Things I Learned In IB

Despite its best effort, IB is really educational! Here are a few things I have learned:

1.) Hindu = religion. Hindi = language.

2.) There is no Hindi birthday song.

3.) Most Hindus are vegetarians.

4.) If you offer a vegetarian chicken, they will not eat it.

5.) When trying to distinguish between American and Asian Indians, the clarification is not best made by saying "Indians with dots or Indians with feathers?" while pointing to your head.

6.) If you are male, it is less "gay" to have a Bollywood male movie star as your phone wallpaper than a Hollywood male movie star.

7.) "INDIA is in ASIA, people! Why is this so hard?"

8.) You WISH you were invited to wild Indian-only parties.

9.) You tried to copy something in the Hindi alphabet? You did it all wrong.

10.) Indians do not consider the Kama Sutra to be their greatest contribution to global stability.

11.) You cannot imitate an Indian accent. Don't even try.
