All most all ads say "ladki soum our sala ki paband hai"
All matrimonial ads. Say "shadi mein jaldi hai, ladki ke bhai bahar is aye huwe hain"

Finally Shadi Ke Din
Invitations clearly mention that nikaah is at 7 pm but dulhe raaja arrives at 8:30, 9:00. 9:30.
Soon after nikah, people are desperately waiting for some one to announce "aaiye" (call for dinner) because on his way to the function hall he will stop at a cool drink store and drinks 7up or pepsi (bhook khulne) and the moment he hears the call "aaiye he jumps like hungry dog.
They are crazy about "Chicken" puri dish undal leta mauka milte hi. Doosre guest ka khyaal nahi karta.

Hyderabadis in Gulf
They love India and especially Hyderabad but they don't love their community. Ek doosre ki taang kheechte rahte.
Most of them look for "secretarial" jobs thats the only position they fit in.
Naya Naya jo bhi aata us ke purane phard dete. "kaiku aaye miya, kya hai yaan pe, khatam hogaya sab. Kurchan baqi hai, wainpe kuch bhi karlena tha"
They are not very aggressive in hunting jobs these days because they are brain washed by seniors "rigga zaroori hai, rigge bagair nai hota"
Those who are working they follow a routine Office, ghar, sleep, dinner, chatting with friends (+ aadhi chai, couple times and doosroun ki gheebat), TV and go to bed)
By: Amjad Lala
Families Gulf
Most "badnaam" community.
Living standard is very low.
They only buy used stuff. If you tell them to buy new or good quality furniture or appliances they reply "kya karna hai, apne ku kounsa zindagi bhar yahan pe rahna hai. India me ghar set karna, yahan pe nai qarach karna" and they stay here for almost half of their life 25, 30 years and will not go unless they are kicked out.
Their! only ambition in life is "Property" har kisi ka maqsad Zindagi ka "property" hai
