Patel

One thing no one disputes is that the Patels practically own Gujarat.

Patels could well be a generic name for well-heeled Indians at large. The "Patel shot" is now a generic term for standard touristy Indians take in front of a famous location like the Eiffel Tower or Niagara Falls. Some years back, referring to the profusion of Indians in the tech world, someone coined the expression 'Intel Inside, Patel Outside'.

For the longest time, "Keeping up with the Joneses" has been a popular expression. But linguistic revisionists are now suggesting that "Keeping up with the Joneses" be replaced with "Keeping up with the Patels", particularly since the idiom points to the growing Indian global influence.

With Patels, there are attributes outside consumptive tendencies which do not square with the Joneses. They are exceptional entrepreneurs -an industrious, self-made, risk-taking lot. Joneses are more likely well-bred aristocrats, the kind that inhabit Wodehouse's world.

A recent survey in Britain that examined buying behavior of the country's most common surnames showed that the Patels are spending more per head on electronic goods and gadgets than any other group. It shows Patels splurged $5,000 a year on items such as home entertainment systems, computers, phones, cameras etc, far more than the Jones (who came in 16th), Smiths and Browns.
Jones: I'm having a hard time keeping up with the Patels.
Smith: Me too Jonesy. One rich Patel outbid me about ten thousand dollars on ebay.

A professional dickteaser with an incredible ability to seduce people in doing whatever she wants. Using her outstanding beauty she strips men of their dignity by making them drive up three hours and receive nothing in exchange - no compliments, no thank yous, no hand holding and EVEN not one titty! Not even one titty! She will make any men buckle to her demands. Warriors will throw down their swords and surrender themselves to the "Princess" 's every command.

The princess can be found in her natural habit, preying for unsuspecting guys every moment of the day. She has a tendency of whipping her hair around and flickering her eyes to seduce whoever she wants. She is rumored to tease five guys in one night.

Be wary by friends. She is a MANEATTER .... times two. Remember: you won't even get one TITTY. Not even one. You'll be lucky to have her respond to your text message, let alone hold your hand.
What a Rachel Princess Patel! He drove up three hours to visit her - hoping for something. Maybe a quick peek. But she didn't submit. She didn't hold his hand. Didn't kiss him and of course didn't show him even one titty. After all, seeing one titty, is like seeing both right?
