11 reasons why you must absolutely have gujju friends ... to all my lovely gujjus old and new .. thanks nidhi @ YOU WILL NEVER GO HUNGRY Your ‘Gujju’ friend will always have some stock of food – possibly a variation of ‘dhokla’, ‘gathiya’ and ‘fafda’ stashed away. If for some reason, they forget their tiffin your friend will know the shortest route to the next available food joint along with what the chef recommends. THERES A NEW MEANING TO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE Thanks to your new best friend, you can get away with words like Rap [pronounced R@pe], Snacks [pronounced Snakes – with an emphasis on the ‘e’] and Office [pronounced as HO-ffice]. You may end up getting a second look but no one will ever question your motives or beat you up! Plus, when you abuse someone it usually ends up being funny if you use words like ‘gand`oo’ [mad], ‘daff`or’ as in dumb or ‘gadhedo’ [donkey]. ALWAYS CONNECTED – EVERYWHERE! Pick a country and your ‘Gujju’ friend will have a second or third cousin [a Patel, Mehta or Shah] from their second uncles’ – sons’ side living there. What’s more? He/she will have their numbers saved all ready to help should you feel the urge to eat ice cream from Uzbekistan. YEH DIL MANGE MORE ! Thanks to your ‘Gujju’ friend you will always get more than you ask for. So what if you shamelessly ask for an extra ‘pani puri with ragda’ after you’ve just hogged down three plates. There is always room for one more. Plus you always end up ordering order 1/2 (1 by 2) of everything because you get more quantity in two halves than one complete portion. VALUE FOR MONEY You think you know how qualified your friend is. You don’t! Every ‘Gujju’ friend has attended a secret school where they’ve acquired a PhD in ‘the art of bargaining’. Thanks to them, you will always get value for money and know the best and most cost effective places to buy anything. So the next time you want to shop, take your friend along! DANCE LESSONS 24 X 7 Remember that your ‘Gujju’ friend can break into a gig anytime of the day. So what if you have two left feet and are chilling in a night club. You will end up getting a dance lesson on how to customize the garba to any occasion. LINGUISTIC EXPERT Thanks to your ‘Gujju’ friend, you can now speak over 100 languages. How? By simply adding ‘Gujarati’ words to any and every language there is. Simple che! THE UNBELIEVABLE BUSINESS ACUMEN Entrepreneurs by nature, your Gujju buddy will always have some sound advice to help your dream come along.
