I haven't seen any aspie from india here at WP yet (I am a new joiner 
), so I thought of starting this forum to get to know each other. I'll start by myself.
My name is Saurabh (aka Sabu).
Location: Bangalore, India
Hope to see you here friends

Hi Minhaj, nice to hear from you
Namaste little tiger, nice to hear from you too . Its good you like learning new languages. Suggest you learn C language (forgive me I am a Geek 
). On serious note, we here can surely help you learn hindi 
.
Hello Dhaval, you know what, I have a very good friend whose name is also Dhaval. Nice to hear from you
First of all sorry for replying sooooooo late 
... I was too preoccupied with work and then with my brothers marriage. But now all ended well... n I am back. Better and fitter than ever.
I seriously didn't thought I could find people from India here, with all the unawareness about aspergers/autism in India. Really if I tell some one about it, first they don't understand, second they laugh saying I am mad or something. God help us here 
But its nice to meet you all. We can keep in touch through this.
Bye tc

Hey Dhaval, read your story man. I literally had tear in my eyes reading the first 2 paragraphs. This is exactly how an aspie feels in this world in his early days.
It reminded me of my old days, when I wasn't sure why no one took me seriously and people kept on discouraging me, laughing at me, kept on saying "tu ajeeb sa kyun hai, tujhe sabki tarah banna chahie" (why are you so strange, you should be like us). And I believed I was stupid or something and tried to copy them, in which obviously I was to fail 
. But one day I had enough I couldn't be like them cause I wasn't built that way and I finally revolted..... And it was never the same again. As is evident from my signature, which basically has two meanings . Now I really stand out from the crowd .
Your stroy is awesome man, I strongly suggest you write the second half.
Theres a saying (modified by me ) and I think second half should highlight this:
"All that glitters is not gold, n all thats brittle is not coal"
My score 8/10. Would give 10/10, when you'll write the second half.
Bye for now, its too late in the night, gotta go to work tommorrow.

daer god, india do they have the internet there yet?
15 Jan 2010, 10:21 am
do they have the internet there yet?Apparently since most businesses have been outsourced there. Other than that it is probably available only to those of the upper caste....that is if there are still hindus around.

Some people are going to die of shock if they visit India
All these impressions/opinions must be there because of the western media over-focusing on caste system in India. Hindus make up for 80% of India's population, and yet casteism exists only in rural areas (even there it's dying out). In cities it's not there anywhere, except in the minds of a very small number of people.
P.S. I am a lower caste Hindu, and I've been using the internet since 1998. Actually I belong to an untouchable caste LOL. Stop watching your local news documentaries ! !

Hi Sabu, totally agree with you on how people react when they hear about aspergers.
My younger sister and her husband live in Bangalore. I would love to meet you when I come over. If you can PM me your phone number it would be nice, I've got this 50 paise/min scheme so I can talk all over India
BTW how did your brother's marriage go? I find weddings extremely stressful, I hope you were able to enjoy!!

Thanks, I'll try to write the second half
Have you read a story called "The Country of the Blind" by H G Wells? I see a very strong allegory to our situation, though I'm sure it wasn't intended by Wells. You can read it here - http://www.online-literature.com/wellshg/3/
Are you a programmer? Do you face any challenges in the workplace? I once worked in a company where they played Radio Mirchi all day long. That was living hell for me.

That's good to know.
It's not just the western media however, I knew a guy from Mumbai who was always complaining about how horrid the caste systems over there were. I guess it depends on which region you're in....I'm assuming.

Well, the caste system in cities like Mumbai is less horrid than the racism in western countries (This I've heard from Indians living there
).
