Reminds me, my dad said there is some Shankar playing at UCSB in a few weeks. We might cruise up and hang out at Campbell Hall for some jams. The last concert he and I went to was Ravi down in the OC. (yeah, I *MIGHT* have used my tape recorder to bootleg a copy)

Unfortunately, many of the Patel's of my generation are not going along the hotel/gas station/business path. Damn kids

Hah... there are a metric fuck-ton of Patels.

"Within the United Kingdom, it is the twenty-fourth most common surname nationally, and the third most common in the Greater London region. In the US, the surname "Patel" ranks 174 among the top 500 list of most common last names, as of the 2000 US Census. In the Canadian city of Toronto, "Patel" is the sixth most common surname."

A metric fuck ton lololol

Lol, actually us old school Patel's use a unit that the receiving individual can't comprehend. So yes, in America we use the metric system :b

Mywifes335 · 04-06-2016, 02:33 PM

Just take it and GO!

Really? Do tell. I didn't know there would have been a system that was still somewhat in use? I mean, I assumed different groups would have had their own systems - but I didn't know anything was recent enough to still be remembered? Are you Gujarat? I had a good work friend who is Gujarat - very interesting stories on the remarkable differences across the areas.

Yes, I'm a Guju.

Since we're known to negotiate on shit for fun, we have an entire book of tricks and theories that are pretty much understood by most old style Guju's.

The using different units/language trick is to throw off the seller. Most people don't know what a meter is in feet, or kilo is in lbs, or what a crore rupees is in dollars. Since we usually hunt in packs, we converse about deals on the spot.

Example:

We can't let the Porsche salesman know that the final target price with trade and tax is $54,000 for the Cayenne that has a sticker of of $90,000. We'd get kicked out before we'd even get our 2nd cup of free coffee. Hence, we never speak in English when talking amongst ourselves about his offer.

Aatish · 04-06-2016, 02:48 PM

Gujarati's = Jews of India

Is the best way I can describe my people. Or at least, that's what it used to be

Omg! You are so right. When I was in college I sold Toyotas and Lexuses. Gujus would haggle the WHOLE day and bring the entire family. Kakas and everything!
