well, these apply to me. like someone had said, it only applies to you if your ARE from india.

Your parents say, "Don't forget your heritage."

You know what's going to happen in every Hindi movie before it happens

You're father and grandfathers have hair on their ears

An Asian woman comes on campus and people ask: "Is that your mother? Well then, is it your sister?"

Your relatives' houses smell like incense, mothballs or both

Your parents say, "Calculus? I took calculus in 8th grade!!"

You either really, really want to go to NYU or really, really want to stay away from it

"You want a stereo! When I was your age, I didn't even have shoes!"

You arrive one or two hours late to a party and think it's normal.

Everyone in your family has pet names, which sound nowhere close to their real names.

You are standing next to the two largest suitcases at the Airport.

You talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someone's house. ( this made me laugh cause it's so true)

Your parents don't realize phone connections to foreign countries have improved in the last two decades, and still scream at the top of their lungs when making long distance calls. (my mom haha)

There is a sale on any item, you buy 100 of them. (not 100, but a lot)

You have a 'Singer Brother' sewing machine at home. (singer)

You hide everything from your parents. (not everything)

You do all the housework and cooking if you are female. (so true)

Your relatives alone could populate a small city. (true too)

Everyone is a family friend.

You know no one who has studied music. (except me)

You like the meat well done. (well cooked, yes)

You eat onions with everything.

You use chilli sauce instead of tomato ketchup.

You teach Westerners swearwords in your language. (haha if they ask)

You avoid public places when with a member of the opposite sex, especially if there is an acquaintance within a 250 miles radius. (in front of my parents and if they are around my age, yes haha that's funny)

You always say "open the light" instead of "turn the light on". (uh oh, i'm such a fob)

You're walking out of customs with your trolley at the airport and you see all twenty-five members of your family who have come to pick you up. (more than 25)

You go back to your parents' country and people treat you like a member of...the royal family. (they will soon )

You're parents would freak out if your sister wore a crop top baring her midriff...but wearing a sari is perfectly acceptable. (i complained to my mom about this and she told me to shut up! )

Your parent are panicking if you aren't married when you turn 25 (they will)

Either you really like Indians of the opposite sex or you can't stand them

Your mother measures wealth in gold and diamonds (sometimes and money)

A horoscope must decide your wedding date

You are sick and tired of answering questions about "the dot".

Your friends could not explain your religion to someone if they tried

You could not explain your religion to someone if you tried.

You have cousins you have never met, whose names you don't know, but who insist they're related to you, even though they bear NO resemblance to...anyone YOU know. (definitely true)

Your parents push the concept of an arranged marriage on you and try and demonstrate how well it works whenever they're not fighting.

You notice that whenever you go to another Indian's house, your parents always talk about work and business.

The second you pull out of someone's driveway, your parents start talking...about them. (haha true)

Every few months your parents say when they're moving back to India.

No one ever seems to call ahead of time to say they are coming over for a visit. (sometimes)

wow almost every one of them apply to me.
