Everyone around you speaks Hindi and you still get the comfortable feeling of being around your own countrymen, even though you're far from your country.DubaiTeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497315911334353738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-1152052553786424132006-07-05T02:35:00.000+04:002006-07-05T02:35:00.000+04:00Interesting article.

They often seemed, the quite, working kind - minding their own business, pretty competitive at times, I think? Butt of Indian jokes etc...<BR/><BR/>I am a second generation UAE resident and am Brit/indian. To be brutally honest, Indians generally are not my fav folks (I get along well with the second/third generations from the UAE) It's the new crop who pretty much carry an insecure and crab mentality. DOn't know why, most of 'em think - others are out to get them - which I never understood?<BR/><BR/>Then there is the Indian emotions - I do not watch "Bollywood" crap - however if you say something negative (read truthful) about some silly people, who are called Actors - lo behold all hell breaks lose.<BR/><BR/>Before all the sentimental Desi's go guns and bullets - my comments are based on actual experiences.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I agree with the blog - UAE does have a lot of Indian influence, I also think there is a strong British influence.<BR/><BR/>I liked the UAE that existed 10 years ago - now there seems to be so much crap and so many new people, the old ones have moved elsewhere - the country seems to be loosing it's true charm - a safe, warm, quite and beautiful place, where everyone knew everyone else and people trusted their neighbours - oh well, it is what it is.roshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03271894997251528158noreply@blogger.com
