Well done India - lets all be friends.

So India does one over Pakistan...again. The pressure on the Indian's to beat Pakistan in India must have been huge, well done to the chaps. Plaudits aside, lets talk about the unwritten rules when it comes to the most anticipated cricketing match in the world.

• display your real distant for your pakistani/indian friends by overtly exerting your newly found patriotic optimism via facebook/twitter/ and text messaging. Ensure you use the words 'balle balle' if your indian, or 'boom boom' if your pakistani.
• during the game dont even pretend that youd want the winner of the match be it not ur team to win the tournament, because you dont. You want their next opponents of your rival to crush them, and crush them hard.
• if your dating a person of the opposite team's nationality do send them regular updates reminding them that your winning, because remember this will ensure your love will last and those social conditions that have been placed on your relationship will be evaporated by these continuous digs. 
• do pretend that you understand what actually happend during the partition and let it be known that this game will go a long way to help build bridges between the countries.
• if your team wins, call the boys, get the cars rented, burn the latest Imran khan tracks and burn some rubber in Southall or Ealing.

How did you celebrate?

Odd-ones-out

Take a look at these folks, see how I've circled the two on the left? Notice how they are leaning towards each other and not huddled together with the rest of the group?..Why? Lets explore some possible scenarios. Firstly, it goes without saying the one in that blue dress is the hottest one, she's got the pout thats commanding the most attention. The lazy eyed chick might have thought if she joins alliances with the only 'man' in the group it could prove to be a PR stunt that'll outshine the pouter. Maybe the chap and lazy-eyes are in the early stages of relationship, the part when you take pictures but don't smile...:S

What do you think is really going on here?

Twiglets - leggage exposure

With increasing pressures on our brit asain girls to match their white female counterparts, I wont be alone in noticing that there is a steady increase in the amount of 'leggage' thats on show. Take a look at the below:

Here we have what appears to be a brit asain hen party, although it looks like 4 didnt get the memo. Pinky (perhapas the hottest in the middle) decides to set herself aside and three others decide to opt for shades of purple, which lets face it are not exactly flattering to their roti-roasted figures.

Take a look here:

.. hmmm. Which do you prefer...

What we want vs What we need

Truth be known in the beginning we wanted to believe the hype that those bollywood films muster up. You meet, you like, you romance, fall in love and get married. If only it were that simple huh. The older we get the more we realise that in order to obtain what we actually want, we must adhere to codes of commands which weren't taught to us by our parents by in most cases learnt through trails and errors. Where once we wanted that simple girl we now generally strive for a short term fix from a chick who embellishes all of those qualities which we once looked at in distant. Truth be known this is what guys want :

Respecting our elders

See the thing is, back in the days (80's) if we as kids stepped out of line we'd get a good beating. Our folks werent afraid of the law, there wasn't a support network like there is now. The beatings were for our own benefit and a passed down tradition in discipline which we had to accept. Today the modern day Brit-asain knows his/her rights, todays kids are being parented by 2nd, 3rd generation asains who perhaps are more accepting of their offsprings downright obnoxious behaviour. For example, a young brit-asain mum may understand and accept her daughter's willingness to don a sparkly little hotpant, because she herself can recollect the day when on a summers day it felt right to do so too. The oldschool elders wouldn't stand for this. Back in the pind, moral and social integrity formed the backbone of ones character. But, we live in a new age now. Its London 2011, the youth is liberated and living in a highly sexualised society which is very demanding of women. The glossy mags, asaina mag, Asain women are all glad with expertly polished women with not a blemish on their faces, ahh the joys of photoshop..if only they knew. The average brit asain living in a western society has a different battle on their hands, I just hope we can retain some of those oldschool values that our elders instilled in us, integrate..sure but never illuminate.
