Some things that can make a complete Madrasi!!!
1) When you complete a near 'perfect' executive chinese meal in a nice indian chinese restaurant and CRAVE for curd to end the meal!!!
2) When you talk about how "punjus" will be punjus...and "gujjus" will be gujjus and how south indians are less complicated!!!
3) When you take the book/newspaper to the loo, after all its knowledge gaining thats Important, how does it matter WHERE?
4) When pickle is the “sidedish” with everything – rice or roti!!!
5) When you discuss rajini kanth for timepass.. his life, his movies, his marriage, his school, his daughter, his son in law!!!
6) When you ENJOY sardar jokes and then talk about how we shud not make fun of sardarjis the way we all do.
7) When you HATE these Hindi speaking fellows make fun of the tamilified/goltified/kanadafied hindi we speak...like they speak good tamil/telegu/kannada themselves...hmpf!
Probably... I have just started loving being a Madrasi!!!

I think(on a serious note though)..its my own perceptions..may be different from reality..a individual loves the place where he is born n grows in initial 5-6 years or in some cases 1 year also..he has an attachment to it when he feels the emotions attach to the place of his parents & relative even if he has spent most of his time in other place/city...he eventually starts taking a pride n emotional comfort in it..and wants to settle there..i want to point my good friend Madhu(as we all called him in School out of love n care) attention to one of our principal A.Madhav Sir..who was a very good person n my father being a teacher in the same school is still very close to him personally..so Madhav Sir was went to USA n was paid heavelly..He was basically from Tamilnadu only..a madrasi(as madhu has put the title of his post)..he called one day to papa and said he wants to return to his own state n amongst his own people as he feels good there..he left a high paying job in USA to return to South India..just bcoz of the love for place n its culture leaving a huge salary package..So personal identity n Culture is huge thing..it gives u a comfort which we feel when we are with our parents(just for comparison)..it has lead to many revolutions in & around the world in different forms..It was fun replying,i replied/said on a serious note though..it was just a fun post!!.but i want to congratulate my friend for this blog who is my child hood School friend..n is a genius..:-
As the blogs dont have something like testinomials,i want to just say something about madhusudhan(my madrassi friend) that this guy is genious with so much modesty n down to earth..very analytical..after reading his blogs i can relate so many things..i really believe he will do something great one day and become successfull..keep writing man n write more ..tc brother.Pulkit Singh

It was a nice post but you forgot to mention one more thing about the north Indian tendency to refer to all South Indians as Madrasi. The funniest thing is they don't know south India consists more than just Madrasis.
