 I have found that on the outside, Indians are among the friendliest
critters around {good enough to be pets :-)}, but at a family level
are among the most irritable.  Beware, Prentiss, you're getting
into some hot blood! :-)  Like earlier immigrants, Indians brought a
vast supply of traditions one of which was the parasite:
						SHORT-TEMPEREDNESS.
Like any inheritable disease, short-temperedness has been passed from
father to son for countless generations, but promise of a brighter
future shines forth from the dark tunnel of the past.  As Indians
acculturate/assimilate, the belts of the deshis will gradually loosen.
That should comfort you women out there who are 'stuck' with Indian
husbands! :-)
