One more (and read it as last one) note in this series..
One strange observation I find here , most of the desi crowd I find here belong to one among 2 groups … (by desi's I refer to indians,pak's,bangaldeshi's and afghans)
The first group I guess is a bit more strong …
Desi's belonging to this group just freeze in fear at the sight of another desi… they put on they super cool looks , look at a different direction with an air of nonchalance and all the timing praying fervently that the other desi just doesn’t approach him …. I don’t know if they feel that talking to another desi would degrade themselves , bhaav kam ho jaayega :-)
This is all the more bad if they have 'gore' friends with em ….. Hehe … I feel so amused to see this group that I really have a urge to go shake hands and say (hey oc tea marandhu pocha ? :-)) Hii !
The other group is my type - they beam on seeing a desi , few guys go to the extent to shake hands , and if they feel if ur from their place … I have seen people really go out of the way to help … discuss about things , crib about life here and ask some questions which literally hover about - howz my plz pal ?
The Finnish People here are among the most disciplined and courteous people I have ever seen , you can expect every kind of help from them . Desi's ka hi koi bharosa nahin hain …. Expecially bcoz the first kind of desi group outweighs the second kind of them ........

few lines to add ..

jus to add to wats written below ...

This is what i told my friend Ram ... "I miss India badly , I want to be back as soon as possible .... but at the same time I am being paid so good here that I wish the trip extends ...[:)] ... so there is an internal conflict and my mind is all confused "

And he said this is exactly what an NRI (Non returning Indian) is all about ... he wants to be back in India all the time but the thought of the money which he stands to lose doesnt jus let him follow his heart....

aNd BINGO some part of my question is answered ... Mayb i could say this

Ask yourself if you were paid the same money in India (or correspondingly same level of pay) , would you return to India ?

If you answer Well Maybe no - then ur already a part of the place you live , you luv the culture ,u luv the ppl along with the money !!!

If you answer Yes , then there you are pal - so ur not exactly a part here and u jus hang around here for the money !

and u know whats my answer ... [;)]
