True that! to me, it just was appalling and shocking that I had to meet such people after coming so far away from India. And somehow, having known larger circles in India, the number of such people I have come across back home is negligible !

Haha i totally get what you mean, I have seen some too that belong to this category.. at some level I feel sorry for them. :P but its extremely annoying at the same time.
Would love to read your post about it.:) Im sure there are many others who would have met such ‘superior’ beings ;)

One kind of Indian species that I have encountered is the ‘snooty’ lot… who think they are god’s gift to mankind just because they live in firang-land… now that is something I just cannot fathom… when and how they developed invisible wings is something I am yet to understand… oh well… to each their own!!
But I agree, some of them make quite a spectacle of themselves….

Haha yeah, believe me, I know how many of us feel this way. :D
Its really annoying to have to deal with it! But yeah, I guess we develop our own ways of handling it. Well, punching is still a crime, I HAVE to deal with it some other way ;)

Yeah, exactly how I feel about assuming familiarity. Its unnecessary, and like you say, it does affect our social openness.

I so agree with all you say, the over friendliness, the language, the questions around me being veggie all of it…well now I have ways of handling it well :)

I was once questioned that whether I am a cannibal or not ( I am an omnivore) I could not understand whether I should face palm or laugh and I never went out of India. Free Advice is a birth right of some and not listening is mine :) A good post.

The excessive display of familiarity often amounts to encroachment into the personal space that is best avoided. At times it also hinders in the development of an open mindset towards the mainstream culture.
