Re: Desi social circle
I agree with Mirch bhai......, you are likely to treat someone on the type of mindset you have made up about them before meeting them and hence get a response accordingly. I worry about providing the appropriate desi culture for my kids in terms of language/social skills etc. My four year old speaks only in English we are now speaking in Urdu and encouraging my two kids to reply in Urdu.......its a long road.My siblings are the same mum speaks in punjabi and they reply in English!
I don't think I'm in a position to judge desi people about how they live their life etc.......Its important to see the good in people and disregard the bad as we don't have access to all the facts behind their behavior. I don't have the time or patience for extended social life but I do try to provide some sort of desi atmosphere for my children to explore.
