Rajiv Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 ^ Speaking from the other side of the fence' date=' people who know hindi but pretend not to. Those are real lame too. I mean what is so embarrasing in speaking in your mother tongue if you are not in front of some Angrez.[/quote'] LOL, good one man Living in BC, all my pals are from Punjab but they remember to converse in Hindi with me and I farkin respect them for it even though I can grasp punjabi, there are abs no south Indians here (unlike TO ) who has a huge population of Tamils. I am comfortable both ways, not an issue of conversing and respect all

Ram Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Don’t like nosey people – If I am going to tell you something about myself, its because I choose to, not because you want to learn more about me. And If you ask something about me and I choose to evade the question, you should not be upset because you must understand that I am under no obligation to share my privacy with you. Don’t like moody, eccentric people – This stems especially from having lived with so many room-mates. If you don’t like me, I am perfectly fine with that. At the least, be consistent with your hate for me, so I know what to expect from you. Don’t be an angel one-day and a devil the next. That makes my life VERY hard.I can easily share space and time with someone who absolutely hates me to the core, does not even want to speak with me but I find it VERY hard when someone acts all nice and warm one-day and downrightful hateful and rude the next. People who ***** about others behind their backs – If you want to criticize someone, do it in front of them, so that they have a chance to defend themselves. Don’t do it when they’re not around. Guys who cant take jokes, especially when its on them – People often confuse humor with actual opinion. You go to a dinner and pass a harmless comment on someone and all of a sudden, they get belligerent and all serious? For what? I didn’t actually mean what I said and I am also perfectly ok with you having a hearty laugh with me being the source of that humor. And in general, hypocrites. People are hypocritical about everything, which is again hard for me because I do not know what to expect from you. I absolutely LOVE people who are consistent with their behavior and attitudes, even if it means having negative attributes all the time.

CricketGirl Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Why would any self respecting Indian be offended by being referred to as Indian? :dontknow: My point exactly! but i asked that because i refered to one of the guys at work as indian he's from chennai so i was a bit disappointed when he insisted i call him a southy! for me, if your from india ur indian and u should be proud of it either way
rahulrulezz Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 1) I dunno why but I find a cute girl swearing a turn on. :D 2) I hate it when vegetarians and non-drinkers act all pure and holy. 3) I have no problem with theists but I hate it when they start bad mouthing atheists for their beliefs and treat them like they are bad people with no moral values. Nothing against you but just had to put this points across. :P :--D:--D

Its hard for someone to differentiate between Bengali/Oriya/Assamese too - doesnt mean we club them into one! Heck, most madrasis cant even speak or understand Hindi!! :giggle:

I am sure even if we get a crash course, it wouldn't be easy Case in point, have you seen Sriram? he doesn't look like a south indian to me You look at Lurker who is from UP, but looks like a south indian
fineleg Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Hindi speakers automatically assuming all other Indians understand it. . Yep - there are some who ask "Do you understand Hindi?" and then start talking which is appreciated. But there are others who just assume.
