As monotonous as it could be, it was a usual day for me....Came back from work and went to my computer scrutinizing Harry's blog "finding a wife" just as a third umpire would do(he seldom does anything else) and so far it has been a pretty fair game. Harry has played consistently well but not to forget some excellent deliveries bowled by people like Puneet catching him all squared up!!. And then, A Bouncer rips straight off the seam and tries to meet ends with Harry(caught unaware). Aahh.......very unfair.......bad game Lilly!!. In fact it wasn't just Harry,it aimed the whole team of F.O.Bs. Whatsoever, it irked my lazy ass enough to bubble up and throw in some typing!

Preet's arguement for seeking similar grounds is totally plausible, but imaging what Harry and other FOBs refer to C in ABCD is a mislead. When we(Fobs) say confused, we DON'T picture someone with a baggy torned up jeans not knowing where exactly to tie it up, or someone with a shirt that big brother was supposed to wear or with a cap that tries to roof up the earring from sunlight and certainly not someone who if offered Matter Paneer(and not pizza!!) doesn't know whether to eat it or drink it.......no..no...no........the 'C' of confusion relates to their misery of trying to keep a balance between two cultures, one where their genes inherit and one where they sprout. Their confusion is in what they tend to perceive and what they end up conceiving!

The one who offers an insult writes it in sand but for the one who receives it, it is chiseled in bronze..........so lets get back to the stinky comment. Firstly what I amaze is why would someone going to India sniff at armpits rather than admire the beauty of a great culture!!....anyways we'll keep comments on personal preferences out. It wasn't that someone poured ABCD seeds into a microwave and they popped up!......it took each of them nine months in a FOB Womb to stretch out into arms and legs. Do people like Lilly project the same attitude toward their FOB parents? Do they smirk about in ABCD get-togethers" My Dad stinks". I haven't heard of any stinky civilization before deos were discovered. I don't know if Lilly is a fragrant flower, but daily showers is a pretty good alternative to deos and highly recommended to Ms Lilly(who seems to prefer latter).

Anyways, pledging no personal offences let me pile up quickly as this is supposed to be a response to a blog and not a blog in itself. We Indians (fobs or abcds) are proud of our achievements. If there were no FOBs, there apparently wouldn't have been any ABCDs. Thousands of FOBs come to US each year, pave through atrocities of the environment and still reap up into an inseparable and successful part of this society, in fact taking its standards higher up!!. How many ABCDs have taken the courage to pimp their flexibility in Indian society, after all that's where their gene pool lies. Harry has brought on some issues that deal with all indians, be it fob or abcd. Lets be constructive to his quest. Well said is that " if i let my fingers idly over the keyboard, it might happen that my screed made an intelligible sentence. If countless monkeys were strumming on keyboards, they might write all the books in british museum!!"

Lemme give u guys some facts and figures(mostly FOBs) as I believe in evidence based arguements:
38% of doctors in US are Indians
12% scientists in US are Indians
36% of Nasa scientists are Indians
34% of microsoft employees are Indians
World's first university was established in Takshila in 700BC
Art of navigation was born in river Sindh 5000 years ago
Algebra, trigonometry and calculus come from India!!

Be proud Indians and lets tame our perceptives about each other...................
