There are three types of lies - white lies, black lies and Indian lies. The last is told very often in our country and they are the most harmless. If you ask me, they'll even pass off as cute. We Indians have quite a way with lies. These lies have become a part of our everyday lives, so much so that we forget they are lies! If you're a purebred desi, you have definitely come across these at some point:

When getting a government work done: "Yeh aaj nahi ho payega."

Or shell out a few hundred bucks and it’ll be done in an hour.

"Everybody scored less, papa. Paper hi out of syllabus tha."

Totally.
