Many Indian homes have either a statue or an image of Krishna, Hindu prophet.
My last journey to what was then Bombay whilst sharing some food and drinks with this gentleman he asked for some water to dilute his whisky somewhat as did I, it wasn't the food, the whisky or beer that made feel queasy but the water.
I hope our directors didn't have the same experience as I did.
Most Indian people are easy to talk to and very obliging, so obliging in fact that they would give and have given us a fair and reasonable hearing but as others have said they do take their time.
They are very patient, well they have to be because when a Brahman is on the road they have to wait until the cow or steer has completed its crossing or follow very slowly behind them.
