I am fortunate, during my stay in India, that I can be in a home with an Expat family and see how a normal day operates. Really quite different than one would expect. Yes, we share the same rituals of morning, noon and evening regiments. What is so totally different and convenient is that ANYTHING can be delivered!
Need another ink cartridge....call ...delivered! Need more chairs for a party...delivered! Went to market and did not want to carry groceries....delivered! No extra charges for that service makes it even more laughable! I live in the USA and I can not even get most pizza shops to deliver to my home, and if they do, I usually pay a delivery fee. As you see from the picture, not true in New Delhi.
I have not yet experienced anything that could not be delivered here. No,is not a common reply in the Hindi vocabulary. Yet, if something could not be delivered, Expats have a driver that could run the errand! Could you imagine how much valuable time could be saved from not having to go get things you need or have forgotten. Less stressful? Not necessarily...longer days because of more things you've filled it with.
India gets it when it comes to customer service, and every day in different ways, it gets delivered!
That is SO true! EVERYTHING can be delivered!!
