It's My Bharat (Yeh Mera India)

More Funny Facts

We have an instant liking for a person you discover belongs to our state or shares the same surname.

We are shy but do not take much time to open up(maximum two requests to join the dance floor is enough) and then it gets difficult to get ourselves off it.

We use the same expression to convey the following emotions Yes/No /Maybe/ Perhaps /OK/Thanks/ sure/not sure/why not/agree/disagree – and that is of course the famous Indian head bobble.

We think nothing is impossible and there exists a 'Jugaad' (Hindi synonym for ' work around' )for every problem on earth

We stare at couples, girls, boys, uncles, aunties, Indians, foreigners with a gaze that can put x – rays to shame and we conveniently shrug it off believing that we are just a good observer (and not a creep or pervert).

No matter how sad or grumpy we may be, our mood is instantly lifted up at the sound of either of these three words: Treat OR Cricket OR End -of-season sale. (For me its treat always, haha)

We do not take off your plastic seat covers from your new car the whole year and if possible not even after that.

We inquire rates and prices of 80% of display products in the window not because we intend to make a purchase but to make sure we are updated on all the current rates and market prices.

We make an excuse of being stuck in traffic for arriving late even when we live around the corner and have walked down.

Our kitchen cupboards boasts of more plastic containers of all possible shapes and sizes than actual groceries.

We fiercely fight to pay the 1500 Rs. at the office lunch get together but spend five minutes convincing the vegetable vendor to give us a 10 Rs. levy on your purchase along with extra coriander and green chilli.

At a buffet, we feel overwhelming sense of responsibility to taste all the 25 dishes , 6 soups and 5 deserts even if it means rolling on the bed groaning with stomach pain and consuming copious amount of digestive tablets.

We strongly feel and complain about how Traffic has no sense (better than saying we have none) and use it as an excuse to go left, right, turn and even return..errr.... reverse at our own whim and fancy.

The word 'Trash' does not exists in our dictionary as we store and re-use and re-use and re-use everything...including plastic bags, jam bottles, Horlicks bottles, gift wrappers, cardboard boxes, old clothes , books etc etc etc.

And when you take the pizza, we don't forget to fill our supplies of tissues, ketchup, salt, pepperoni and oregano sachets.

You find it difficult to replace sir/madam with first name even when our boss insists you do fearing he may get offended.

We don't feel guilty of throwing trash on the sidewalk because it is so dirty anyway.(I personally don't like this thing though and I really hope people stop doing it...)

We get your days exercise pushing and shoving people during bus rides, in queues, trying to board Metro trains and buying a movie ticket. So much so for going to the gym!

We find it perfectly ok to wear sport shoes with trousers or under salwar and saree and a sports t-shirt to an evening out.

Proud to be a funny Indian, because these are those small things that set's us apart from the west.
