They Make 'Em Good In Gujirat

Today at the laundromat, I cut my thumb while loading the washer. Too fast, too clumsy, too much, too soon.

And not a damn band-aid in sight. I managed to finish without any bloodstains on my clothes and headed to the corner grocery store. There, the friendly neighborhood Indian store-owner not only sold me a reasonably-priced box of Chinese bandages, he even wrapped the band-aid on my thumb, itself. How cool is that ? Don't know what his name is, but I call him Gujirat - for the region of India that is his birthplace. And I wanted to say "Thank You" in Hindu/Urdu/WhatDo/Whatever.

FACTOID : Compassion is the number one export from the Indian state of Gujirat.
