Anywayz,
A newbie from India (her name is Priya) has started at our workplace today. One of my managers said that I should train her. Here is the gist of our brief conversation :-
Me = How are you?
Priya = I am fine
Me = Where are you from?
Priya = Kerala, India
Me = Oh really... You don't look Indian....
Priya (smiling a little) = What do I look like then?
Me = You can pass off as Persian or Latin... but you don't look Indian
Priya (smiling alot) = Thanks, I will take that as a compliment!
Me = Ofcourse you should!! You don't look Indian at all!!
Priya = You are so sweet! You want to go to lunch with me after the training? I will buy you free lunch!
Me = No Thanks... I am going to Applebee's with my Ukrainian friends
DeathGod,
read the conversation above... Priya acknowledged that she is from Kerala, India BEFORE i mentioned you don't look Indian..
If I tell someone, I am from Pakistan and THEN they say "You don't look Pakistani", I won't take it as a compliment, but would correct them. tata! I don't know how that is a compliment to begin with in the first place.. lol!
