KP (Known person) 1 (from chennai): so you moved to pune?
Me: Yes
KP 1: So, what do u eat? Do you get RICE there??
KP2 (also from chennai): So you moved to pune?
Me: Yes
KP2: Do you get SUN TV there?
Me: Yes, on local cable network itself..
KP2: oh, I thought u need DISH to view OUR channels...
Everyone knows we get all Indian items in foreign ( I mean USA only since the word foreign covers only the USA , not even Canada can be included )
I say this because a visit to any other country is as good as staying back in India itself! (in the eyes of ur relatives, neighbourhood and the local grocer and carpenter)
Unfortunately, our people fail to understand that within India, most of the time all groceries are available. So KP1 and KP2, I still live in my country and get fruits, vegetables n groceries in abundance and at almost the same rates as in Chennai.

It is sad such questions still come up. In fact it is down right pathetic. Did you say something back?
Unbelievable!
How's Pune treating you??
But i dont find fault @ KP1 and 2 mainly bcoz,in certain parts of India you really may not get certain south indian veggies and Idli to be precise,even in Ahmedabad,it was @ scarce.
Pune is better as i have seen it.But wonderwhat,in bahrain we do get everything right from vazhai ilai to Kothu parotta.But many think that here the only available item is camel briyani
