It is so confusing !

Like every normal college student, I feel more and more distracted from my curriculum as the exams trudge closer. So like no other normal college student , I thought I should write. Having just watched back to back episodes of "Comedians in a Car having Coffee" I thought I should write something Jerry style. Something about "Nothing".

I love Jerry Seinfeld. Everybody does I believe. I too wanted to write about funny things around me. But I think he got there before me ;) And then when I came to the US, I realized that there are many people writing about things around them that seem really funny . I cannot write a series because there already is a series about "Nothing", so I thought I could blog about "Nothing".

I went to get some coffee sometime back. It was pipping hot. I had asked for cream in my coffee and the good old lady had added hot cream in my coffee. I, being from India, am very confused by many things in the US. And I have to confess this, after having stayed here for just over 14 months now, this was the first time I really had hot coffee. The thing is , for some reason, everyone here thinks they have to add ice to the cream they serve. I mean, your coffee is bad enough! Do you have to make it worse by adding cold cream. 

Also, for some reason, people here call ,what we call milk in India, cream. I mean don't people know that all the cream in the milk is piled up in the supermarket rack in the form of [so-called] cheese. When my mother first saw this "cream", she was like why did you add milk to water! Mind you not water to milk. One must understand the most "water-added" milk in India is thicker than the whole milk here. Back at home, the milk is still available with some amount of water but in otherwise unaltered form. Then when you boil the milk there forms a thick layer of , what we call and I hate , "cream".

That reminds me people don't boil milk here. I mean don't you think there could be germs or bacteria in the milk which would die if you boil them? Sorry , I come from a country where we boil our water before we drink and overcook our veggies and meat before we eat. But again , if you could drink coke for water and need corn syrup in everything, what can I say , I am not be surprised!
