My wife Kruti often takes our 8 month old princess to the park and then sits on a bench just beside the main rod of our complex. She usually sits there in the morning at @ 0830 and on evenings @ 0600. Since its that time when everyone is either rushing to offices or coming back..or going for shopping/play etc....many cars zoom by and my daughter enjoys that.
Kruti often tells me about how the Americans (white and colored alike) smile, wave a hi or just acknowledge....irrespective of whether they know us or not ot if they like our presence or not...But when it comes to desis, they stare and zoom by...the ones who know us wave or say hi...but others just pass by as if ignoring....not that it makes any difference, but the same desis when pass by an American would wish them....
Isn't it discrimination within our own people for no apparent reason? Isn't it time we learnt a lesson or two on basic human etiquette from these firangs?
