PROMPT November 5th

You arrive at work today with five donuts and five coffees for the people who are scheduled to be there. But you have a problem. Counting you, six people are there, and all of you love coffee and donuts! How do you and your friends resolve this?


Ha ha ha ha ha!
This is where we Indians, and especially we Bangaloreans, steal a march over the rest of you folks! *Rolling*

For us, this wouldn't be a problem at all. Our culture is geared to sharing with as many people as are there, be they expected or unexpected. We have this system in restaurants called 'by two coffee', and even 'by three coffee' The coffee is served in a steel glas, with a smaller steel class as a lid. Should someone else need to drink, the lid becomes another glass. Three people? Easy, use the saucer. In the office, they'd simply use the office cups for the extra people.

Donuts would simply be divided as best they could. Each would be cut into two or three and the pieces shared as equitably as possible.

So — yeah, what was the question again? *Wink*


PS: On a side note - wedding invites, up until a decade or so ago, were addressed to the person 'with family and friends'.

So an invite to my Dad would say:

To Mr. Arun Bhatia and family and friends

and he would actually be welcome to bring not only me along, but anyone else he happened to feel like. This is changing now, with more people becoming Westernized. Now, it's specific people and RSVPs. RSVPs were unheard of before. It was expected you'd show up and eat, what's there to inform someone about?
