b_M: I am not singling out because Bharat Desai is “Gujarati” [btw it's never Gujjus it should be always Gujarati - there is no such word in authentic Gujarati language as Gujjus, - Kapish?]. The reference to Gujarati was due to the fact that Richest Indian “Mukesh Ambani” is also Gujarati – just like me – and I posted a story by FORBES few weeks ago on SM, which predicted that Mukesh will be the richest man in the “World” by 2014. That’s all. I have nothing against Punjabis, Telugus, or Sindhis, or for that matter any others from any state in India.

@YoDad:

Why are you singling out Desai just because he's Gujarati? The others on this list are Punjabi, Telegu, and Sindhi. Also, Gujaratis are over-represented when compared to many Indian groups. Growing up, we only knew Gujjus and Punjabis.

I have never spent a single dollar surfing Facebook (as far as I know).

Advertisers have spent billions of dollars on the space sold by Facebook to show you their products, though. That's why Facebook is so into having you fill out all the demographic and interest sections. They even sell to you based on the pages you like.

You're not Facebook's customer. You're Facebook's commodity.

Dear goddess, that Outsourced SUCKED! They weren't even trying.

Great. Another Gujarati fellow. I just don't know how they do it?

Take heart, there are some rather ghetto gujjus in Houston. Still rich, but hood-rich.

Great. Another Gujarati fellow. I just don’t know how they do it? Desai received an MBA in finance from Stephen M. Ross School of Business, University of Michigan and a Bachelor of Technology degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Mumbai, India. On the other hand I know a Gujarati fellow who was born in America and who has a bachelor’s degree from Michigan and a PhD from UCLA, yet not even a millionare;-) Who needs money when one is having fun with mutiny at SM?

4 out of 400 means it’s perfect representation, since now ~3 million indian americans live in the USA.

Indians are about 1% of the US population, and we’re also about 1% of the Fortune 400. That’s a mediocre achievement: Not good or bad.
