I don't know Indians don't talk much , once they detect you are from Pakistan they tend to stay with in their small circle don't socialize often I tend to go to Indian eating places to test out new dishes etc and people I met there were so friendly - people my only complain was that I went for a buffet and after 2 plates the owner came gave me some side dish trying to save his main course meal of night which I reluctantly ate .. I went to eat all you can eat but anyways ...
I was starting to develop good reputation about india , I watched those historic cricket games in Karachi when both fans came close and cheered on together it was a very briliant moment and Musharaf was close to solving the riddle- then mumbai happened , and then say alot of negative thinking mostly from indian politicians , and then their media opened fire and now a days back to zero and Musharaf can't even get a visa so the problem is always old timers with bias they await a bad event and they unleash their fury
But do enjoy the indian hospitality shown to Pakistani performers on singing shows , but was disappointed by the snub in IPL and have not watched a single game for IPL since then I turn off the TV when it starts before I used to watch it again old timers ruined it for younger generation. Obviosly the time when some one made fun of Pakistani pop singer on TV that was not a good moment I turned off that channel for good 1 year after that or that show. But in general I like the entertainment line in India
I only have some respect for IPL only because of Shahruk khan's defiance but obvously even he was shut down by Shiv sena so its difficult as long as there will be people like Shiv Sina it will be hard for any real progress
But the IPL snub was sad - to punish someone who was not directly even involved in Mumbai event just shows the root of problem - a total irrational statement and act
I see few indian outsourcing ppl in my company , they fly in form India for some work , don't socialize they work and hang our with their own company folks ocassionally I tried to connect with them but they are not open to socializing or they are taught not to discuss things
One time we had dinner so all the indians sat on one table and rest of company in other I felt so weired , hmm why are they all sitting by themselves luckily we chatted after during break it would have been nicer if they all sat with every one socialize a bit
I don't know ... I even introduced myself to one to say hello sitting next to my desk but just weired personality so I said ok .. its not something I can control may be its culture shock I am used to listing to music talking to peers while working
But we have good experience from my father's side dealing with indian company owners they were nice people. I guess there is good and bad side of all things
So there is always positive and negative , and in end it all goes back to Kashmir sadly oh well for me I just have not had that much contact with Indians but its been limited sometimes I get good response sometimes average
But I think at general level there is alot of similarities and emotional attahment and hospitality just need to break the ice sorta speak
I think Indian corporate culture is very much like too much work no socializing I was hoping to connect base with some of the guys to learn more about their country and their city etc but even sitting right across the guy I could not get any conversation going so I was like ok no so I just went socialized with other peers we ended up going to some horse race event
Obviously India is a top destination for me to visit but only if there is security and no harassment from local police , politicians and immigration
I think general indian inside india would be very friendly but I have no way to test that out
I just see the news that Shiv Sena bashed someone for something and then I develop a negative feeling about india may be whole india is violent as such
