You may be missing India

by Australian Again » Wed May 04, 2005 4:05 pm

You may be missing India, when you ......



....Re-wire all the lights in your house and insert a random selector.



....Start washing your clothes in the local river.



....Start commuting to work on the roof of the train.



....Start sucking aniseed so you can spit on the wall in the yard.



....Put a 'Horn OK' bumper sticker on your car and blast horn every 3 seconds.



....Re-wire the bathroom to leave all the cables exposed.



....Start peeing in your sink.



....Argue with the newsagent over the cost of your daily paper.



....Set the farmers cows free to roam the streets.



....Take your granny to a festival so you can lose her.



....Open a market stall to sell used false teeth.



Can anyone think of any more.

---start wearing flip flops everywhere



---litter with reckless abandon



---when doing business with an Indian run establishment you immediately switch to giving money with the right hand



---when something is going wrong you say "why like this baba" and no one has any clue what your talking about

you may be missing Australia when:



you are shocked that your sheepshagging is culturally unacceptable



you find racism is frowned upon



you start getting pis$ed off at your own whiny annoying accent



you travel 8000 miles to the other side of the world so that you can hire a flat, fill it full of other Australians, plaster it with Australian flags, drink Australian beer, b1tch constantly about the country you find yourself in, and only leave your flat to go to overpriced Australian themed bars with giant inflatible Kangaroos and Koalas to make you feel more at home while you sip shitty Australian beer from stupid looking Australian glasses and congratulate yourselves on how adventurous you are to be so far away from Australia.

Start cursing that there's no jug in the bathroom!!!



Begin smiling at perfect strangers in the street!!!



Buy a snack advertised as being "extra hot" then think you've been robbed!!!



When the nieghbours star complaining about the spicy aroma eminating from your flat!!!



Start slaloming and beeping your way through heavy traffic in your home town!!!



Buy a lighter and wonder why it does'nt have the extra "welder setting" like the Indian ones!!!



Find the bells on western bicycles a bit "wimpy"!!!



When you look at your wage slip and see how much tax you've PAID!!!



When you start feeling sorry for the cows locked up in those inhuman fields!!!



When you get dirty looks from the hometown beggers, when you hand them two Rupees!!!



When tea just doesn't cut it anymore!!!

At McDonalds, you ask for McDosa.

* You roll down the window and ask for directions.

* Add garam masala to your Thanksgiving turkey.

* You inhale exhaust fumes and it feels good.

* You smile at strangers and ask "Wat is your good name, sir".

* At home, when you are alone, you eat with your hands.

At home get an old smelly vest to clean the floor with and then use it to wipe the table and then flick it over your shoulder.

*Find an old bike tyre and run along the road pushing it with a stick.

*Grow your thumb nail really long and paint it with red varnish.

*Wear a lungi and old white vest while out in town.

30. You only make long distance calls after 11 p.m.

31. If you don't live at home, when your parents call, they ask if you've eaten, even if it's midnight.

33. When your parents meet strangers and talk for a few minutes, you discover you're talking to a distant cousin.

35. You have bed sheets on your sofas so as to keep them away from getting dirty.

36. When dining out, you think Rs 10 is enough of a tip.
