Aditi Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 You Must Be a Gujju If... (Non-Gujjus, please verify) - You have at least 1 relative in the stock market. - You're never worried about what happens if you get stranded in Ghatkopar. All you'd have to do, you know, is walk across the road and find a relative. (Still easier, just shout, "Mama! Masi! Faiba! Kaka!" a couple of times. At least one is bound to be around.) - You don't worry about being stranded in New Jersey . You've been told by everyone that the thing to do at such a time is to open the telephone directory, turn to "Shah" and call any number for help. - You measure the success of a wedding by how many people praised the food. - You believe Narendra Modi is the solution to everything. From your hair to the nation's defence . - You understand that when someone says "Dhirajbhai no babo" or "Maniben ni baby", the "baba" and "baby" in question could be 40 years old. - You either think the garba is the coolest thing ever, or you wonder why the whole world makes such a big deal out of it. - No packing for any trip is complete without thepla. - Winter = undhiyu. - Summer = keri no ras. - Monsoon = have su karvanoo?! kai na sujhe to bhajiya sutarwana ... - You assume (in marital situations) that because Mara bhai na vevai ni dikri na sasu gave a recommendation, the person in question is virtue personified. - You have no problems with love marriages. You just view them as a last resort, that's it. - You may not donate anything to the orphanage down the road, but when there's a calamity in Gujarat , you send truckloads of money, food and amenities. - You feel a slight sense of pride in Ketan Parekh, no matter how much you hide it. - You think the G-U-J-J-U sequence in Kal Ho Na Ho was rather cool, actually. - You're so attuned to smiling and laughing for no reason at any given social occasions, that funerals become odd for you. (Non-Gujju funerals, that is. At Gujju funerals, everyone has the same problem, so they understand.) - You know what "doodh cold drink" (pronounced doodh coal dreenk) is. - Sunday mornings = Gathiya and jalebi. - if you go on a picnic, everyone brings atleast 10 foods each, which is bound to include dhokla, kachori, chewro, thepla, mathia, fafda and maybe 3-4 different athanas and fried green chillies...

nikred Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 You measure the success of a wedding by how many people praised the food. This definitely holds true for telugu people too, I can't speak for rest of India but I believe its the same for others too. My dad has this habit of analyzing all the weddings we attend based mostly on the food and giving a rating and then comparing them to the previous wedding we attended. Some of these "mega success" and "epic fail" weddings come into his comparison even after 20-30 years after they took place. :giggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
