why do Indians bring the whole family (including grandparents) when going to the public library?

I don't know.  They seem to bring the whole family everywhere they go.  One has a doctor's appointment 20 of them show up.  Maybe they are all sharing the same driver's license, health card, etc. so they all have to stay together so they don't get caught.

depending on your area...childrens books are alwyas wanted at childrens hospitals i am sure they wouldnt minda adult books given that parents there with their kids need something to do at times as well....

most because they wanted to..some people do what their family members do. Me, I just want all the protection and prayers that I can get!

it's not just Disney, look at almost any children's literature and you will find the same thing. for one, they want the kids to have something to struggle with, for another, the parents would get in the way of their adventures.

Maybe because your in your home town,  people know your family.. They don't want to refer to you as hot out of respect to your family and dint want to get up to stuff like that with you for the same reason

Well it is to make the children feel equal and not have any qualms about their parents richness or poorness.  This makes the children feel that they are all in the same level playing field and also inculcates disipline.......

I bought a grandparents brag book and put a sonogram picture inside of it on the first page and wrapped it up with gift wrap.  We went over for dinner and I gave it to them non-chalantly and said "here- I picked up a little something for you"...  they opened it, looked at it and looked a little confused.  After they thought about it for a couple of minutes they finally *got it* and just screamed.  Its a great memory.

b/c they think their cool.......but at the same time theres all those desis living in india forgetting their own culture so can you really blame them?\n\nI'm way more cultured (raised in American since the age of 9 and now 22) than the kids raised in india their whole life.  I go to the temple every sunday, respect my parents, will have an arrange marriage, live with my husband's family, no partying, no drinking, no smoking, i love cooking..............like seriously, is it soo hard???? So I guess the question should now be, why are the kids being raised in india more "westernized" than the kids that actually grow up in a westernized world.

if ur grandpa is full indian and ur grandma white, that makes ur mom or dad,. which ever is the child to them, would be half indian. lets assume it was your mother who was the child of ur grandparents who you're talking about, since ur mom would be half indian you would get 1/4 indian from her and 1/4 white from her, and say ur dad is full white, you would get half white from him, making you 1/4 native 3/4 white.

because they are to immature to be considered grown-\nup.  i have seen even grandparents acting this way.  it\nhas nothing to do with age, and everyting to do with \nmaturity.

Traditionalist.  The privilege one don't come here to open stores, they may come to visit, buy homes and enjoy life, but not work behind a counter.  Did you know there are Billionaire Indians!

Cos your parents are straight and you dont want to let them down.  After all they want grandchildren.\n\nI bet if you had no family you would be out in a flash.

The name of the book itself is a pretty big hint.  "Ordinary People" means that what happens in the book could happen to any family.  People may be different in many ways, but we all have one thing in common; we are all susceptible to feelings of guilt; we have all dealt with "coming of age" (another prominent theme); and any family could be hit with the devastation of losing a loved one.

We are not formal and cold.\n\nThe only reason people here call each other before visiting is to make sure the person is at home, so they do not waste a trip!  :-))

I'm a Chinese American. A few years ago, my grandparents and family went to Disneyland and we were about to get on the little train that shuttles people around the park when the "conductor" told us that we were cutting in line. Naturally, we were upset because we were not doing that. In fact, we were at the front of the line and virtually no one else was getting on the train. Though we tried to straighten it out, she insisted that we did. Finally, my dad was so furious he had a talk with her manager and told him how this prejudiced accusation had totally ruined our trip. Sadly, Asians have a reputation for cutting in line so I guess that's why the lady assumed what she did...
