20 things that we Indians do easily but Americans can't

World should learn the marketing tactics from Indians and specifically Indian women .. everyone could easily hear the most common phrase in the market,"5 rupaye ki cheez 10 rupaye mein? Bhaiya, sahi rate batao!"  And the shopkeeper won't even mind! Indian’s are the best negotiators or bargainers. They are incredibly good at going emotions, very comfortable with numbers and know how to up sell until the cows come home.

For example when I asked how much this hoodie was, the shop owner said, “2000rs”. I instantly replied, “50rs”. He laughs and says, “no way”. I reply, “100rs”. He says, “1000rs”. I reply, “200rs”. He says, “800rs”. I reply, “300rs”. He says, “700rs”. At this point I say, “too much” and start to leave the shop. He freaks out and says, “500rs sir! this is best price, I have wife and baby at home”. While standing at the door of the shop I say “400rs is my best price” and start to move away. He comes running and says “okay deal”. This is a true example that illustrates the whole thing very clearly.

Whether it's our food or our lives, we need a little bit of spice to keep things interesting

Indians can cook awesome food easily in no time compare to any other. Our mothers can cook food faster and delicious when we compare this to any 5 star restaurant's certified cook.

 

I'm not saying Americans don't respect elders. It's just that you won't find Indians calling their elders by their first name now, will you?

*We use the word 'aap' for our elders while americans have only one word 'you'.

*Westerners shake hands, however,  our greeting with 'namaste' (na-mas-TAY) (placing both hands together with a slight bow) is appreciated and shows respect for Indian customs.

 

Now this is something totally ridiculous and alien to almost every country other than a very very few. The idea of marrying a strange man/woman is something unimaginable for them. They will be like " JESUS ....WHAT THE HELL"  but we have been living with this culture for decades .The best way to understand the reasoning behind such cultures is to put aside your own beliefs, opinions, and preconceived ideas in order to see more clearly before dismissing it as wrong. While it may not be for all and love marriages in India are not unheard of or a rare sighting by any means…arranged marriages aren’t necessarily a bad thing either!

Jugaad! I am not talking about jugaad made by farmers... I am talking about our ethical engineering alternatives to the solutions given by west. We have been able to make such cost effective alternatives, that would not be believed.

Indian Electricians can climb up the pole without safety gears. The Americans can't even think of this kind of daring act in their nightmare.

 

Arranged marriages remain a socially accepted and often preferred practice in India, with families playing an active role in matchmaking. In contrast, marriage decisions in the U.S. are typically individual-driven, making this cultural norm uniquely widespread in India.

“Give me a missed call before leaving the house.” Sounds familiar isn't ?

Not only this,  below is the list of reasons why we Indian always love it -

No wonder we have the most number of public holidays according to a survey done by Mercer LLC! On counting festivals being celebrated in India, we get too much of free time. And the best thing about these celebrations, is that it is Celebration of Humanity, Celebrating this diversified culture we are blessed with the immense harmony that lies between hearts that are beyond cultural and regional differences.

Hollywood movies are amazing but a bollywood movie is not a movie without couple of latke-jhatkes here and there?  

From chaotic traffic navigation to daring festival rituals and adventurous daily commutes, many Indians display a high tolerance for risk in everyday life. Such normalized risk-taking often surprises Americans accustomed to stricter safety regulations and enforcement.

Overloading vehicles with extra passengers, luggage, or goods is a common sight in many parts of India, reflecting resourcefulness and high population density. Strict traffic laws and liability concerns in the U.S. make such practices far less common.

people giving advice

 Giving free advice to people even though they are not interested or do not want some advice. We Indians just love giving everyone some advice or so. The best advice is given when INDIAN team is playing cricket.In every house where the cricket match is being watched you will see people giving advice.   Abey kohli ko aage aakr marna chaiye, pull shot marna chaiye, Rohit Bahot slow khel raha hein, backfoot pr khelna chaiye, Ishant ko kyu khilate hein, usko bowling krna hi nahi aata, Bhuvi ko 1st over dena chaiye and all such idiotic crap. But it actually motivates everyone and without these free and unnecessary advice there is no enjoyment in watching cricket.

Deep-rooted traditions, superstitions, and religious customs strongly influence daily decisions for many Indians. While faith is important in the U.S. as well, unquestioned adherence to rituals and omens is generally less pervasive in mainstream American society.
