Sunday 12th April 2009 in London around 17:34 GMT:
That was a dread full decision of mine to go to the London Victoria Coach Station loo, As I moved ahead in the queue.. I was stopped by a wonderful looking machine which said 50 pens to move further. I reached my pocket and put a 50 Pens coin (as cool as I put a 50 Paisa coin anywhere in India) and I went ahead
As in when I started the process, suddenly the Currency Conversion calculator inside my brain ( something that always gets activated automatically when an Indian lands in any forgien sand) started giving me High alerts like a fire brigade and the following calculations started flashing in front of my eyes
50 Pens = Half a Pound
1 Pound = 76 Indian Rupees
so 50 Pens = 76/2 = 38 Indian Rupees
38 RS ! ! ! ! ! ! Rs for a pee, @##$$**
And this was haunting me through out my journey back from london to manchester until I got my share of smile when I told myself "Good, I did this in UK not in Kuwait"
