I just scan through "DM" in the pages, then log out. If i don't understand what u say, then where is communication? It is just like mumbling in the dark. No offence please. It is my opinion.
haha, I know what you mean, Canada is an extension of Punjab. Toronto is at least more cosmopolitan but in B.C - its like 99.99% Punjabis so when you talk to one, they will assume you are one and start talking in Punjabi. Its not their fault and its understandable since almost everyone is related to Punjab. I often skip that, since I am mistaken for South American but when I say I am from India, I have to mention Mumbai and then we speak in Hindi. But frankly, it really helps if you know Punjabi since they are in every sector and you feel good that there is Indian representation everywhere
For those who are not familiar and first time in Canada - ( Don't recall this is in Toronto ) but in Vancouver, its acceptable and/or titled as "Brown" when it comes to Indians or when you are referring to one. Same goes for Chinese as Yellow, and off course black and white. It's not necessarily racist or anything but that's how its acknowledged
So its common to hear like "Oh it's a brown party" , stuff like thjat
