I'm dead serious. believe me.... my wife's from New Delhi. Not to say that she doesn't yell at me when I've done something stupid, but being sarcastic and loud is not uncommon either. It's kind of like the way birds willl ruffle up their feathers when threatened in order to look bigger. They don't quietly discuss differences with each other..... they "discuss" differences by having a verbal stand-off. It takes some getting used to. I wouldn't be worried at all.

If so, I feel a lot better. I actually get worried at times with the shouting coming out of some of the apartments. Thanks for the info.

It's a cultural difference. 99% of Pakistani and Indian people get along with each other absolutely fine. ~Simon Simon Horwith Macromedia Certified Instructor Certified Advanced ColdFusion 5 Developer Fig Leaf Software 1400 16th St NW, # 500 Washington DC 20036 202.797.6570 (direct line) www.figleaf.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 24, 2002 11:47 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Kashmir conflict Jerry- so here's what *not* to do: do *not* wear a Cashmere sweater in your elevator, they will fight over it and tear you to shreds. ;-) -Ben > I will tell you that the shouting in the elevator and lobby of my apartment has > heated up. > > No blows have been struck that I have seen, but it gets scary at times. > > I feel most sorry for the little kids that cower as their parents scream at each > other. > > Some days I take the stairs. > > My apartment breakdown: > 50% Pakistani (recent immigrants) > 30% Indian (recent immigrants) > 5% Japanese (recent immigrants - and very cute. mainly flight attendants who > fly between Boston and London) > 13% Southies (South Boston Natives - picture matt damon and mark walburg with an > attitide and a pickup truck.) > 1% Kenyans (recent immigrants) > > and me > > :) > > Jerry Johnson > > > > >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/24/02 02:00AM >>> > surprisingly (from here), according to family - things are business as usual > in India for the most part.
