You know a
girl is desi if:
- she never leaves the house without a ridiculous amount of makeup on, especially enough powder or foundation to make her face white
- will not go a desi function unless she is dressed from head to to toe, with makeup and enough jewlery to be a bride, and the most badass high heels
- believes that in order to be attractive she must starve herself and be
stick thin
- her meal consists only of a diet coke
- is up to date with the lastest skin
tight fashions
- has stabbed you in the back atleast once, if not regularly
you know a guy is desi if:
- he has cheated on his girlfriend not once, not twice, but atleast three times
- in order to make it up to the girlfriend he constantly cheats on he marrys her
- and even after
marriage will cheat on her
- has a overwheming smell, either cologne or BO
- his name rhymes with his
brother's names
- hangs around the back of the room with a group of his looser friends and smokes ciggarettes while they hollar at
hot, skinny desi girls together

drunk and into a fist fight every night he goes out
***** a desi will stare at you with his/her typical judgemental look when you pass by, just because you look like you could be from India/Pakistan/Bangledesh. It doesn't matter where you are, who you are with and if you have never met them in your life. *****
