#The Stage#

1. You get your ticket’s worth as soon as you spot the yogi and his firangi[foreigner] girlfriend. 

Eyyyyyy, you sneaky sneaky, bastard. 

Eyyyyyy, you sneaky sneaky, bastard.

 

2. Quick tips on how to save seats, coming to a theater near you.

The memo read clearly – When dealing with Asians, please display loads of eager civility. 

 

4. There will always be a beautiful brown girl in the story.

And, OMG, look at the Ramleela earrings!!! 

 

5. Holy shit. This dude painted with both hands and upside down for half the time.

9. Modi, the steel tumbler and the rotating stage.

They are in every God damn house. Those tumblers. 

 

10. Yes, Muslims were there too. 

Yes, we get along really well. And yes, they are Indian and Muslim. 

 

11. Elsewhere, Times Square looked like this!

#The Speech#

 

12. This guy who answers nature’s calls in nature came up a lot in the speech.

Wait buddy, they are building toilets!! This time, it might be for real. 

 

13. Apparently, the Indian Police is getting really good with their timing.

And, Bollywood’s irrational version of a cop usually has a sexy girlfriend and Eastern European dancers for his entourage. 

 

14. Corrupt politicians will no longer be able to curry favor. 

IMG_5564

There is no ration on this, except for the garib[the poor man]. 

 

15. These ladies came up a lot. Mother India, Maa[Mother] Durga, Maayi[Mother] Ganga. 

IMG_5546

Sooooooooo many mothers. #IncredibleIndia.

 

16. He will combine PIO[Person of Indian Origin] and OCI[Overseas Citizenship of India] statuses and all PIOs will get lifetime Indian Visas. 

P2131764 (1)

Bottom line, until that sorts out, we keep marrying for Greencards. 

 

17. He talked very briefly about the most successful “mission” during his term as Prime Minister.

#The Social media Spectacle#

 

18. PIO card. Check. Good school district. Check. Home. Check. Nissan Leaf. Check.

19. Swag? Oh yeah, we Desis got it!  

IMG_5520

There is absolutely no mention of what she is inspired to do! 

 

20. This guy was under the spell.  

And, he forgot to SPELL!! 

 

21. A nation of lions and loin cloths! 

IMG_5519

Why this “motivational quote” was any different in the first place, I will never know. 

 

22. We don’t miss even the remotest references to the English Man’s game. 

IMG_5529

Suckers, now you can retire, hurt. 

 

23. #ModiInAmerica encouraged #MakeInIndia and the use of his business development website “mygov.in”. 

IMG_5512

There will always be a “gotcha” guy who always wants to dilute our happiness. 

 

24. Gotcha Guy #2.

IMG_5542

Wow, you are a true national hero. No, no, not you Gandhi

 

25. Gotcha Guy #3. 

IMG_5543

26. BTW, for your next Beyoncé concert, the venue has changed.
