And so it begins.... OR The Mission Statement

This is a blog for ranting. No two ways about it. Ranting is therapeutic for the ranter, and informative for the rant-ee. And usually entertaining to the readers.

The rants on this blog will be focused on (fresh-off-the-boat) desis in America. As we Indians moved to TLOTFATHOTB in big numbers, we brought our own idiosyncratic quirks with us. Habits rooted in our culture. Those obvious habits, like putting oil in our hair, or cooking really spicy food and stinking up carpets or buying the cheapest brand of deoderant.... are all annoying by themselves. And they have been picked to shreds by Russell Peters and the likes. This blog is not about those habits.

This blog is about some new and second-order annoying habits that Desis have picked up or honed over the last decade or so. Mainly because they want to fit in. They want to feel like they truly belong to this country and have as much of a personal stake in TLOTFATHOTB as any white guys they work with. As we post further, you will realize that you find those habits annoying too.

This blog will also poke fun at some really stupid blog posts by desis in America. Desis in the US can be clueless about how stupid some of their blogposts can be.

Anyway, on to the ranting
