Scene: I've just arrived in Stockholm for the first time and its my 2nd day at work. A very polite colleague is making small talk.
Colleague: So, S, did you call home and talk to your family?
Me : Oho Yeahhh!! (Lots of emphasis on the ‘H’). You don’t know my mom. She would have called the whole office asking if I reached safely and was well, if I hadn’t called her yet. So, yes.. to save you all the trouble of explaining to her that I was safe and sound and that I probably didn’t call coz I didn’t get a phonecard yet, I decided to call and speak to her!
Colleague : That’s coz she’s an Indian Mom!!
Me: ????!!!
