Short Story: Showing off Indian-ness in US
Once there were two guys,”Sam” – an American and “Vish” – an Indian. Both worked at the same company and both are interns. Let’s describe their personalities to start with – Vish is lean like a stick and Sam is well built. Both share the same characteristic behaviour of pulling other’s leg. One day they were walking on the streets of a city in New York state(downtown) and they were on their way to a restaurant for lunch….
They were crossing the street, the pedestrian crossing signal showed Red. There were no vehicles on the road and Sam ran across the road, but Vish didn’t. After the signal turned White Vish crossed the street and joined Sam. Till then Sam was wondering why Vish didnt join him while crossing. As soon as Vish joined him Sam said to him, ‘hey dude why the hell you didn’t cross the road with me’. Vish said the signal was Red, he said. Sam replied saying ‘Rules are made to be broken’ – nobody cares – you could have crossed the road. So Vish replied bluntly saying “Sam if u break the rules people say Sam broke the rules, but if I break the rules , ppl say Indians break the rules. I need to maintain the identity of my country”. Hearing this Sam was speechless !

The story should end like this.Vish invites Sam to India. The same scene repeats with Vish doing what Sam did earlier and Sam vice-versa
Sam- So now, the Indians will be happy with that Americans respect Indian rules.
Vish- yeah but they ll be giving me a glare if they know i am ur friend and i didnt follow the rules in front of u….i am letting down my country then, u see…
Sam- Errr….ok,lets get global !!

Very true…
Whats really to be appreciated is Vish's wit at that given moment…
Vish has also showcased commendable wit.
