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 ........

"give people what they give you"

It is a bad habit SAM. :o-p

Shyam said...

i totally agree :-)

i dont follow this principle anywhere else ... but i jus want people around me to be happy and not uncomfortable because of me - if some people like people smilin back at them , i seize the oppurtunity and if people like others to be not looking at em , i nod my head in agreement - live ur life pal ,why should i put you in a predicament ?

its sure a bad habit and i dont think i use this anywhere else ...

desis ka bharosa tho kahin bhi nahi kar sakte yaar...see d grt divide thr exists between north nd south indians in r country...

i have so many northies over hearing me say smthg in hindi nd cuming up to me to ask me how cm my hindi is gud..did i go for 'hindi classes'?(!!) have i written Praatmik etc..i never tell thm abt my origins(!) but ans bck - so u thot madrasis hindi nahi bol sakte?? bol sakte hain bhai..aapse achcha bhi bol lete hain! :o-p

"Madrasis hindi nahi bol sakte" is a myth tht needs to b shattered!!!

interestin u tlk abt this ... i am seeing myself turnin into a tamil chauvinist nowdays (inspite of the point i cant write tamil)

i posted one fiery entry in this forum and on second reading only i realised how emotional I had been.. someone had written chennai sucks and i was all fired up ... i lambasted the post and my post was full of emotional jingoism and made little logical sense...
