Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. 
Koshy's shuffles quieter on Saturday afternoons compared to those of Sundays. 
Steam burns are worse than those caused by fire. 
In Chandrappa, the garlic pork is hotter than the chilly pork, and crisper. 
At any given point in any given bus from Electronic City to Majestic Bus Stand, there are two and a half Bengalis. 
The distance between Jagatpur and Jatani does not equal the distance between Jatani and Jagatpur.
Baigani is not the same as purple.
