American Desi....???

Few days back..while I had an afternoon discussion with my future roomies about my India trip..I was asked to flaunt accent and go all that expected americanized desi way...though discussion was over and was meant for fun...I am still sketching myself in that yuccky figure...I would surely make fool of myself...Though it is also possible that people would still imagine some accent in my speaking but who cares...

So I am here thinking about my weird look...that rings alarm bells for me..never to go for anything like that..Gossh...I m saved...!!!! But I have seen many desis trying to use those fake accent and all those so called american words and they simply look idiots..their true efforts of using that accent in every sentence they speak doesn't impress others at all...At least for me I simple choose to ignore such creatures...No body can become a different person in two, three years...Accepted you are adjusted to a new environment you learn new words ...but the basic tone of speaking your language is a thing that can never ever go away from you...irrespective of how much hard you try...

I dont want to go into the objectionable topics like feeling proud of being Indian and being a patriotic coz I never had such feeling  ..But it doesn't mean I feel sorry being an Indian.. its just an inert feeling...but I dont think that coming to any other country nowadays is a big deal..So why have that fake feeling of greatness in first place...?

Why not be the person you are and present yourself the same way.....the benefit of this, I think is you will be respected for who you are and most importantly your loved ones will never feel of you being 'Changed'....here I think about all this...and I get the news about my friend being 'changed'...though I hardly believe on this news...this wasn't certainly expected from you..dear...I wish you "GET WELL SOON"...

  1. good effort.. but your thesis statement is not clear.. add two or three more body paragraphs and start with an effective hook..

    marginal pass!
