still organize you own things and make your own plan. But the external force from the amazing country will keep challenging your patience. To the national level India has the most delayed airport in the world #1, to the inter-state level you have trains which has 2 times: scheduled arrival and expected arrival time, to the private transport you have a rickshaw driver which always lost the ways, and at the end of the journey he will keep argue with you about the price, not to mention in business meeting someone can be late for 10 + minuters which is "normal", including those included senior meeting....

What can you do, when you detail plan being mess up with the delay of transport, the jam in traffic and late of meeting?
1. Take pictures in the environement.
2. Read Books
3. make another meeting.... and meeting :)

Let it go, Let it be.
For the life in India, for part of my past.....
