wateva, I have already apologized for the title, I sure sounded derogatory. My apologies again, but it was written only in jest. Just tried to emulate most of the nepalese people who use this appelation for Indians. Blessed are you and many others in sajha who do not discriminate. Well, as far as airports are concerned, they think I am a middle eastern, and that worsens the matter more. thugged out, You are right, but I am an extrovert too. But the definition was more apt for bhai because of his charisma rather than my embarrassing middle class looks. Also, I am a brahmin, and looked typically north indian those days. But bhai was a brahmin too....wonder why he didn't look like one.
