Thank you Jayshree for the education, you are always a wealth of information. Large community of Punjabi Indians, in my community. In fact, I tutor little girl whose grandparents are from that region in India, so I’m exposed to their culture everyday. I’m very good friends with both her parents and grandparents. I’ll be taking to them, and they will say something like when referring to a mural Indian,”He’s from the south.” I guess this is also true in America, the United States has its own distinct areas of cultural influence and accents.
Thanks for the feedback, Charlotte. Your story is so true! This default instinct does surface with most people of Indian origin, especially the previous generations. I agree with your observation — the US carries its own distinct differences, though perhaps they’re used less dramatically in social settings to sketch in someone's background.

Very enjoyable and instructive, as usual. Thank you for your posts.
Thanks, Gary! I appreciate it.
Very well written.
Thanks, Doug.
Clear as mud! Just kidding. Many thanks for answering my question.
