That map is pretty accurate. Put Islamabad and Multan in the circle, and you pretty much got it. Yes...we are all just brown. But...the thing is thought...you have Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. When someone asks me "are you from India?" I say no, im from Pakistan...and people say "same thing". I kinda don't like that. Not that I'm against India or anything. Regardless of what people might say. It's just that...everyone has a country that they're from or from where they're parents are from. If you were to go to an Indian person, and ask them if they're from Pakistan, he/she would say "no, im from India". Basically... it's the same as...if you're an American, and someone calls you Canadian...you'd get pissed, right? A canadian person and an american standing together...you couldnt tell the difference if they wore the same clothes and all. Ah well...I think I'm just confusing everyone. I love all my brown people... ^^ Comment on the bollywood songs: It's also funny how they change clothes in every cut scene.
^ That's an understandable thing to get annoyed with. Asians still get it the worst in that aspect, though. Another thing that I always found annoying is the way that directors/producers just assumed that acting ability runs in the family. I remember watching movies where the son/daughter of a legendary actor/actress get so much hype, when they have no ability at all.

HEY what about surjit bindrakhia and I need ur opinions seeing most u guys r asian etc. was arguing with my friend the other day about eating, he eats bombay mix with a spoon, u do not eat bombay mix with a spoon i'm starting a thread on this!
Never heard of your dude, if he's a muscian. If I'm eating Khatta-Meeta at home (I'm assuming you guys know what that is), I use a spoon. I hate eating with my hands, I'm a naturally messy eater, even WITH a spoon...I just flat out embarrass myself trying to eat rice with my fingers, it doesn't work for me.
Surjit Bindrakhia's like the best bhangra singer of all time. I grew up listening to his songs. He just died a couple years ago, though. You really understood how influential he was then. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surjit_Bindrakhia
Yeah, I tried eating rice with my hands, I dropped half and ate the other half. I was messy. I just try spoon now. But eating with hands just makes the food taste better sometimes and is a total different feeling (in a good way).

How do you eat indian food with a spoon? That's interesting. Not that I don't know how to use a spoon, but something interesting that my mom has pointed out to me before about using your hands: You'll never burn your mouth when you use your hands, because you know right away how hot you food is. Another thing, you're forced to wash your hands before you eat and after you eat. . a good practice for people.

My friends say I'm white-washed cause I don't eat brown foods with my hands
http://www.thatlitevideosite.com/video/802 That's all that needs to be said. Mods....come close this thread.
ROFLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hahahah...First I was like wtf are those things coming from the sky and then the guy shows up and there's two of him dancing back and forth Too funny, I've never seen this video before. The guy's name is Daler Mehendi (I think, or something along those lines)...I've heard his songs before, they're actually pretty good, but I've obviously never seen his videos before...I should watch more, they are quite amazing. By the way, this is punjabi music, not bollywood music.
lol @ Daler Mehndi. I remember he got caught illegally smuggling in immigrants or something like that. That video's the sh*t, though.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Mehndi is also popular in the United States amongst teenagers [11], where his album song "Tunak Tunak Tun" is an Internet phenomenon. This cult following was spurred by the music video for Mehndi's song "Tunak Tunak Tun", often referred to simply as "Tunak", which gained its popularity due to Daler Mehndi's wild dancing and has lead to many homages and parodies.[12] Mehndi originally conceived of the music video, in which he dances with "clones" of himself, in response to media statements that he was popular only because of the models in his videos. Tunak Tunak Tun was the first music video to make use of green screen technology in India </div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Mehndi was also accused of being a member of a scam bringing illegal immigrants to Canada by disguising them as musicians, a charge he denies.[15] He was in hiding for a month before he surrendered to police in Patiala and charged with 31 counts of immigration law violations.[16] Punjab police director-general, A. A. Siddiqui, later stated Mehndi was innocent and insinuated that the confusion arose because Daler and his brother, who was the original target of the scandal, looked alike</div> I love the dude's happy looking nature.
Rice and Dal, man thats so good. One thing I like about our food is that its so spicy. When you eat that type of food, water runs down your nose, now that's how good it is. So what'd every eat today?
Lol, some people actually eat pizza with a fork and a knife. Thats "suppose" to be the proper way, but these days who is proper??
