Absolutely agree with u Maya, I bet the reaction will be more or less the same for Pakistanis as well...but these people always try to undermine and criticize the Indians. Ironically, they always upload such articles on a blogging site that is based in India...I can lay a bet that the same kind of views won’t be published in a networking site on Pakistanis in Pakistan. The humor is definitely there, but I would have been happier if Mr. Abid had mentioned not only about Indians.

@ Abid,

what do you mean by germs? Did you mean the genes...?? couldn’t fathom the meaning of ”germs” :(!!

Secondly, I have never said anything regarding YOU stopping me from publishing anything...its my freedom of speech and expressions...if you would have read carefully, I had said the blogs that are critical about the habits of Pakistanis will not be published in a blog that is based in Pakistan...freedom of media is not there like we have it in India...whether you accept my views or not, that is the truth!

I have all the habits which are mentioned in the point no. 17, 12 and 11 and FYI I have never been to US. And I don’t think there’s any harm in talking this way. A Brahman friend of mine is living in Muscat and says ’Ada ab or Salaam’ whenever we call each other. So, shall I react on this...No because its human nature to adapt to its surroundings. I have inculcated these habits in spite of being in India. Doesn’t really make any difference.

@Reshmi.

Germ:

I don’t know condition of freedom of media in India, but of course, i believe media in Pakistan don’t have required freedom of speech and expressions.

@ Abid, OMG...you really did not take me to be so stupid did you...that I didn’t know the meaning of germs?? Anyways, let me clarify...germs also mean a minute organism that produces disease...so I thought how come you have used the term ’germs’ here!!

Anyways, peace... unlike others at least you seem not so biased about Pakistan...you have accepted that freedom of media is less there. In India, its nothing great, but surely much better.

Would love to read more interesting and thought provoking articles from you in the near future.

Good one. It is true that so soon we tend to get spoilt and forget that we have/had spent majority of our life back home.
