Always Leave Office On Time

I do not entirely agree with Point 5.

I am not sure if you would want to take a chance with Point 7 !!! J

About Point 3, there will be always exception scenarios. It has been experience particularly in India, about how colleagues become friends and help out during times of need …

In my previous organisation, there was a French intern in India who described her experiences with regards this point. Interestingly she has commented about how initially she felt it embarrassing on receiving help at workplace on her personal issues but later had a different view. 

“Coming from an individualist society like France where people emphasize on being independent, it can be embarrassing to receive so much assistance from strangers in India, especially when your issues are personal. But as you start doing so, you realize that you are opening yourself up and sharing a deeper connection with your fellow employees. This is a feeling that you eventually start enjoying! 

Indians are naturally inquisitive. Most people are not shy to inquire about your marital status, family, health or anything else that may fuel their curiosity. It may seem a bit intrusive and inappropriate at the beginning because we are not used to having such intimate relationships at the office. But after a while you start letting yourself go, and it feels so good! In India, your colleagues can be your friends, so why not take this opportunity?”
