For Girls Only

That India is daunting, especially to new-comers, is only all too apparent in the face of the new volunteer who has come to offer further support, moral or otherwise, to those of us already stranded here in the jungle. But one must not forget that it also gives ample opportunity for a smile, or even a laugh. As the other day, when my undeniably male co-volunteer, hardly believing his good luck, practically stormed a shop where he had spotted the unmistakable “Kellogg’s” trademark.
Please, use your imagination when picturing the look on the poor boy’s face when he was told by the nonplussed sales-girl, in all seriousness and wearing a slight expression of shock, that “Kellogg’s Special K” was for girls only.
How can you not love a country like this, even if it can make you cry sometimes?
