India, The Country of Mystery

The Four Monkeys
I've somewhere, somewhat and somehow heard about India is the kind of place where you can find the meaning of life which I don't really understand why until my trip here in India. I just realized that this is not the place with some meaning of life hidden somewhere but this is the place which provides you every condition you need to figure out the meaning of life quitely and peacefully.According to the sales guy, there was a legend about The Four Monkeys, but he insisted not to tell me the story behind until I decided to buy it. Yes, finally I decided to buy it but I didn't get any interesting story. What I got is (from left to right):

Don't say anything bad
Don't hear anything bad
Don't see anything bad
Don't think anything bad (it looks like the monkey is literally thinking, what the sales guy explained to me is that the monkey is thinking not to think anything bad)


It's fine, 280 Rupees is definitely worth educating myself.

Communication Problem
Actually this is what I've already expected upfront as I've been working with Indians on 2 software projects. Nonetheless, yet I find something very funny while communicating with the Indian friends here, Find classical example below:
After I got into a cab...
Indian driver: Hello sir, good morning! (with sunny smile)
(From this point onwards, I supposed he understands English language)
Chinese passenger: Good morning. (with charming smile)
Indian driver: Kan-na-dal? ("Where do you want to go?", I found out the meaning 1 day after. To my dear Indian friends, please forgive me if I spelled it wrongly as I was having problem asking him to repeat)
Chinese passenger: Sorry, I can't understand Hindi (In fact I didn't know whether it is Hindi or Tamil or something else, stupid me)
Indian driver: Kannnnnn - Naaaaaa - Daaaaaalllll? (he spoke much more slower and clearer)
I hold on my intention to laugh aloud, gave up the conversation and straight away told him the destination: M.G. Road

Suprisingly, that seemed to be the correct answer.
It's amazing that the people here seems to presume that me as a foreigner can understand their languages. They always mix their sentence with English and Hindi (not Hindi-slang English but pure Hindi) and expect
me to give response. It's funny anyway, isn't?

Communication Problem, again
I just realized that this problem doesn't restricted to be happened on human to human but also on human to non-human. What will be your reaction when you see the door with "PULL" on the handlers and want to go out? I don't know yours. Let me try to visualize the situation in a conversation again:
Door: If you want to get out, please pull my handler.
Me: OK, I'm coming to pull... (Before I even had the chance to bring up my
hand, the door opened automaticalaly when I was 1 meter close to it)
Door: OK please come closer, I'm opened for you.
(Joke: Does the word "PULL" in Hindi mean "AUTO"?)

Is that a bad UI design?
