Dude… have some pity yaar. :-)
p.s. any knol* on if he is related to jennifer baichwal of manufactured landscapes fame?
*I am ahead of the curve.
Ravi is relatively nonplussed….he is from Indya where you need nerves of steel to cross the road. Anyone else would be emptying out their chuddies
C’mon Louie, who would be scared if a truck has finished crashing and you’re well inside the building away from danger? I think his reaction’s fairly normal though Manish.
However I mock him for saying Maaarzda. Who started this?
Anyone but an Indyan would be reduced to thumb sucking. Clearly you don’t understand Sanskrit, that wasn’t a yell he let out but the Vedic oath “O Yama, release me from this mortal coil so that I may drink soma with Indra”.
Best… thread… evar.
where is his Apu accent?
Fuckin traitor!
wow, that was hilarious.
This has been picked up on most local news stations - I saw it from my parents’ place in NY. Ravi handled it pretty well - I’ve seen people panic more when there is a bee buzzing by their head. As for his accent, he’s a Canuck.
Of course he handled it well, he is Indyan and we are the new Spartans. All probational Indyans are thrown into the wilds of Mumbai wearing nothing but a komanam and a look of steely determination. They must eat pani puri at 10 dubious looking chaat stalls. Only those who have the intestinal fortitude to avoid “loose motions” become Indyan. Indyans tonight we dine in Hell !
