haha... PCG.. i have a feeling u'll curse this day when u spent so much time on gupshup.. :D
i think the dumbest question ever asked was
"do u intend on living abroad??"
"erm.. arent we living abroad right now? (arabia)"
"yes.. but by abroad i mean teh west"
"well... ermm... i dont know.. " (was taht a googly ?? im thinkin in my head)
"well i dont like the west and u should never want to visit it or ever dream bout living there either"
"so.. ermm.. what if my folks move there???"
"well as i've said.. i hate the west... so.. no meething sheeting eitehr"
"ookkkkkkk (followed by a lot of gasping and rolling of eyes)... "
i didnt know how to answer that so the first thing that popped in my head and what i actualy said was
"were u deported or something???? "
im not surprised i never heard from tehm again :D
and so on and so forth... how u answer such a question .. i do not know... judging by some of teh questions taht i have been asked.. i would more than love to get teh basic "apko khana pakana atha hai? "
One of the strangest/funniest things I heard at a dinner party was this woman going on about her doctor son and how hard it was to find a doctorni who was his equal. Then the mother goes that she doesn't care what the girl is, as long as she's a doctor ... she could be Jewish, Christian or Muslim .. it didn't matter.
I would say social status is super important to a lot of the people I have come across.
As for skin colour, that's obvious. The lighter, the better.
