Why Do People...

1. Completely downrate those who take pride in listening to Hindi and Marathi songs and not in Hard Rock, Metal, Rap? 2. Order a Pizza or a Burger in a South Indian (Udupi) restaurant? 3. Have Celebrities, Babies, Flora & Fauna as their profile/display pics? 4. Are so stubborn to switch-off/mute their cellphones when at a public function or in an auditorium in spite of relentless requests? 5. Say 'no' to complete an English sentence? Eg: I told you no..., It's so hot no… 6. Forward messages to me that end in "Forward this to every Indian…if you are a true Indian"? 7. Think that it's completely IN to be 'In a Relationship/Committed' and commonplace to be 'Single'? 8. Fail to recollect names of the Martyrs of the Mumbai-terrorist-attacks (26/11) but never the name of some Abhishek Bachchan's character in one of his shoddy films? 9. Press buttons on elevators more than once? 10. Write Computer viruses? 11. Continue to smoke, and drink Alcohol till they puke? 12. Care less in following Table Etiquette? 13.

  3. Since these are also on my list,I'm going to try and reason out every question.[thats one topic you've taken away which could've been in my blog.Shyat!]

    1.Completely downrate those who take pride in listening to Hindi and Marathi songs and not in Hard Rock, Metal, Rap?
    For the same reason they think watching TV shows which are not aired on Star World and by chance you may shamelessly not have every single episode of some series are worthless.

    2. Order a Pizza or a Burger in a South Indian (Udupi) restaurant?
    Show-off!

    3. Have Celebrities, Babies, Flora & Fauna as their profile/display pics?
    A.They're scared of the Orkut-michief-mongers.
    B.They seem to think its damn cool to display your favourite celeb on your profile,even if they'[re of the opposite gender.
    C.Babies..hmmm.if they were their own or in their relations,no problem..why random blonde-haired babies?

    4. Are so stubborn to switch-off/mute their cellphones when at a public function or in an auditorium in spite of relentless requests?
    Again,Show-off! and an obvious inability to understand civility,courtesy and urge to flaunt their assumed importance.

    5. Say 'no' to complete an English sentence? Eg: I told you no..., It's so hot no…
    Hmm..that is a part of Indianising the language.Although these days we've 'na' and 'ya' giving tough competition to 'no'.

    6. Forward messages to me that end in "Forward this to every Indian…if you are a true Indian"?
    Because they're silly!

    7. Think that it's completely IN to be 'In a Relationship/Committed' and commonplace to be 'Single'?
    One word.Wannabes.

    8. Fail to recollect names of the Martyrs of the Mumbai-terrorist-attacks (26/11) but never the name of some Abhishek Bachchan's character in one of his shoddy films?
    @^#%@&!&

    9. Press buttons on elevators more than once?
    They're silly!

    10. Write Computer viruses?
    Haan,now thats their talent.

    11. Continue to smoke, and drink Alcohol till they puke?
    Their choice,whatever.

    12. Care less in following Table Etiquette?
    Sometimes they're unaware of it,at others,they're too busy in their conversations.

    13. Fail to kill their habit of Back-bitching?
    Human nature.Easy to control,difficult to want to.

    14. Abuse me by commenting Anonymously on my Blog? Step up Coward!
    Yeah,coward!

    15. Read this Blog but not comment? :-)
    Guilty..had exams :-)

  8. 1. Completely downrate those who take pride in listening to Hindi and Marathi songs and not in Hard Rock, Metal, Rap?
    Their pride is nothing but Perception of their Idiotic Mind. Question arises, is their opinion worth considering?

    2. Order a Pizza or a Burger in a South Indian (Udupi) restaurant?
    Then why do those so called South Indian (Udupi) restaurants have Pizza or Burgers on their Menu?

    3. Have Celebrities, Babies, Flora & Fauna as their profile/display pics?
    That's how they see themselves from others' point of view.

    4. Are so stubborn to switch-off/mute their cellphones when at a public function or in an auditorium in spite of relentless requests?
    That's where they stop seeing anything from others' point of view.

    5. Say 'no' to complete an English sentence? Eg: I told you no..., It's so hot no...
    That's where they start showing their Lack of Vocabulary and Grammatical Awareness.

    6. Forward messages to me that end in "Forward this to every Indian... if you are a true Indian"?
    That's where they prove their Lack of understanding of the true meaning of being an Indian. By the way, it's probably the easiest method to make an attempt towards showing the patriotism.

    7. Think that it's completely IN to be 'In a Relationship/Committed' and commonplace to be 'Single'?
    That's where they think that being 'Single' is boring.

    8. Fail to recollect names of the Martyrs of the Mumbai-terrorist-attacks (26/11) but never the name of some Abhishek Bachchan's character in one of his shoddy films?
    That's where the rest are left speechless.

    9. Press buttons on elevators more than once?
    There is no other way of asking the elevator to hurry up.

    10. Write Computer viruses?
    Some people just wanna watch the world burn!

    11. Continue to smoke, and drink Alcohol till they puke?
    It's not about puking, but nuking your limits of alcohol intake. FYI, smoking is 'considered' kewl.

    12. Care less in following Table Etiquette?
    You can't care if you don't know what to care for.

    13. Fail to kill their habit of Back-bitching?
    The politically correct word for 'Back-bitching' is 'Gossip'. And you shouldn't kill your loved ones!

    14. Abuse me by commenting Anonymously on my Blog? Step up Coward!
    It was I. Wait! I'm confused. Am I a coward if I've come out in the open?

    15. Read this Blog but not comment? :-)
    I would be more interested in knowing if there are people who do not read this Blog but comment.

  10. #5 seems like these are people translating other languages verbatim:

    'Lagna faarach chaan hota nahi?'
    'kya faltu movie tha na?'

    Btw, I've even noticed Rafa using it often, so maybe that's a Spanish thing too.

    #7 Really?? Thought it would be the other way around...or maybe it is where I live :)

    Wow, looks like you have something going here....this post generated a lot of talk.

  12. great post Rohan. hadn't been on your blog for quite some time. i guess i have stopped recieving your blog updates mails as well. or maybe you are sending them on the yahoo mail which i hardly use. Anyways, talking of this particular post, I second what pravav dixit has commented!
    I probably have the answers to some of these questions... but I might use them as a post on my blog :P
