Proffi has been a very dear friend of mine. had known him from past 8 years .... Met him somewhere after the 12th standard results and then same college , same company , same city kept us in contact.. he is a sort of person on whom one can rely on in all matters. He was( ?? ) a fellow who believed in greeting his friends in the traditional indian way by giving a giant HUG ...
Indians have a very different outloook and i would say a wierd outlook bout the american thinking and way of life ( Well this is my viewpoint .. if u don't agree I don't care , u can as well go to hell and even then I will not care , u can shout for me from there even then i will not care ).And i belive people responsible for this thinking are those desi people who have been over here for quite some time and think of themselves as expert on the American Way of Life ( again this is my viewpoint if u don't agree I don't care , u can as well go to hell and even then I will not care , u can shout for me from there even then i will not care) .And one of the most abused viewpoint is "americans feel that too much physical contact between males in open shows their homosexual preferences.." And our dear proffi also came under such bad influences.
So when I met proffi for first time in America I was surprised to see proffi saying ooops all the time
any of us touched him in a casual way .... And so our entire Ewing-->Jersey City --> Philedelphia trip was full of so many ooops that even a experienced OOPs programmer would have committed suicide .
When this crescendo of oops had crossed all tolerance limits I knew I had to act.. I don't know from where I got the inspiration .. most probably it was Nandu's presence .. I said "India me the to kandhe pe haath rakh kar chalte the , aur sala aaj ek choti si ungli kya lag gayi …….seedhe oops."
I think my wise quote had the desired effect on proffi. Next day when we were going through the our traditional farewell rituals ,in full public view proffi gave me one of his old desi hugs and this time I said "OOOOOPPPS !!!!"
