Jump to postOn a personal note, I agree that many desis can be quite parochial. I used to be quite open and only called myself Indian.

Jump to postThe news media is always looking out for these kind of stories.

Jump to postThanks Karan for not putting any MAA nonstop flights to the U.S.
NOT!!
HYD gets EWR three times a week, but not MAA? C'mon!
She's just an angry Manhattan socialite disguised as a journalist. Her diatribes are obnoxious and snobbish.
She has absolutely nothing in common with the average U.S. citizen, as she is a product of the east coast journalistic circles.

Jump to postThanks for the statement, Nimish. That's exactly what I was saying.
Everyone else here is making these wild and not so funny insults at south Indians and me and that is just wrong.
I can't believe that all of you guys who criticize me can't understand that the significant population base in Madras deserves and needs direct flights to Europe and beyond without stopping in BOM/DEL. Before you criticize me further, why are you so against MAA have as many international flights to ...
Jump to postDon't hold your breath.
They will probably all do cargo here and passengers at IAH!!
Wow, I am suprised at the MAVS!!
How they got it together last night!!
All of it will be for naught if they don't win Game 4 on Saturday, though.
Thanks for your sentiments, EA CO AS!!
Nice to know ya!!
Jaysit, You speak like a snobbish North Indian telling us down south to shut up and accept <acronym title="Air India">AI</acronym> whether we like it or not!

Jump to postShawn,
Well if you like BOM or DEL layovers, then keep using them. For the rest of us, many of us who are proud South Indians, we want and deserve to go to the west without stopping in BOM or DEL.
I completely agree, Aseem.
AI needs direct, nonstop flights from MULTIPLE gateways to India to Europe/USA.
Stop making people in Bangalore, Madras, Hyderabad stop in BOM first before heading west. It's insulting and a waste of time.
Good for DFW about CX cargo services.
C'mon guys, the passenger services are a pipe dream.
Everyone needs to stop the "AI needs to come to xxx and NOT to yyy". To be honest, there are enough Indians spread out over many U.S. metros to warrant <acronym title="Air India">AI</acronym> service. Some metros will merit daily service, and others maybe several times a week. Either way, let's all ...

Jump to postJust an observation, by me, personally in the area I described. When you give a eyewitness account, you report a spade as a spade.
No racism involved, just facts. If you don't like it, then you must not like the truth. Don't play the race card against me just because you don't like the result.
Unfortunately, I must say this as a Mavs fan:
RIP 2004-2005 season, especially after last night's game.
The Rockets are playing over their heads, and McGrady is playing at Jordanesque levels. The Mavs are done.
Just remember one thing when it comes to education: PARENTS Sure, teachers and their unions are out of control and whether they actually care is up for debate. Sure, inner city schools lack certain infrastructure and materials. PARENTS make the biggest difference in the world!! A parent who raises a...

Jump to postWill local channels be HD even in small podunk towns like mine?!!
Right now, I have to order regular basic cable for my local channels because I live in a small town and DirecTV doesn't have local channels for my market.
But Dish does not have the NFL package. The NFL Sunday ticket is an exclusive to DirecTV. This is a huge importance for some like me who live in one city but are fans of a faraway team that would never get televised. The only thing exclusive about the Dish network is that you can only watch Indian s...

Jump to postHey Homer,
Saw that you are from Houston. I am a Mavs fan in south Texas.
Are you going to any of the games at Toyota Center?
On the games, themselves, you may be right, unfortunately.
Dallas has trouble with inside, defensive teams with big centers.
Which do you prefer? I have both actually, because only DirecTV has the NFL package, and only Dish has the Indian subcontinent channels. My only complaint is that DirecTV only has basically about 10 channels with <acronym title="Hokkaido International Airlines (Japan)">HD</acronym>. Does Dish have m...
