*rolleyes*

I am talking about random desis who give a great big moth ball smell sneak attack when they walk past me, i thought i made that clear on my first post and i didn't say every single desi person smelt that way...

also since it wasn't just one person i just wanted to know what was up with that..

also i didn't start us vs them, it was the person who brought up tongue scraper, blackheads puller or whatever diff kinds of gadgets there are

😆😆😆 yeah...whatever *rolling eyes* 

 may be "that person", who happens to have an id here, also used ur thread to get answer to her question....the scrap wala question😉  what's the big deal yaar😆

okie, since u did get ur anwer about why moth balls are used and u don't seem to be too  happy with it......lemme suggest a remedie then...stop smelling people...ermmm.....i mean keep ur distance if it is such a big problem for u😊.  don't know what else to say😆

It was a simple comment, no need to get so worked up

lol. never. but it sure looked like those moth balls had u worked up 😉

btw, what's with this? your comments are simple. others are not?

and start a "us" vs "them" convo thank you

u started it yourself by framing it in a way as if it looked like a peculiar desi thing. so u have only urself to thank. there!😆

Sorry must have been me. I was into huffing dichlorobenzene, then the professors introduced me to sharpies.

Btw what is up with the vampire slayers carrying garlic around?

Oh and I just had to ask - are you one of them Wincest people?

Yeah I love all three Winchester boys *drool*

and I write fanfics at Wincest fan club 😳 😃

It was a simple comment no need to get so worked up and turn this into a cultural debate...😛

Oh I tell you its still better than not scraping the tounge every day and torturing the people around with their bad breath...I was kind of taken aback when I first got to know that the non desi people have no concept of scraping the tounge and most of the time they make do with just a mouth wash...🤢😲

  I still use the ulliya and most of my cuz from india have stopped using the ulliya and to tell you that their breath is horrible🤢

Oh one more thing. I don't care what people say about eating garlic. I love it. I cannot eat indian food without those spices.. but I'm always clean too. 😳

Darn it! Why do I always show up late for these things? *looking around bug eyed*
What'd'I miss? What'd'I miss?

Okay, I just HAVE to pitch in.

1. Aah, the mothballs. Because the moths in hamara Hindustan, like the desis themselves are so very persistent and hard working, unlike the moths here in Amreeka who dont even put in an effort. Thus, the extra strong scented mothballs. Dichlorobenzene plus plus.
2. No, silly, we dont use them for regular wear. *gasp* Do you?! If so, stop. I know we desis inspire hygiene every where we go, but seriously there is a right way to do these things and a wrong way. And spritzing moth ball powder on your daily wear is the wrrrrong way.
3. Aaah, the tongue scraper. The secret to my minty fresh breath. *sticking my mouth in everyone's face* See here, smell. No smell. *sticking a random non-desi dude's mouth in everyone's face* Now see here. Smell. Eww. That's my point.
4. And no, just because we'all eat curry doesnt mean we'all smell like curry. I just know that's coming next. See here *sticking my armpits in everyone's face* Smell me. Smell that juicy fruity smell? And I didnt even eat any fruits today. See, no correlation.

Ohoho. Dont be shy, okay. Plis to ask more qweshuns. We clarify everything.

LMAO! This has to be the most brilliant piece I have read on the forum for a long time. Why it inspired me to go scrape my tongue!!!!Did you know if you drink a lot of salt water you smell like the sea?
