What makes you so different from people growing up in India? Namaste, homie.

1. Having to explain the deepest parts of your culture.

"So you speak Indian?" "You eat curry?" "What's that red dot on your forehead?" "Can you teach me how to wear a sari?"

2. The daily, weekly, or monthly calls back home.

Admit it, it sucks seeing your friends visit extended family all the time; meanwhile, you have to call them.

3. Indian food, you either love it or hate it.

Homecooked or your local Indian restaurant.

4. Not having the same disciplinary consequences as your friends.

5. Getting excited about Indian holidays and then realizing most of your friends have no idea what you're talking about.
