Had a weird encounter today. Got elbowed by someone while getting into a metro train. Generally its such a common thing that the brain doesn't even bothers to inform me about it. But this time it did, so there had to be something wrong. Looked back and saw a Foreigner elbowing everyone around and shouting "you Indians are dogs? That's how you should be treated." We got in, the train started and he continued with his blabber.
A group of boys started taking his trip the typical dilli style, asking him single or double worded questions in English and them a truck load of Hindi swear words and laughing away to glory.
Sensing a joke on himself he replied, "You are dogs, you need to just piss off"
This went on for some 5 minutes before even he was added to the ignore list of everyone around. (Typically Indian).
I finally asked him, "You mad or what? What's your name?"
"John" (name not changed)
I asked, "what the fuck is your problem?". Before he could start answering back a college girl standing next to me barged in "Dude you can't go around shitting all over the place the way you are. You are freaking blah blah"
His reply. "Sorry I didn't get you. You Indians are the rudest people in the world."
She said, "you are a gone case". Another hunk joined, "You have the balls to say that in public. You know where you are standing"
The discussion got really heated up thereafter, so ignoring the details.
"I am a traveler. I travel the world. This is the 24th country I am visiting. Haven't seen people ruder than this. Do you read Reader's Digest? You have to start reading a little. Its report says that Indians are the rudest in the world. Have you ever heard the word excuse me here. People just push. In the queue for metro, 4 people jumped in front of me. The smartest brains in the world behaving like this. Pity. You guys live like dogs. Day before someone stole my passport. Just took it out of my pocket. The metro police found it today on the tracks. I missed my flight because of that. I am stuck here in this shitty place. When I went to the police station I saw a guy being beaten up with sticks. Even dogs are treated better. Siting examples of Bill Gates and Microsoft in garbled English"
All this happened by way of a heated conversation. He got a good lesson about his country with cash rich filthy people never in their lives having to think about earning a daily bread. How racist they were. He had no business being here and stuff. But all that is off topic.
He had made his point. True ones as well.
Funny moments: One good point by the hunk, "why are you are obsessed with dogs. It is the same animal you guys make porn movies with". Such a statement in public. Priceless.
Aunties around discussing. Aunty 1: "Usne pata hai Indians ko dog keh diya". Aunty 2: "Han main bhi sun rahi thee, accent wali bhi samajh aa jati hai." Making this one up but something very similar was happening all around.
Everyone suddenly had an accent while talking to him. Most sentences with more accent than rammer.

it hurts man when foreigners say all that abt your country but it pains even more wen u realise so much of it is true..
but in this case damn that firang!
hmm..had a similar experience while standing in front of the queue of the french embassy..bloody french guy comes with his indian wife...and jumps the queue..goes and stands right in front of everyone...has the nerve to say ..i don't give a fuck about what you think....but we were able to give him a piece of our minds....but yes..no accents..i'm really surprised that ppl in ur case put on accents..that too when indignant...
Hehe..
the firang was an insignificant other in this case. I added the accent part because it was funny. Otherwise have omitted all details about how he got belted.
The fact remains that our behavior in public places is just not acceptable and delhi remains to be the epitome of it.
he he....aunties will be aunties...gossip ke liye kuch bhi topic chalega... uffff.....
