What habits did you learn in India that have stuck?

  • I always say no first when someone offers me something Although I want it very badlyyy:P
  • Whenever I see an Indian elder in a foreign land, I say Namaskaram and touch their feet.
  • Eat with hands - That feel
  • I so need to have atleast one spicy meal a day. Subways, pizzas,sandwiches etc., can never get my love as much as a pinch of mango oorkai(Indian mango pickle) can.
  • Always tie my hair to a pony when I go to a temple
  • Whenever I get cold/throat irritation, I have a hot cup of masala milk.
  • Offering food to colleagues here during lunch - The look that they give
  • I hesitate before asking for a second helping
  • Whenever I visit a friend’s place, I always buy something for them
  • I can never stretch my legs in front of an elderly person. Although it not a big deal in US
  • I still write e-mails addressing professors by their position title.
  • Still prefer using bath soap over body wash
  • Whenever someone comes to visit me at home, the first thing I do is offer them something to eat
