Your best friend

[PakLFC]

This thread is about who we regard as our best friend, family or blood ties doesn't count. Believe me or not mines is a Indian Hindu guy who is about 10 years older then me. Friendship recognises no age, ethnicity or faith. A very polite and well spoken guy with excellent manners we've known each other for over ten years He obviously is a die hard Indian Cricket fan where as I bleed green and white I am in telecommunications and he a solicitor, I get a better salary Yes we argue over Kashmir and Indo-Pak issue, he a great critic of so called partition where as I would have it no other way After visiting Pak with me many years back he was amazed at how different it is to what the Indian media portray it as He loves Arsenal to bits where as I can't see past Liverpool!. We're unconditional friends even if Indo-Pak had a war we'd still be best pals!

My 2 best friends are an Indian Muslim and a Brahmin guy. We rarely ever talk about religion and we have a lot in common.

Of course, very rarely we do sometimes tease each other and crack Muslim and Brahmin jokes. All of us are good sports.

I doubt my Muslim friend and Brahmin friend take it lightly if anyone else would dare to crack a Brahmin joke or Muslim joke. Both of my friends are back in India.

 

[Rayyman]

Don't have that many friends or any best friend.

My best friend is a Muslim too and he doesn't get offended by any islamophobic jokes either.
Think he might be scared of me.

its kinda sad and bizarre (to me) that you identify him as brahmin..

why not just say hindu if you have to? (though it needn't even come to that)

This reminds me of the homework assignments we used to get in primary school: write an essay on “My Best Friend.”

I tried to, but the guy ran away the moment I poked him with my pen.

The next day I had to assume the dreaded murgha position for not competing the homework.

Have a handful of friends who call me few times a year, but no best friend. They say misery loves company, but for me company brings misery.

Hard to pick between two. One's an archconservative, almost PakLFC like in his support to the army and a stereotypical "sarkari Pakistani" so logic dictates that we should despise each other but I don't think I've ever had a more loyal friend. The other's essentially a slightly toned down version of me.

Indian Hindu's and Sikh's are far better to get along with compared to Indian Muslim''s as far as I am concerned. The burden of sharing the same faith as their Muslim's is like drawing a line in the sand. I avoid Indian Muslim's as they try so very hard to be more Indian then the majority community by bashing Pakistan. When some almost daily now anti-Muslim event occurs in India they expect our support something that most Pakistanis never give them and we should not either. There "Shah se zyaada Shah ke wafadaar" attitude leaves them neither here nor there. With Indian Hindu's and Sikh's things are much easier and normal where one knows where the other stands. I generally find Indian Muslim's to be very irritating, annoying, highly illogical and confused people.

Reminds me of this joke. Sorry for diverting the topic , mods.

A kid studying for his English exam expected to be asked to write an essay. So he picked an essay on 'My Friend', and learned it by rote.

Unfortunately, the next day he was asked to write an essay on 'My Father'. So he got creative and replaced 'friend' with 'father' in the essay that he had learned. This was the result:

My Father

I am a very fatherly person
I have lots of fathers. Some are male and some female.
My mother is very close to all my fathers.
My uncle is also my father.
My best father is my neighbor.
I love all my fathers, because it is necessary to have lots of fathers.



To get back on the topic

I am married to my best friend.

Brahmins usually take their religion more seriously than an average Hindu.

Are you implying they don't usually socialize much or like to make friends because of their religiosity cause frankly that's what the post seem to convey ?
Lol and looks like you seem to have been away from India for too long. Brahmins are some of the most irreligious Indians these days.

Orthodox Brahmins of south India take religion very seriously. Of course there are many Brahmins who do not care about religion at all or quite skeptic in their views about religion.

Any South Indian Brahmins in this board can confirm how strict orthodox Brahmins can get in South India.

So does that mean they are reluctant in making new friends?
