I went for an internship in Bangalore in one of the India ’s most reputed online retail company, Flipkart, in my 3rd year summers. Since Flipkart does not have any dress code, I used to go for work in half pants, a half T-shirt (offered by Flipkart with a logo of it on the front) and a pair of chappal.
大學(xué)三年級(jí)的夏天我去班加羅爾的一家印度最著名的網(wǎng)上零售公司Flipkart做實(shí)習(xí)生。因?yàn)镕lipkart公司沒有著裝要求,所以我總是穿一條中褲、一件半袖T恤(公司提供的前面印有公司標(biāo)志)和一雙皮涼鞋去上班。

The company used to pay me a nice amount of stipend and I decided to buy two HTC Desire 828 smart phones for my parents. I ordered them from Flipkart, and got them the next day. Now I decided to have screen covers for these two expensive gifts. In the evening while returning back from work, I went inside a mobile shop and asked the boy to put two screen covers on the phones. The boy looked at me, my Flipkart T-shirt and my chappal and then started his work. After a few minutes,
公司付給我不菲的工資,我決定給父母買兩部HTC Desire 828智能手機(jī),我從Flipkart公司里預(yù)定的,第二天就到貨了,我想去給這兩個(gè)昂貴的禮物貼膜,晚上下班回家時(shí)我走進(jìn)一家手機(jī)店,讓男店員給我的兩部手機(jī)貼膜,他看看我,看看我的FlipkartT恤和涼鞋,然后開始貼膜,幾分鐘以后,

Boy: So where are you going to deliver these ? (as if I am a delivery boy)
男孩說:“這些要送到哪兒?”(好像我是送快遞的)

Me: ummmmm…
我說:“嗯……”

I took a short pause to think why he said so.
我愣了一下,在想他為什么這樣問。

Me: These are for my parents, I bought them.
我說:“是送給我父母的,我買的?!?/div>

Boy: Oh nice.
男孩說:“嗯,不錯(cuò)?!?/div>

Another pause.
再次停頓。

Boy: So what are the new offers, that Flipkart will be offering this upcoming month?
男孩說:“那有什么新品?Flipkart下個(gè)月要上什么新品?”

I took another pause to think now why is he asking me this question.
我又愣住了,在想他為什么問我這個(gè)問題。

Me: ummm… Actually I am there as a software developer. So I don’t know.
我說:“嗯…其實(shí)我在那兒做軟件開發(fā),所以我不太了解?!?/div>

Boy: Okay, okay.
男孩說:“好吧好吧?!?/div>

While coming back from Bangalore to my home town in West Bengal, I didn’t put on my Flipkart T-shirt, otherwise people would have thought, that Flipkart has raised its standard and delivery boys are delivering by flights.
從班加羅爾回我家的小鎮(zhèn)西孟加拉邦時(shí)我沒有穿FlipkartT恤,否則人們還得以為Flipkart升級(jí)了,送貨員都乘飛機(jī)送貨了。

It was really very awkward. This is the first time I am sharing this story.
這件事真的很尷尬,我是第一次分享這個(gè)故事。

This happened to me when I was in 9th standard. I belong to a financially sound family but I think my dress sense was very poor.
這件事發(fā)生在我9年級(jí)時(shí),我家境殷實(shí),但我覺得自己衣品很差。

So, I with my family was on a pilgrimage. I was least interested to visit the holy place, so I just sat near the pond over there.
我跟家人去朝圣,我對(duì)圣地不太感興趣,就坐在附近的池塘邊上。

There was a little girl who along with her mother was giving 2rs to all the beggars and enjoying a lot. I saw her joy and was very happy so I smiled at her, she smiled back. Then the main part comes…
有一個(gè)小女孩和她媽媽正在給所有的乞丐發(fā)2盧比硬幣,很開心的樣子,我看見她快樂我也很高興,就朝她笑了一下,她也對(duì)我笑了,這時(shí)重點(diǎn)來了……

Her mother asked her- didi ko paise die ya nhi? (Have you given her alms or not??)
她媽媽問她-- didi ko paise die ya nhi?(你施舍給她了嗎?)

It was so embarrassing for me that I couldn't utter a word and accepted the alms.
我當(dāng)時(shí)尷尬得說不出話,只能接受了施舍。

Even today I have those 2rs safe with me to remind me of the lesson that dress sense does matter.
甚至到現(xiàn)在我還保留著那2盧比來提醒自己衣品真的很重要。
