Unity in Diversity

Tamils are always proud to be Tamizhs ; Pretty courteous (that is whatthey think, at least!). They speak yenglish but sorry, no indi (Hindi).The more common Madarasi (chennaisi...,now?) is an ardent fan ofkireeket matches wharever he may be.

Their counterparts in Bombay think they live in America but speakHinglish like ...'are you sure ki Sujata aa rahi hai ya Ill go akela!'And they take great pride in making stupid mistakes in Hindi Grammar.The BEST hypocrites in the world. Kyaa...

Thamizhs, are verrry lecky to have 'simble' neighbours in thekeralites who are a komblex race of peoblle (they migrated around 2000B.C. from the middle east, I guess; and now even the Sheikhs feel waryof them)but they have excellent GK , eat a lot of chooclyte and own 99.998765% of tyre shops in the world and form 99% of nursing community.

Not far begind the kerals is the telugu desam, who are totallyagainesht flaunting their wealthu to the woruldu, though theyoccasionally come out withu brick red shirtsu and parrot green pantsuwith pleetsu (fleet).Worustu, no?! But they (think) are greatu in CICSu,Microsu and COBOLu!Generally sane peoplesu (and so you can always findu them judgingu,probhingu, queschioningu othersu ...)

The Canadians, excuse me, the Kannadigas aor (are) the coolest in thesouth but if there is political unrest in Hersogovnia oare (or) anebola virus outbreak in Zaire, they bash up the Tamils in Karnataka.Cauvery very bad! When it comes to Rajkumar (actor), if a fly sits onhis nose, theyll burn the entire city of Benglore to kill the fly! Tohell with Silicon valley! I-ron firshtu, girlu, Lasht Bussu, roadu,crickeatu, filamu are some of their favourites.

Maharashtrians are a conservative, confused, complex lot-kar. -Kar,that is because gavasakar, tendulkar, bahulkar.. confused?? that isbecause sitting in southern part of India they would ask the otherperson 'are you from Maharashtra or from South India..?' and genuinelywonder why the other person takes some time to answer the question.They like the principles of pheejix and their favourite character inthe alphabet is Zay (god knows where that came from). Although soft,peace loving people but they elect the Shivsena to rule them.

And right there next to the Maharashtrians are the Gujjubhais. Theylike to keep kes in the benk and their favourite past time is eatingsnakes like paav bhaji, masala papad and pijja at the local snake bar.They gobble down alak sev like their life depends on it and believe inthe brotherhood of man and sisterhood of woman(everybody is a bhai or a ben).

If you go further eesht, you land uf Udissa- the land of irron (r isstressed) where sombalpuroa and Bhubaneshbara are big towns. Thepeople are bery cordial and if you are Vikram they bill soorly askyou B or Bhe.They do not sout, sam or soot but occasnally bawsh their phace at thewasbashin. James Bond Mohanty in our colleze roll nomber jero, jero,sebhen. AAnd his brother was Asees (Ashish).

Bengalees are bery bery similor, but or bery proud oph Subas ChondroBoash and Shoatyojit Roy (I used to know a director by name SatyajitRay who was also pretty good) and everybody is Xda. I used to havbe afriend by name Dada. Wonder... never mind. Bot I most conphess,Roshgollas are bery goooood, tho!

Bihari kids are supposed to be the smartest kids in India (if not inhe universe!). How we wish they grow up the same way,...but... AndBiharees are bery phond of Laloo, Rabdi, Ranchi, Chaara. ka issebhadiya tumre pass kooch hai, kaa?! spit spit... spit paan..

UPites and MPites are busy going to ischool with their Ishstainlessishsteel tiffin boxes and istudying metals to make lots of ishteel.

Punjabis are very sweet and aggressive and offer Rotti Shotti Khayega!to which I once replied No. He said Tage itu, yaar! By Godu!Surjeetu,what happenedu, oi?!. Then of course,everybodys a paappe or akaakke.Thats Pnjab for you.

And Kashmir (called Cashmir by many, may be because of the amount ofcash spent to keep it in India)?!? I know Roja (or Roza?)was shot (Imeanfilmed) somewhere nearby...

But at the end of the day, wherever you are in the world, whether itis in Sunnyvale, CA; Birmingham, UK; UmmAl Quwain, UAE or SerangoonRoad, Singapore, ask them who they are and you'll get just one answer- 'INDIAN'.
