A question...
Am hoping some RNRIs will write in. When things don't go your way in India - the gas is out, the maid doesn't show up, traffic -- what do you do? Is there a magic thing I can say or do to keep from getting so angry and cursing a whole country instead of that piece of the puzzle...

Cream cheesy
My uncle can get cream cheese for Rs150. I haven't been able to find it for under Rs190.
I got into a fight the other day with a store manager about this (the same place my uncle got his) and after racking up a Rs1147 bill, I was furious that they wouldn't take 1100. I literally threw down the bag and walked away in tears. And then I prowled through INA market, a stinky, smelly, cracked-sidewalk-kinda joint, and couldn't find cream cheese for under Rs250. Finally, I just bought the Amul brand for Rs35 and felt better about life.
Naya saw her second movie in a theater in her short little life -- The Simpsons. She liked it but she said she liked Cheeni Kum and Amitabh Bachchan better. Her first movie, incidentally, was Born into Brothels. I took her when she was about four months old and in a stroller.
