New to this bowl! All I see are ASL posts though 🤔

So, I’ll ask, what do you like/dislike about desi culture?

I really like the homely nature taught to us by our parents. When a guest comes over, we instinctively want to offer them chai and namkeen, want them to have food etc. It's very cute and whilst not unique to desi culture, it's still something I like about it.

Like that we care about our loved ones by default.
Dislike too much nosiness in personal lives by anyone outside immediate family. Dislike a random person asking how much I make and what is my rent.

Building up on Associate 1 response. We hardly ever stayed in hotels when visiting cities. Aunt, Uncles, parents childhood friends etc, someone or other will be there in the city that we visit. They never allowed us to stay in hotels when we were in their towns.

Hi everyone,
I want to learn Salesforce Tableau CRM (formerly known as Einstein Analytics) and switch to a different organisation.
