Hi – The grocery store article was really funny. Is that an accurate description of what shopping is like in India?
I am from Delhi myself and yeah I have experienced all of that myself. Except for the butter. I am not sure about the butter.
And I do think the can opener will work. In the picture it doesn’t look like anything is wrong with it. Maybe it has to be oiled or something.
Its a hilarious account and very well written.
