Time

Kramer: "Hey Jerry!! Would you watch my car for 2 mins ?"
Jerry declines the request and then says to George:
Jerry:"According to the time frame Kramer follows, a man should live for 2000 years."

So how many of us have experienced this. Somebody asks you to wait for 10 mins and then comes back after half an hour. Somebody, till today, use the phrase "back in 2 secs". 2 secs....

I have a good friend who would call the whole group at some place at some time and would himself appear atleast half an hour late.

On poking, he would reply: We are Indians.
I guess he was right. Partly because I didn't have a good reply to that statement except some trivial comments like we are the future of India blah blah.

I saw the same pattern among the Indian students here in US. Every ISA (Indian Student's Association) function starts atleast half an hour late. And back comes the reply from Mr.President :
'We are following the Indian Standard Time" and the public goes ha ha ha !!!

But the same ISA would hoist the flag on 15th August at the exact pre-decided time. According to the organization, hoisting flag late is an insult to the country.

hmmm !! yeah, that makes some sense.
