Hey...

has anyone ever had a converasation with a cabbie about 3G cellphones and the BBC? try it out...you'll be more than surprised with what they know!

heres a sample:

Cabbie: "Saab, you have heard of internet?"
Moi: "Yes, i have a connection at home"
Cabbie: "Well saab i was thinking if the 3G cellphones come to India, soon, maybe the computer wont sell so much!"
Moi: *staring open mouthed*
C: Yes, Saab...you see, with everyone having these 3g Vg cellphones, computers will become too much big!"
M: *still staring open mouthed*
C: "See Saab, this 3 G technology naa, it means that i can have fast internet in my hand! Why do i need big computer at home then!
M: *beginning to regain control of my jaw*
C: "Saab, are you there? Saab, are you feeling sick?"
M: "No, no....was a little lost in my thoughts...sorry...!"
M: How do you know about 3 G technology?
C: I was watching BBC Saab. They have good programs!
M: Yes, yes they do dont they!
C: Saab, but i dont like them too much, they are all seeming like they have disease of the mouth!"
M: *struggling to hold back raccous laughter..*....what do you mean?
C: well Saab, they are all talking like they have thier mouth made of steel, they dont move their mouth when they talk!

I tried to joke that that was probably because of their notoriously bad dental conditions...but held back on that one!

He then proceeded to tell me about his three sons, 1 daughter (his pride and joy as he called her), his very boisterous wife and his evil, witch-like mother in law!

Hey who says their lives are any different..! Eh?!?!?

Try it once in a while...if not for the sake of having a cool conversation...to entertain yourself...these guys have opinions on everything...believe me! Probably from all the time they spend talking to themselves coz they have no one else to do that with!

Cheers...
