Boy to a MAN in a Minute

Well this would be an interesting culturally
Drinking is not a taboo in India but its general form of respect not to drink in front of ur parents.So me being a good boy had never told my parents that i was drinking when i was India .So that kind of drinking meant that drinking half a bottle of beer getting back home after having an nice meal.
This generally worked fine for me until i left my motherland .My parents obviously suspected that i would drink but they never asked and i never answered
Igonrance is blisss!!!! .It certainly is

But in my adopted country it was a completely different story. Frequent night out with my mates i found out it was easier t socialise if u at least go to the pub,Better if u drink
Well when i met my dad in Paris .I was glad to see him of course and himself and his mates we went to a local cafe
Since i knew some french i was to order whiskeys for them me being Indian inspite of being in europe for so long
The English translation of the order goes like:
Can i have 3 whiskey's and 1 cappuccinos please.These people who have a generation gap bear in mind they have just heard of cappuccino They usually drink coffee or tea.
One of my fathers friend tried to understand wht i was saying and caught the fact that i had ordered something different .He assumed that it was a drink as well and asked me what have u ordered and he knew that cappuccino is a caffeine based drink.
So he told my father who tried to be friendly and said, Hey its ok u are a man now u can have a drink.Me being conservative had a beer and nothing else.
TATS IT FOR NOW
Adios
