"US" ified brownies!!

The weather has been so awesome for past couple of days that I can keep my patio door open and let the beautiful breeze seep in.The greenery in front of my apartment looks so blissful and life looks so peaceful! But wait a minute,have I ever appreciated the same weather in India?!! Not once! I used to call the same weather "heat" and I would walk straight into the AC room and say aloud "I aint going to go out today,its horrible heat" ( ccmon,what the hell did I think of myself?).Well,I am not the only one to be blamed,all these recently migrated desi souls to US behave the same way ( may be)!The moment we land here,magic happens to us and we are the most sophisticated people you can ever find!! We religiously hold the door open for others ( mind you,this service is only for non desi people who walk right behind us).Let me talk more about the magic I just mentioned.We have the most pretty smiles for Americans or for that matter any other race who pass by.We even go to the extent of being extremely awesome by saying "Howdy"!But if a brown happens to see another brown coming by suddenly you witness the most worked out" expression you ever can imagine!!We have much more great qualities than this!! We are the most uncorrupted souls here.Aren't we great!We don't try to bribe the cops!!(Not because we know we would be kicked out of the country the next minute).Its ingrained in our Indian culture.

Ok,I decided I wanted to be different!I want to be nice to other browns too!! I was in a mall (yeah,you are right,As any other Desi,I had coupons saved up so that I get discount).OK,so since I was going to be nice,I was generous enough to give my beautiful smile to a desi.I smiled at the guy who stood behind me waiting to check out.He smiled back! I was impressed.I walked out of the mall to my car feeling really proud at my gesture.just when I heard some body running to me and shouting "hellooooo"! The same brown whom I smiled at!

Mr B(rown) -"Have I seen you somewhere?"Are you from Delhi?
Me - "eh ,no" M not from Delhi"
Mr B - Oh, I thought we knew each other".But anyway its nice meeting you"
Me - Same here.Thank you!
Mr B - Its a beautiful day but have to get back to my work.hey,do you want to know more about my business" ?
Me - Got you! Thank you so much! I am not interested" BYE!

Forgot to mention we don't dare to go to malls at weekends! We have lot of great business acumen desi's (who says Indians are only good at maths?)going around the malls trying to make business" Money chain or whatever they call it.Trying to hook up other gullible browns into it !! Huh,No wonder we don't smile at each other!!

But I can't be so biased.Recently I was waiting in the station for my train and an uncle came by".We Indians call every elderly desi men and women as Uncle ,Aunty. (We have such love for everybody that we include them as part of our family).He came sat by me.Suddenly he did something that threw me apart! He blew his nose so damn loudly and with such strength that the mucus made a forward somersault and hung itself right on the wall in front of us!! Not to mention the loud byproduct noise pollution which accompanied!! My heart missed a beat and I frantically looked around to see,if there were any Non desi people.Thank my lucky stars,there weren't any! I let out a sigh of relief!! For the readers sake,I am not going to mention about the mucous spray generosity on me which resulted because of the event.The uncle was so genuine in his act and didn't have the faintest sign of remorse on his face.But look at me! Not bothering to wipe/wash the shower to which I was subjected to , I was panicking if anybody had seen it and may stereotype me because we were of same color and we were sitting close by!If there were anybody around,I swear I would have shouted to them,cmon! All Indians don't blow their nose this way!! Image!! what not people do for its sake!!

The magic continues every time they see a harmless piece of trash on the road,appreciating the smallest gesture of a bartender , paying the taxes regularly ,taking care not to drink and drive , following the traffic signals diligently!! ok,Granted it is indeed Awesome! But can we take a smithereen piece of this magic when we go back to our good old country? Can we please smile at each other,appreciate that waiter sweating it out but was still nice to us , or at the minimal treat others with respect and dignity?
