The concept of a land far far away becomes woefully inapplicable in the case of desis. From the remote islands of Fiji to the never ending animated satirical world of the Simpsons, you’ll find a desi everywhere.
Global desi presence infuses a lot of familial pride into a desi. More importantly, every time the desi feels a lack of <insert latest Apple gizmo> or a conversation topic he can always rely upon that aunt in New Jersey, or that uncle in the bay area or that cousin in the UK.
With relatives and friends spread across the length and breadth of countries like the US, desis can remain busy hopping between mofussil towns attending desi parties in each town.
Being everywhere also allows the patriotic desi media to take pride in a US senator having Indian roots or on an English film on Mumbai putting Bollywood on the world stage (the Kodak theatre stage really 
) . This national pride is also enthusiastically reflected on a desi’s countenance when explaining the goings-on in a SRK film to a non-desi.
Note that settling amongst different cultures does not deter desis from doing the same things everywhere, like opening a grocery store, starting a motel or playing the only sport they know. Don’t be too surprised if you ever get to watch a cricket game between Italy and Ghana with a Singh bowling to a Patel.
Seriously, Indian people ARE everywhere. I’ve traveled to Greece, a very homogeneous place where they regretfully consider left over Turks and Roma as countrymen.
I went to a vegetarian restaurant (the only one?) – who owned it and served us? Indians.
I went to St. Vincent. Who sold us some t-shirts and apparently was related to my dad with a Chennai connection? An Indian.
My parents went to Barcelona … met some Indians who owned some jewelry shop.
My friend went to Israel and met some non-Jew Indians.
I was going to go to Korea until my Korean friend told me that Indian people are well known for being intelligent, especially in software/hardware companies. I decided not to go to disappointed the locals that I do not fill that stereotype.
When I went to Greek, we actually met some Tamils. Guess where they lived and worked? Japan. I thought only white people went to Japan because other Asians just got oppressed. Oh well.
Hello
U r right..India is everywhere…
Indians never take the credit but they just perform well in all sectors….
The credit goes to west….but Its the Indians who make…discover…implement…the things…
to be frank many of the western are good that they accept Indian contributiion in the contemporary world….
but there are few westerners… who are arrogant…
[...] Desis all over the world are all awaiting the outcome of this non-celebration eagerly. Some enthusiatic desis we spoke to, expect a guest post by none other than SRK; who has admitted opposing to the pictures used in one of the entries. Others however, have checked their levels of optimism after this agonizingly extended delay in marking the anniversary event in any way. [...]
Oh yeah, my Indian friend is part of a serious cricket league in Israel !!
