Ah, well, to tell you the truth (and I'm being dead serious here)I have never heard anything so insanely seductive as a thick indian accent, which I seldom find hard to understand. It's damn cute, too. And I find the "mistakes" very charming. It's certainly not plain. I am 100% white (21, Portland, Oregon) and, well, I am guilty of being a little googlie for the Indian lads here...they are so fun to talk to and to spend time with and learn about...and the darker, the better. And the thicker the accent, the more attraction there is from my side, at least. Glasses? A big plus...but now I'm sounding weird...ha ha. My point is...I don't understand why anyone wouldn't adore the Indian accent, though I haven't heard all the dialects...but I  suspect they are all beautiful. (I actually have never heard such precision in English as that used by my Indian friends!)

living in nyc, i can only say this: after hearing so many ppl speak in the desi and irish accents, it just seems like another “kind” of english! but the desi accent, w/out a doubt, bags the award for being the funniest!

I’m a gay abcd man w/ a fob boytoy…it took me awhile to train myself not to laugh every time he opened his mouth to speak during a fit of passion…hehehe

The comedian Russell Peters has a hilarious bit about the desi accent. It's at 26:40 in the video clip:

"Indian people are fully aware of what their accent sounds like... We know it's not the coolest accent in the world. We don't need you to tell us that."
