When the going gets tough, Indians adjust. We are so adjusting, when the British came, we said ” 200 saal ka rent agreement banega! “, but when they didn’t pay up, we still let them stay.

We adjust with everything from annoying neighbours to crazy room-mates. We use old text books from older siblings. We wear used uniforms. And most of all, we eat ” tinda !” Here are some pictures that prove we adjust a little too much.
