Ayush answered your first question. North Indian food is really good and a lot of the dishes are extrememly good.Although there are not that many South Indian specialities,they have the most excotic flavours and are downright sexy to eat. South Indians have the better pickles though. dunno much about masala chai,as you need respect to have it....At least thats how it is here. @Ayush where are you from?Which state? | ||

I was born in India and my parents are also Indian but I have spent only 5 years in India hence the reason I was not comfortable answering the other questions asked before. What about you? I assume you are from the south? | ||

'Cos if the surroundings are cold, its a commonly held belief that drinking cold things (esp. with ice) can cause a cold/URI. All indian grandmothers advise against it so.... | ||

Also, how popular is poker in India, growing not at all, kinda, and why are Indian women so damn hot? I know it's kinda repetitive, but Korean women think that Indian women are extremely beautiful with their big eyes and full lips...^^ btw, excellent thread, learned a lot in just 2 pages; I had a business trip to India once (Goa), but I cancelled it because I didn't want India included in my list of markets that I had to manage at the time. Indian women love American Citizens! hahaha coz they get them greencards! somewhat like the mexicans. (this is a joke! please dont take it seriously) but ive noticed indian women tend 2 like white guys more. Poker is getting increasingly popular in india, although gambling and poker tournaments are illegal in india . and i cant answer the indian women question because i dont find them hot, as a typical indian male i ALWAYS prefer white girls! haha xD | ||

My dad claims they do because of one encounter he had with an Indian in Singapore. If so, do you eat it, and is it ridiculously spicy like my dad claims? curry is a generalised term,there are many different curries,not all of them are super spicy,some of them have other kind of spicyness that makes it an exotic flavor... I always wanted to say this but here goes.Its not rwally spicy...its just that...well..you're white?(no offense) | ||

How different are the Vishnavites and Shivites? What is the relationship between these two sects? Are Vishnavites and Shivites hostile toward eachother or is everyone accepting? Also, are cities and towns usually have a huge majority of Vishnavites and Shivites or is it pretty balanced? | ||
