ఫిన్నిష్ టీ బ్రేక్స్

I used to go to tea breaks with my teammates. All are finnish(except two russians and me). They love fun, though finnish people speak less, they love humor and quick witted jokes especially.

Once I told in tea break that Indians consider smoking and drinking as serious bad habits. Everyone got curious to know, how badly I am going to present "finnish people" in India. As finland is a cold country, these two habits are quite common there.

Pauli, (youngest among us and a proud finn) started the discussion as always :)
Universal fact is "Finnish ppl drink alot". Considering weather conditions in finland, this habit is justifiable and even if not, no one can do anything about it :)

Pauli accepted when I said, I am going tell my country men, that finns drink alot.No issues about drinking as I already told there is nothing, one can do about it. But immediately Pauli raised about smoking habit in finnish youth. Its actually quite less when compared with the percentage of people who used to smoke in 1970's. Its a positive trend started in finnish youth. Pauli expected me to tell this NEWS in India. He requested me to consider this positive aspect when I talk about finns in India.

I then declared, how am gonig to present indians about finnish people - "finnish people drink so much that they hardly get time to smoke". Pauli promised me and rest of the team that he is going to kill me before I leave finland :D
