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…….
