Rajiv Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Not India, but outside Anywhere u go, be it a tourist spot or shopping. You find an Indian and he will stare at you, probably eat you up and is probably dying to ask you "where are YOU phrom" The stare itself seems to have multiple questions in it ( how did u get here, visa or temp, what job ) - its seriously funny Same thing at any bars, especially here in Vancouver - what we are typically termed as "brown" guys with razor-precision lined beard, driving a F-150 or Muffler Tearing Mazda. They just stare, its like I am desi, I am brown, I drive a nice car What is about us
punjabi_khota Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I don't do it, and ****ing hate it when people do it to me. I think I kind of over-do the avoiding the stare thing :lmao: As Russell Peters said about this and he said the other guy is thinking " Woa..another Indian. I thought I was the only one!! " :hahaha:
Cricketics Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Ya, thats funny. The other day i was coming out of Giant and there was this desi dude who was about to enter the store with the cart in front of him. 3 People are already standing behind him, but just as he see a fellow India coming out(me) he started staring jaise mai koi bot purana jigri dost hoon uska. I smiled and said HOLA como estas, and he was embarassed.
coffee_rules Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 He stares because he is expecting you to smile at him and say hi. Smile back at him and he won't bother you again once he knows you are a desi. Better yet, say hi and say you just came from India, he will probably say HOLA como estas!
Texy Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I f ing hate when desi people come up to you at a grocery store or electronics store and introduce themselves, ask you qs as if you are long lost friends and then slowly introduce to you their pyramid scheme
maggot_brain Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 This happens with every nationality on Earth. Brits, Yanks, you name it. We all (all people that is) like familiarity and meeting someone we may share a common identity with.
Aaku Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Its sooo kayuteeeeee !! A : Are you Indian? B : Haaan ji ! Tussi vi ? A : Tussi punjabi o ? Assi ludhiana tou :--D A : Arey wah ji waaah, hum chandigarh ki side sey ! :clap:
Rajiv Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 I smiled and said HOLA como estas' date= and he was embarassed. I used to get that, my reply was fitting "apun ekdum firstclass"

Desis have a unique style Are u UK Born or Indian Born?
I_India Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 There was a time when I used to dress funky. On top of that I easily pass for different nationalities and races so people are never able to guess my origin. Anyway I was sitting at the airport and Mr Punjabi husband and wife come and sat across me.They were FOB and started talking very bad about my clothes and my piercings. For 10 minutes I could hear them bashing me :hysterical: I was laughing inside but it did hurt :sniffle:

EnterTheVoid Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I never observed this problem :dontknow:
Guest Gunner Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I just nod my head when a desi is looking at me and that is usually the end of it.
Sachinism Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 The worst staring I've received was in India. Everywhere you go people know you're not from there and they stare at you so bad. They're right up in your face with their eyes locked on you. Really annoying
IKnowU Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 The worst staring I've received was in India. Everywhere you go people know you're not from there and they stare at you so bad. They're right up in your face with their eyes locked on you. Really annoying + Even though you dress casually and look like everybody else. They have this weird power in their heads that can tell that you dont live here or not.
Sachinism Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 + Even though you dress casually and look like everybody else. They have this weird power in their heads that can tell that you dont live here or not. yeh, they can spot an NRI in a second and then they proceed to rip you off
