yaar, doh shabd ki galati toh Antakshari mein bhi maaf hoti hai😕....😆 Good catch. What I actually meant that they brag about over the weekend get togethers what they made trading stocks. Sequence thoda hil gaya😆

I think there are more people who brag about their assets and achievements then people who ask about your net worth..

nahhh...I have seen way too many who want to do both...brag about the money they made and how much you earn.

It is more prevalent in recently immigrated desis who are still trying to get to know each other but once they settle down into a group of people with more or less similar economic status they stop comparing and start enjoying each other more.

well, once they settle down and have inquired how much everyone in their circle is making......they do start enjoying more but comparisons never go away. That's where the rat race comes in. I usually steer clear of people who are like this😊

I have noticed this trend with IT people (especially the ones who are contract employees) and the small scale businessmen like grocery stores, real estate agent etc. Most of the people who went to school here and went for higher education usually do not need to brag about how much they are making. Exceptions are everywhere but this is the trend I have noticed in desi community here.

Nosy people will always be nosy,however hard you try avoiding them.I love giving them answers that keep them wondering or steer clear of me.
Reminds me of two different incidents.
1.When in college I used to visit one of our friend's place who happened to be a guy for our weekly adda.My uncle staying a few blocks away from them once sarcastically mentioned "I see you in our colony all the time".So I told him one day,"Oh you didn't know, he is my boy friend and his parents adore me".That shut him up.😛
2.Once while traveling on a bus for a road trip,a lady sitting next to me started chatting with me and eventually asked me about my caste. I was in the mood for mischief and told her I was a Harijan.Within 10 minutes she went and sat in a different seat and I had the luxury of stretching my legs.😆
Here in the US, no one has asked me such inquisitive questions yet.But yes people do brag.I just don't acknowledge the bragging.

😆😆😆

I used to take my little cousin for a walk, and I'd meet this woman everyday at the local veg shop. One day she asked me if my cousin was my daughter, and I said yes she was. Her next statement was that I didn't look married and I said " maine ye kab kaha ki meri shadi ho gayee hai!" 😆

If people ask me my salary, I always give a fabulously exaggerated amount and tell them how much I have in my bank, and how soon I am planning to retire 😆

^^(All of the above) 😆😆😆!

@ Tania: What's a Harijan? 😕

Well I guess it would look better to give a witty comment in response! Something that would make them look stupid and wished they had never asked in the first place! And yeah it's not good to these people too much acknowledgement, big headed ********!
