You are Bangali if...
Everything you eat is savored In garlic, onion and naga
You try and reuse gift wrappers, gift boxes, and of course aluminum foil.
If you cannot find a safety pin you try to eject food particles from between your teeth by pressing your tongue against them and making a peculiar noise like, tshick, tshick, tschick, tschick.
You are standing next to the two largest size suitcases at the airport.
You arrive one or two hours late to a party - and think its normal.
You peel the stamps off letters that the Postal Service missed to mark up.
You recycle Wedding Gifts. !
You name your children in rhythms (example, Honey & Money, Sita & Gita, Ram & Shyam.)
All your children have pet names, which sound nowhere close to their real names.
You take Indian snacks, paan and cans of drinks anywhere it says "No Food Allowed"
You talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someone's house.
You load up the family car with as many people as possible.
You use plastic to cover anything new in your house whether it's the remote control, VCR, carpet or new couch.
Your parents tell you to not care what your friends think but they won't let you do certain things because of what the other "Sasa's And Sasi's " in the community will think.
You buy and display crockery, which is for special occasions, which never happen.
You have a vinyl tablecloth on your kitchen table.
You use grocery bags to hold garbage.
You keep leftover food in your fridge in as many numbers of bowls as possible.
Your kitchen shelf is full of jam jars containing anything other than jam, varieties of bowls and plastic utensils (got free with some household items).
You carry a stash of your own food whenever you ! travel ( and travel means any car ride longer than 15 minutes).
You own a rice cooker or a pressure cooker.
You fight over who pays the dinner bill and thats at the local chicken and chip place.
You live with your parents and you are 40 years old. (And they prefer it that way).
You don't use measuring cups when cooking.
You feel like you've gotten a good deal if you didn't pay tax.
You never learnt how to stand in a queue.
You can only travel if there are at least 5 persons to see you off or receive you whether you are traveling by bus, train or plane.
If she is NOT your daughter, you always take interest in knowing whose daughter has run off with whose son and feel proud to spread it at the velocity of more than the speed of light.
You only make long distance calls after 11 p.m.
If you don't live at home, when your parents call, they ask if you've eaten, even if it's midnight.
You call an older person you never met before "Sasa"
When your parents meet strangers and talk for a few minutes, you suddenly discover you're talking to a distant cousin.
Your parents don't realise phone connections to foreign countries have improved in the last two decades, and still scream at the top of their lungs when making calls to Bangladesh.
You have bed sheets on your sofas so as to keep them away from getting dirty.
When dining out, you think £1 is enough of a tip.
It's embarrassing if your wedding has less than 600 people.
You list your daughter as "fair and slim" to the marriage middle man no matter what she looks like.
You've seen the ground while inside the lavatory of a train.
All your Tupperware is stained with food color.
You have drinking glasses made of steel.
You have mastered the art of bargaining in shopping even if the shop is NEXT
