MFEO

I was made for India. Mostly for “Indian Time.” If white people love being excessively early, Indian people love disregarding time completely. If somehow- by a miracle of God- I managed to show up on time for a programme (rarely), I am met with stare of awe and astonishment- and the favored India question of “what happened to you?” Regardless of my timely arrival, the programme generally starts half an hour to forty-five minutes after the original set time. If I show up late (routinely) not a single person bats and eye- no one is stressed or agitated, taping their foot and checking their watches, or stressed on account of my lateness or the lateness of others. Programmes start when they start and end when they end. Sheer perfection. Pretty sure life is supposed to be this way- free from the stress and hassle of our American overly scheduled lives. So good. So freeing.
