Too cool to be true?
Unknown to me, in the far, misty corners of the internet there exists a website which rates the top 50 coolest desis in the world today. This fact came to my attention this evening and not being ranked among them made me feel sad, angered and finally relieved. I am wondering whether or not I should post the link on this page because it is clearly some kind of propaganda to make us all want to be like Kal Penn. O.K., for the sake of completeness, click here.
Definitions...! To the uninitiated, "desi" is the Indian word for Indian. It can also mean "made in India" or just "local dude" in which case Americans are desis too, as long as they are referring to each other. Of course, this makes them American desis which are none other than Indian Americans who are not sure if they are really desis. There is a moral in there somewhere that escapes me. Oh, one more thing - the word is not pronounced "daisy", more like "they-see".
