1. Having spiked hair and a French beard is not so cool in the office.
2. No amount of shouting at your computer will make the internet as fast as it is in the USA.
3. Trudy's martinis, Chipotle Burrito Bols and homemade hookahs can never be replicated.
4. The UT ID does not give you free travel in a BEST bus.
5. Getting from one point to another in 45 minutes is an achievement.
6. Talking in Hindi when you want to make fun of people does not work; they know what you are saying.
7. Giving missed calls is not only accepted, it is expected.
8. My cricket skills are not as good as I thought.
9. When the temperature touches 90 F , it is one of the cooler days of the year.
10. Ask about the weather, and people think you are an idiot.
11. Cars DO NOT wait for you to cross.
12. Sunday mornings are spent reading the newspaper instead of playing cricket.
13. A vada pav can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner and anytime in between.
14. It is normal to prefer staying at home on a Saturday night to watch who gets eliminated on Indian Idol as opposed to partying.
15. Telling yo mama jokes can get you killed.
16.Even though I am back, I don't meet my relatives any more than when I was in Austin.
17. And lastly: Marine Drive, and not 6th Street, is the place to be.
