I come across these 2 things a lot. I find these themes very common with all the Indian people I talk to.
- Liquor: Indian men like to brag about how long they can hold liquor! Period. They also brag about how much they can drink. If you come across any Indian and 90% chances are that they drink and if you bring the topic of going out for drinks – watch out next 10 seconds – you would hear something un-realistic claim to fame from them. I really don’t get it. I mean c’mon it’s not like you have ‘large feet’ (If you know what I mean!). You just can drink awful lot that’s all. It’s not anything to brag about. It’s a shame that you drink so much and you need so much to actually have some fun. This is something I hear every day from so many people.
- Past: I also come across people bragging a lot about their past. They incessantly dwell in the time period where everything was so good. I tell you, it’s a national epidemic. Most of them live in past. They are just worried about the future and compare it with past. What about the present? Hello? The stories of the past just don’t stop. What’s annoying is that most of the time these past stories are about how much they drank! C’mon let’s get a fking life and get on with it.

lol. oh yeah how we Indians are stuck in the past.
Especially the elders. They cant seem to embrace the future and let go of the past. Ething from the past was so nice , people were this that wht not. yeah so wht . people r independent and thrs lots of opportunities now.
n drinking Ive no clue. maybe coz I cant appreciate nor apprehend their “stunt” (or whtever) no one has yet bragged to me.
