Pushpa Moorjani | | AREN'T WE PROUD TO BE A SINDHI ? A rather long E-troduction but bear with me and have a giggle.(I am a very proud Sindhi).
I have relatives living in more places in the world than AT&T has connections too. Me and my family or relatives, will settle in any part of the world to make money.
I have to look at an atlas to find out where most of my relatives live.
The in-flight crews of Northwest, United, Cathay Pacific or Japan Airlines know me on a first name basis.
The U.S. Customs in Los Angeles , New York , San Francisco or Seattle has already got me blacklisted for carrying more stuff than I have declared.
I can order merchandise in at least 5 different foreign languages,and speak these languages more often than I speak Sindhi.
Even though I get the best possible price on something.....I still complain.
I can calculate foreign currency exchange rates faster than the clerks at most Thomas Cook locations.
Attending a Sindhi wedding for me and my family is like attending a fashion show...... Attending a Diwali Ball is like attending the Academy Awards....... It is also where we have to dress to the hilt or will be considered a peasant.
Diwali is celebrated as a beautiful holiday.....to count our blessings, and pray for more money. We attended a Sindhi Wedding, where the preponderance of Diamonds is enough to rival the annual output of De Beers.
I anxiously attend parties or social engagements, for the mere fulfillment of discussing my business accolades.
When the price of Gold drops, my family goes into a stage of mass-depression. When the price of a commodity like.....Johnnie Walker "Gold Label" drops, we feel ecstatic.
My dream at night is about breaking into the Gold Bullion in New York City . I have two bottles of Johnnie Walker "Blue Label" sitting in my bar. I have even more bottles of "Black Label" sitting in my bar. I believe.....The economy of Scotland , and its GNP, is solely determined by the total number of Sindhi Weddings that year, and the amount of Johnnie Walker consumed.
I have an Uncle that is either in the Suit Business, or the Jewelry Business. I have another Uncle that is in the Electronics business, Toy business, and the Garments business. I have even more Uncles in businesses that simply sell everything, and can't even define the type of business that they are in.
I eat Chinese food, Thaifood, Indonesian food, Malaysian food, Korean food, or Italian food more often than Indian food. I know more Chinese dishes, and Thai dishes, per se than Indian dishes.
I have one or more bank accounts in India , compounding at interest rates faster than the rate that bacteria multiplies on stale gulaab jamuns.
At the ripe age of three (3), I had the ability to distinguish a real Oyster-perpetual Rolex from a fake one.
As a Sindhi, I consider myself part of a high-society Indian Mafia. My Dad drives a Lexus. My Mom drives a Lexus. My Uncle drives a Lexus. My other Uncle drives a Lexus. I believe.....The economy of Japan vs. Germany is reflected by the number of Lexuses vs. Mercedes-Benzes purchased by Sindhis in the last year.
I have at least one parent that is slightly overweight and has a "Sindhi-Belly," usually caused by prosperity.
I have an Aunty that can spread gossip on the phone faster than any bulk emailing program currently available on the market.
Through nurturing, I learnt at an early age that I have an insatiable appetite for wealth. At age five, when my Dad asked me, "What do you want to be when you grow up...??" I answered, "RICH!" Private Reply to Pushpa Moorjani | | Sep 09, 2007 4:03 pm | | re: Typical Sindhi | # |

R Kumar | | An honest question: is our current generation really like that? or are we the victims of ethnic profiling?
Though I may enjoy a laugh at our alleged characteristics, when I look around my own extended family and sindhi friends, I do not see these traits being so conspicuous.
What I in fact see is a motley crowd with individual attributes.
Are we being stereotyped (even by our own selves) is my question!Private Reply to R Kumar | | Sep 15, 2007 6:41 pm | | re: re: re: re: re: Typical Sindhi | # |
Pushpa Moorjani | | Mr Ravi…
It is the known fact that Sindhis have a great sense of Humor and they have ability to laugh at themselves too…..
And, I am afraid that it is conspicuous … the above traits are common even today…..look closely…

Rajiv Lulla | | guys,
all humans have indivdual attributes, but Sindhis are in a class of their own.... check it out, the moment a sindhi parivar enters a restaurant, or any other public place, you can immediately make it out...dude...that is something special....
jai jhulelal!!!Private Reply to Rajiv Lulla | | Sep 17, 2007 7:41 am | | re: re: re: re: re: re: re: Typical Sindhi | # |
Pushpa Moorjani | | True, if Sindhi Parivar enters the restaurant, every waiter wants to serve…they all know the heavy tip that they will get at the end of the meal…..
Sindhis are careful about their money at their market place/business, they will not give you a discount, not even a rupee,
but(off duty hours) they are well known for their generous tipping…. They appreciate good service and all of them love to give charity…..
And that's the reason, why they are show-stoppers.....
