- - SO this is the deal : While you had a desi moment, and you wanted to share, please remember a story should always start with 'Today' and end with 'MLID'
- - If your story isn't published on our website, try to be desi-er next time!
Every desi adult I know uses their middle finger instead of their index finger to point to something. If my parents are pointing something on a poster, americans give us the evil eye, because they think we're swearing. MLID

I've seen old white people do this, actually. So I guess it's only younger generations that would get offended.
