3. Their favorite film is Swades, but they dream of working for a Silicon Valley company.




4. They wish India had a martial arts form like Kung-fu or Karate, but have never heard of Kalaripayattu.

7. They hate formulaic movies, but their favorite film is DDLJ.




8. They talk to their friends in English even when they all know Hindi (or the regional language).

11. They hate the ruling government, but won’t go all the way to vote and throw it out of power.

13. [From Comments, Siddharth]:They will complain about the petrol/diesel price hike, but will still use their bikes/activas instead of public transport




14. [From Comments, Arif]: They will make noise if there’s a tiny dust particle/foreign body on the Pizza but will love the Pani-Puri the vendor pulls out with this hand and say ‘yum!’ Always!!
