You forgot to add…
#30. Ridiculing fellow desis in language sophisticated and humo(u)rous enough not to invite criticism
How about using the Orkut Title Space to “shout out” something important
Some people change it every day…. Some every hour… Some have an orkut account which says ” Not Orkutting :”
I think that scene in a movie featuring Kal Penn sums it up. “Mr. Patel your Camry’s lights are on” and every desi standing there has rushed off to check his car.
Top 10 of what Brown People REALLY like
10. having white friends

3. english chocolates
2. asian women (i mean, who doesn’t?)
1. white women

These are great.
One more I’d like to add – “regifting.” You know every single gift you’ve ever gotten from a desi was either given to them by someone else or lying around their house serving no purpose.
I’m Indian and I find this list to be a bit ridiculous – are you trying to be funny, serious, ironic, or facetious, because none come across very well.
I would agree with about less than 1/10th of your list and in fact agree much more with ‘N’ who as also commented here.
All we need are more silly sites like these going around so people can draw horrible false conclusions about those Desis and their ‘Patel Snapping’ ways in Tulip Fields that will go home and post those pictures on Orkut, and of course to share with prospectives for their Arranged Marriage to make their Parents happy.
And seriously – ‘Patel Snaps’ – obviously a word you and your friends coined and are trying to spread amongst the mainstream. If you think you are quite that clever, there’s always urbandictionary.com, but I’m sure you’re one step ahead of me.
I just wonder what sense of reality you have and what type of image you’re trying to spread.
Thanks for your reply, allowing me to disagree. Your approval is paramount.
I have come to realize this site is be made to reflect view points of Indians based in India or those who have recently come to America from India. Perhaps that should be clarified.
Hello,
I am an avid indian-american writer. I really enjoy your blog, and I would love to help contribute to it. Is there anyway i could become an author?
dude, too funny, but you gotta add the innate ability to spot out other Indians in crowds, television shows, and movies, and know what part of India they’re from by their names.
hell ya
You gotta be kiddin me! Where’s
1) Feigning rock music wisdom
2) Tying the “jersey/jerkin” to the hip and
3) OSIS “Obliging stripper identification & sharing” at a strip club?
I can contribute in these areas cause I’ve seen this shit firsthand -)
White people like hummus. Brown people like the whole garbanzo.
you should post “armchair sports” indian people love to watch sports but not playing them haha
What about innate jealousy towards all other nationalities? I mean, a desi person will always go to places like the Niagara falls and then say “Oh, there are better things in India”. Or things like “Oh there are so few Nobel laureates from India because everyone dislikes giving us recognition”.
