When i used to hang out with my 24/7 punjabi speaking cousins. I adopted nearly everythning about them. USed to gossip, took to checking out cleanliness levels of peoples home and generally a very critical person.
Now i’m with another bunch and i’ve adopted their scally accent, say kasmay after every sentence and say words i’d never dream of.
I wana be my own person. 
i am a trend setter not a follower 
now be a gd sheep and do as the sheperd tells u 
Nothing wrong with taking good qualities from others. But change of the entire attitude like using the same word err.. yea well it happened to me. I moved in with this girl and she had this habit of saying "ewwww" and it kinda rubbed off on me. But that's about it. Usually it's the other people that get influenced by my laid-back attitude :D
kasmay!
haeay! Ducko, kadi ‘kasmay’ bol kay tay suna. 
Well it's true that the kind of company you keep,, reflects you.. also they do change you...
