You know you have spent too much time abroad when during your visit to India, you enter a restaurant and, for a moment, wonder, "wow, yahaan par to sab desi hain" before you realize, "you are in India, dude" :D
I get off the plane and go "oh sardar", "oh another sardar", "Oh! a whole bunch of sardars" the southie me, took a while to realise that probably I was the sore thumb there :)
Ha ha ha...Sometimes in apni Dilli I am looking around for a Starbucks..expecting people to be civil while lining up outside the metro. In Sweden I use 'en guete' 'danke' and expect people to be cold and unfriendly (which they are shockingly not!!People can be really good here!) I have a major Zurich hangover!!
it happened to me in Delhi.
