Tom, Dick and Harry Patel

My sister and I were talking the other day about when South Asians shorten their names to western names to “fit” in. We’re still surprised that younger generations still do it, very weird. I definitely run into this when I’m working on the Motel Project. I’m gonna go with Craig from now on, what do you think?

Here are some examples:

Chiraag = Craig

Govind = Gary

Sanmukh = Sammy

Ramesh = Randy

It reminded me of this short clip from Goodness Gracious Me, hilarious…….
