With time fast running out, Mrs Dixit is seeking divine intervention.

"It appears that Lord Indra [the rain god] is unhappy with us," she said at the weekend.

"I will appeal to him to bring some sunshine. If the rain stops and sun comes out, we will be able to complete the work by 10-15 September. Otherwise we will have to extend the deadline.

"By the grace of god, we will be able to finish everything by 3 October."

Bhanot explained: "Everyone has different standards about cleanliness. The Westerners have different standards while we have different standards."

Мраморно, я считаю. В копилку потреотической мудрости.

Чеканно, да

Now he is going to make a difference again. Only this time it's different.

Да-да. А разгадка одна, но разная.

Нехудо бы это высказывание оформить в некий мем, типа.
"Все люди одинаковые, только стантарты у них разные".

Ну и распространить на мораль, бизнес, политику.
