Mexican Tequila

Filed under: Miscellaneous — Ankur Aggarwal @ 6:38 am

Today I discovered that a proper Tequila shot is supposed to be consumed with Sangrita and salt and lime. So they design them to look exactly like the Flag of Mexico.

A truly Mexican way of drinking this famous Mexican drink. No wonder Tequila that does not come from Mexico does not taste the same.

I don’t like Asian people

Filed under: Thoughts, Travel — Ankur Aggarwal @ 6:15 am

On my second day in France, one of my European friend with whom I was doing a group work declared that “I don’t like Asian people!”
I calmly asked him “Why do you feel so?” while mentally I was clenching my fist and saying “WTF! How dare you say bad things about my people?”
Later from his 5 min long explanation I could realize two things:
Firstly for him only Orientals were Asians.
Secondly, he knew I was from India and even though he knew that India was a part of Asia, he did not consider me an Asian.
This reminds of an episode by Peter Russels who was also making fun of this definition of Indians. Every second in France is like a whole new experience, where I am either breaking one of my myths or learning something new.
