I agree... Punjus - the Sardars in particular - are the best.

Of course, their women are great and stay that way much longer in their lives - not that it makes any difference....

dunno abt sunnyvale: desis bring down the attractiveness quotient waayyy low in those parts that the token mall clerk blondes/hot asians cant nearly begin to tip the balance to the otherside

Really??? I thought only NJ is part of India. California also? Only in the Malls?

We probably have different experiences with this group. But the land of Gandhi has not shown any spark of progressive thinking.

On my favorite other state: Karnataka or should I say Bangalore. Great people and great food. No other place in India is as supportive of new comers as Bangalore.

pravalika nanda wrote:it's difficult. i think telugus are the best. they have the nicest parties, with real deejays, corrupt aunties, corrupt uncles, everyone's interesting and plotting how to get their daughter to win a beauty contest, or one-up another's dance debut, the women also play an active role in cleaning up their children's facebook accounts before important events such as a pelli chupulu. they're always bragging about who owns how much real estate. all this in the midst of a great meal with pakodis, vadalu, podilu, their meat, etc and tennis and music.

the uncles are usually quietly nursing charges of tax evasion and medicare fraud and praying that their siblings in india will not steal their property. telugu parties even little get-togethers are hugely interesting.

ah, the other thing i must add is all the kids in their late teens and early twenties are dating each other with their parents' approval.

i have found that in comparison, kannadas are absolute dullards, tamils can be found discussing this concert or that. telugus know that concerts are for entertainment and a raaga will not make or break a real estate deal. i don't know any north indians.

i've come to know a few malayalis in the last few years and i think they watch a lot of porn. the statistics show that they have a huge unemployment rate, a high suicide rate, and no industry other than a tourism industry. i think all those things are tied together. you would think that with the highest literacy rate they would have something better to show. the women work, the men are lazy.

i've found that in college and in post-graduate training the telugu kids are very out-going and popular and confident. Punjabi kids are just proud of themselves for being fair and will do a harvest-dance every chance they get.

i like what nat had to say about gujaratis, i agree with her, but i find them to be somewhat superstitious.

so those are all my biases.
