Inscrutable Americans

Over the last few weeks, discovered a nice way to wait for and travel in buses and trains. I have to take a bus to the metro station, and from there take the train to EPFL. Waiting times are not all much, and I can reach door to door in 30 minutes. But, there being a schedule, I found myself initially trying to follow the schedule, and rush to the bus stop just in time of the bus.
Then, like other people, I started taking my time. Leaving the house at my sweet will, book in hand. And while waiting at the stations and reading, wishing that the bus come late.

And finished The Inscrutable Americans by Anurag Mathur. It was such a funny book, about an Indian Village bum doing studies in USA for 1 year, and his experiences. Gopal, the chief protagonist had amazing insight inspite of his poor English Grammer. A quote from Gopal after watching his first American football game - they should play more of it maybe. Then they will be beating up themselves, and would not have time to beat up the world anymore. But, the end was so pathetic, so very kind of insulting, that it did not feel just right. But so many of the situations and comments I could identify with throughout the book, it was hilarious.
