Stuff Desi People Like

1. Desis love to bargain
2. Desis loving to be using the funny grammar
3. Desis love talking about their digestive tract
4. Desi women love pulling stuff out of their cleavage
5. Desis love telling you about having $8.00 in their pocket

Admittedly inspired by the hugely successful Stuff White People Like, Alka is embarking on a similar project about Desis. She calls it – Desis 101. I leave it up to you to judge if it meet the standards of its inspiration but she is just starting and it may get better.

Update: Randomizer informs us of a similar site, Stuff Desi/Brown People Like which is already at #28. In fact, there is another one that Randomizer unearthed – Stuff Indians Like and it was apparently the first off the block in getting inspired (at #182 currently).

Really enjoyed this post and went to the site, leaving comments there. I can’t wait to see what other additions may be added to this list!

Hi, I’m not sure if you have mentioned this before, but there seems to be another desi knock-off of stuffwhitepeoplelike. It’s called http://stuffdesislike.wordpress.com/ and I thought you might also want to mention that in this post… It has quite a few posts up already (28), and at first glance, it looks quite promising.

May the best site win!

[ Not sure if my comment went through or not, but am posting again. ]

This knock-off is imho the best of the lot, with the most posts and comments:

http://www.stuffindianslike.com/

It seems like it was started way before the other two as well.
