Today it is gonna be a little serious. I have been posting stuff from the internet that is basically humour...I have been in the US for the last 3 months and I have already have some wonderful and some not-so-wonderful experiences. But there is something that is a bit strange with something that I thought Americans are very open about. That make me wonder even more. Just a few days back, My friend was travelling in a bus one day to do some shopping. Then this guy comes up, a black male priest I suppose,

Ashwinee: to bus mein alag alag seat pe baithe the
aur mere paas mein ek kallu aake baitha
me: kis khushi mein? ladaai ho gayi hai kya?
haan fir
Ashwinee: church se kuch to related tha
priest or whatever
me: Mm.hmm
Ashwinee: and i was reading a marathi book
so...after some time he asked me what language it was in
2:00 AM i told him it's my regional language
so he asked me if he wanted to learn it what can he do
i was like...WHAT ??
:)
me: :)
Ashwinee: so he asked me to write down the name of the language so that he can find it on the web
ok...
then he asked me what my religion was
2:01 AM i said i am a hindu
then he asked me...what are the advantages and disadvantages of being a hindu
i was like...what the hell
2:02 AM so i said that i didnt think any religion is advantageous or disadvan...it's just a way of living
so..
me: yeah then
Ashwinee: he said...
but now u r in the USA
so the culture and religion must have had some impact on u
me: :)
Ashwinee: do u like anything
me: :))
2:03 AM Ashwinee: so i said that there are some obvious changes that u have to make
but as such i am happy with what i am
and i dont think i need to make major changes in that
then he asks...are u going back after ur studies are done
i said yes ofcourse
me: :)))
2:04 AM Ashwinee: then he asks...but if u like some american and want to marry him and settle in the US then what
me: :))))
Ashwinee: so i said...i dont think my parents and my family will approve of that and i dont want to displease them
so he says...
i have children
i understand ur respect for ur parents
2:05 AM i wld also like my children to respect me
but i wldnt shut them in a box
they are free to do whatever they want
damnnn
i was so irritated
me: :)))))
Ashwinee: ye saale church vale log
it
it's not good to say this
but they are damn HALKAT
2:06 AM me: They are aggressive...
I don't really know why though...it seems so silly sometimes
Ashwinee: i hated it when they told abt the baptism during that horizons picnic
and i hated this guy
how r they concerned with my religion
me: but did this conversation end there?
Ashwinee: no...he got a call then
2:07 AM :)
and then i pretended to sleep
me: it was damn interesting...maaf kijiye if I am selfish
:))))))
Ashwinee: i just wanted to get up and walk away
me: yeah I dun understand 'em at all...
Ashwinee: seriously
me: what is the funda
Ashwinee: christians are worse than muslims
2:08 AM muslims are open in what they do
ye log bahot hi jyada diplomatic hai
me: haan diplomatic hain, but generalizations to hamesha galat hote hain
2:09 AM Ashwinee: and hindus are the only stupid ALL-ACCOMODATING people
haan that's ok
:)
me: there are more atheists in US of A than Christians
I was shocked when I read this...
Ashwinee: what ??
me: that more atheists than christians
2:10 AM but yeah, I don't understand this whole conversion shit
I mean what's the reason?
it can't be that my religion is better than urs...
cause fir to they wouldn't want any conversions...
as they would think they are superior
2:11 AM may be it's the other way around...
they are probably insecure in spite of the numbers
2:12 AM and way of living?? certainly not wrt christianity
in a diplomatic way, they call it free-thinking
giving the effect that this religion sets them free to do whatever they want
2:13 AM it doesn't prescribe anything and that sort of thing u know
Ashwinee: no
i dont think so
i might be mistaken
but they do feel they are superior
u wanna see my new cool shoes
;)
me: and makin it completely opposite to muslims
Ashwinee: they think jesus is the ultimate messiah
me: sure I do
2:14 AM but then they wouldn't want any 'lowly' religion ppl to become superior. would they?
I m a bit confused abt this point
