Its true that sometime back i was talking crap like they're also like us coming here to make money but seeing some of them behave, (bringing kids to movies is a classic example)i've also started to hate the mass! <BR/><BR/>The only place I seem to tolerate their antics is Indian restaurants coz there my attention will be focued on more important things!Sandeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397484903417675611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12326794.post-79876667783122239622008-06-21T18:37:00.000-07:002008-06-21T18:37:00.000-07:00@jennifer - Why am I not surprised by your story? ...@jennifer - Why am I not surprised by your story? Yeah I understand that this goes both ways. Recently in Chicago, while we were dining at a restaurant on top of a tall building, we were refused to be given a table by the window though my bf had insisted on it while making the reservation. I don't blame them for thinking they would be stiffed 'coz this is the message that Indians give all over.<BR/><BR/>@hbh - Yaay you are back! It's nice to know people still read me. And I totally get you about filling in timesheets ;-) So start writing soon dude, I am sick of seeing the "Old Wine New Bottle" post :-)jananihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516521723511389037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12326794.post-88477995940927495832008-06-20T02:33:00.000-07:002008-06-20T02:33:00.000-07:00Oh! and yea, forgot to add...

I've been witness to so many incidents involving these people in Singapore, sometimes I feel terrible when I think we come from the same country. Yenna pandradhu.<BR/>We really should learn a lot from the westerners. Atleast basic courtesy.<BR/>Cheers!Aswin Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12117766445084756672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12326794.post-75838679437092020192008-06-20T02:22:00.000-07:002008-06-20T02:22:00.000-07:00Yo!

I give you a lot of credit for using a public forum to say what lots of people say behind backs but don't say otherwise.<BR/><BR/>I have a story to add.. here in my town there are a bunch of Indian groceries. Most of the rent movies. SO, the shopkeeper told me a story. She loves American customers because they don't try to bargain or pull seniority tricks or get out of paying for rentals. An [Indian] lady in an expensive BMW is her customer returning a movie- more than a few weeks late. She doesn't just argue against a late fee but refuses to pay the original 1$ fee for the rental. The shopkeeper asked her if she'd treat the situation the same if she rented from Blockbuster. She is I believe trying just to sell off all her movies now as this pain is not worth any profit she may be making off the movies....<BR/><BR/>But then too I have known Americans who have been curious to learn Hinduism by entering the Hindu temple, but when asked kindly by several people to take off their shoes (as they already passed the shoe room, the sign to remove shoes are are in the temple hall with shoes on...) they get really mad and rather than just go put their shoes in the shoe rack, they actually leave the temple fuming mad!Jen Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735589129433554766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12326794.post-8885890762241892892008-06-13T19:36:00.000-07:002008-06-13T19:36:00.000-07:00Hey Srini!! :-) Glad to have one old reader back. ...Hey Srini!! :-) Glad to have one old reader back.
