Indian Machan
I was inspired by something that I read in my Friendster and in another blog to write about this. No, do not worry. This time my rifles are not pointed towards bashing something that is totally unnecessary. That is the reason my first line used the word ‘inspired’ rather than the word ‘raged’.
First of all, I’m having quite a lot of problems to deal with lately and losing few articles had really troubled me into updating my blog as per normal. Apologies. Rest assured, I pledge to make things as entertaining as it has always been whenever I write something.
See, being an Indian , we always have something in common when it comes to our daily activities. More common in a way how we deal some things in our life.
Let me walk you through to some introduction on what I would like to talk about today. Indian teenagers refers to them as ‘Machans; now that applies if you’re Indian and you’re in between the age group of 17- 27. Why it ends at 27 is because most of us end up sleeping with their own wife instead of screwing around with the girlfriends after that age.
So, the story is like this:
What describes you as a true Indian Machan? Read on. Some of the points to describe and I know there is more.
1. You come back home drunk and your father slaps you and says that you’re a totally useless son.
1.1 The same father goes and tells to the relatives how proud he is after you graduated or started working
2. Your mother calls you like 5-10 times if you’re not at home by 10 pm.
3. You called another guy ‘punda maven’ unnecessarily even if he is just looking at you
4. You think it looks cool to wind down your window and blast your cheap standard Kancil speakers in front of a school
5. You can top up for your girlfriend, but when your mother wants to use your phone, always no credit.
6. You go to clubs with 25 of your friends and all of you share money and end up buying a bottle of liquor.
7. You advice your younger cousins do not drink alcohol while having a bottle of beer in your hand.
8. You drink up with your friends and call a girl in the middle of the morning and bash her up with all kind of bad words.
9. All you have to talk with your friends when you drink is how a girl cheated you.
10. You put some local Tamil movies songs and dance your hearts out in birthday or wedding dinner.
11. You shout ‘Merdeka’ all the way driving back home while holding a bottle of beer
12. You feel proud when your girlfriend or your friends calls you ‘Kudikaren’.
13. You go to Thaipusam and feel like you want to dance when you hear the ‘Urumee Melam’.
14. You get beaten up or threatened by your girlfriend’s brothers.
15. You say the girl is a bitch if you heard she got 2 boyfriends or more before this.
16. You go to a wedding and your relative compares you with the other cousins on how you’re doing in life.
17. You wear boot cut jeans and you think ‘carrot’ cut is for lamers.
18. You drink for every occasion - Thaipusam, Deepavali, Ponggal, Death, Birth, ‘Vayaseke Vanthe Day’, Wedding, Engagement, Divorce, Valentine, Friendship and others.
19. You can love other’s sister, but others can’t love your sister.
20. You buy cheap liquors, drink outside the club, and then go inside the club and order a jug of beer and stay until the club closes.
And the list will go on and on. Please take note this is just for fun but actually it does contain some truth on it. Ponder upon the points; you might have done some yourself. Have a pleasant weekend!
