Saud: Bring hydro food within 3 feet of me. It definitely will NOT remain.

Hmm Islamic values should remain. Hydro food should remain. Our desi ness should change to meet the demands of our climate/environment. Changing in moderation with islamic laws in mind is not bad. Fortunately/unfortunately desi's have changed and to a certain extent changed for the better just as some have changed for worse. Ok i'll get of being serious. Desi's suck..how's that? haha

True, values should remain, but as ppl's minds evolve, values eventually are questioned.

Rizwan...the matlab in wat i said is exactly that..a desi is always a desi..with the same values..the same culture and the same line of thought. For those desis trying desperately to be different..well, they'll have a huge identity crisis dilemma to face sooner than later

i forgot about putting thsi je up. After reading everyone's response...i don't have an accent. Last time i went to india, i found myself speaking in a fake desi-english accent. Not as strong, but you know - holly wood style. It's really wierd hearing yourself speak in an american accent when no one else around you does - but tries to.

You are stale off the boat:)J.K! Do you still have the accent? If so then you are still a FOB, if not then you dont' classify as a FOB.
