 Hygiene

•Put deodorant every day.

•Shave regularly, preferably every day.

•Cut your fingernails regularly, but not in front of others.

•If you touch some food item, you are expected to take it and eat it. Do not put it back and expect others to pick it up and eat it.
•Don't pick your nose in front of others.

•Do not wear hawai chappal (or slippers or flip flops) around. In fact, do not wear leather chappals either. Get good pair of shoes and wear them consistently. Otherwise, you would invite foot pain sooner or later.

•Use less powder on face as dark face as white powder is not a good combination.

•Wear perfume but not too much.

•Take bath (shower) daily.

Work

•Use the company resources only for company work.

•Do not print 100 pages worth of personal stuff on company printer.

•Do not abuse sending email or making personal phone calls (including calls to India) using company resources.

•Be sincere at work and be at the desk most of the time. Do not spend hours doing social networking, sending instant messages, chatting or otherwise wasting time.

•Do not spend an hour or two socializing with others at work. You are in office to work.

•Everyone at work is not necessarily your personal friend. They may not want to share their personal details such as what exactly they did during the weekend or about their romance life etc.

•Do not discuss salary or performance appraisal etc.

•You don't represent the entire India which has over 1.25 billion people and counting. Do not consider yourself an authority on India and every subject. You are not an Ambassador of India to the U.S.

•If something bad or negative happens in India, don't take the blame for it or feel embarrassed about it.

•If something good or positive happens in India, don't take too much pride as if you did that yourself.

•Work is work and private life is private life. Keep them separate. Do not talk too much about your private life at work and don't expect others to tell you too much about theirs either.
•Do not get involved romantically with anyone at work. Especially, it is a big no no with someone who reports to you or under your hierarchy. You don't want any sexual harassment charges filed against you if it were not to work out.

•Do not eat sambar/rice (or other similar food) by hand. Use spoon.

•Do not make noises while eating lunch at work. No slurping.

•After eating lunch in company cafeteria, make sure to clean up after yourself. No peon or maid is normally present to do that for you.
•Just don't drop into anyone's cubicle at any time of the day to start the personal gossip.

•Don't hang around in the office till 8 PM or 10 PM or work on most weekends. Spend time with your family. If you are still single, spend time with your friends outside your work. Have some life outside work.

•Do not take office supplies home for personal usage by yourself and your kids.

•If you are a manager or above in your company, do not favor someone just because he is from your state or city or caste and do not discriminate against others.

•Call your boss or anyone else higher up in your company up to President or CEO by their first name. There is no concept of calling superiors by "sir" or "madam".


Social

•When you see other Indian (or anyone else), at least smile at them. And when others (especially ladies) smile at you, don't take wrong meaning.

•If you see another Indian, don't have the mentality that you are here because of your intelligence but others are here because of luck or fraud.

•Make sure to talk in the most common language that everyone can understand. For example, if two people understand Marathi, it is fine to talk to each other in Marathi as long as no else is in the conversation. However, as soon as Gujarati or Bengali is in the conversation, immediately switch to Hindi, assuming all of them can understand Hindi. Similarly, as soon as some Tamil person is around, switch to English, assuming the Tamil person doesn't know Hindi. Similarly, as soon as some American or non-Indian is around, definitely switch to English. It is simply rude and annoying for two Telugu speakers to have conversations in Telugu when one Punjabi and Kannada person is around as other two have no clue what is happening and feel isolated. (Again, each language referred to here is simply for illustration purposes only.) Do not start a debate whether Hindi is a national language (of India) or not. Just talk in any language that everyone around you can understand. If one Marathi and Bengali are talking in Hindi, South Indians should not automatically assume that Hindi is their language and if they can talk in Hindi, you can talk in Tamil. Those two guys are simply talking in the most common language among them. There are many other languages other than Hindi in rest of the India. South Indians should not assume that everyone else's language is Hindi. Simply talk in the language that everyone can understand.

•Whenever you meet another Indian, don't immediately ask 'Where are you from?' where the expected answer is which state he/she is from. For example, many South Indians wants to socialize only with South Indians. Within that, many Telugus want to socialize only with other Telugus. Within that, many Hyderabadis want to socialize only with other Hyderabadis. Within that, many Reddys want to socialize only with other Reddys. (Again, this is just one example for ease of understanding. Do not take this literally). Please do not do that. Just because someone is not from your caste, your city or your state, do not automatically exclude him or ignore him. Both of you are from India, both of you now live in the same city and in the same state in the U.S. And therefore, behave accordingly.
•Do not start arguments about South Indian vs North Indian, or Tamil vs Punjabi or anything like that, at least in front of non-Indians. It only makes fun of India as overall and proves to others how divided India is overall.

•An average American has no idea about such differences and does not care. Many Americans may not even be able to recognize the difference between Indian or Pakistani. If an average American sees an Indian, he may think this person is from Middle East. Please do not continue to have regional differences as it is not worth it. You have come to America for a "better life", whatever that means. Try to be American in all positive ways you can.

•All South Indians are not 'Madrasi'. At the same time, all North Indians are not 'Bhaiyya'.

•Second generation Indians may not like first generation Indians and first generation Indians who have been around here for 20 years may not like the ones who just came to the U.S. 2 months ago. Please understand that no matter for how long you have been around here, all others still consider you Indian.

•The same Indian who arrived to the U.S. 10 years ago who was highly in favor of giving greencards to the H1 holders fast has now become U.S. citizen and is now against giving more greencards to newly arrived H1 holders. It seems everyone wants to shut the door behind them. That is not fair.

•The same Indian who stands in the line properly when he is at the U.S. post office does not want to obey the line when he is at an Indian function such as Diwali Mela, 15th August etc. People start behaving as if they are in India, and start cutting the line, pushing others in front of them, and simply crowd up as many people as they can.

•The same Indian who drives on a U.S. road properly and parks properly at the mall parking would like to break the traffic rules and park randomly at the Indian functions or even in the neighborhood that is predominantly Indian. Please understand that you are still in the U.S. and you still need to obey the driving rules. Otherwise, police may give you tickets.

•Don't throw trash all over the places at Indian functions.

•Even within your apartment complex, do not roam around in lungis (men) or night gowns (women). Do not venture out like that even if it is just to throw trash in the trash container in your apartment complex. If at all you wear lungi, please don't fold up half way.

•Just because an Indian family invited you to a social function like birthday party, it is not OK to come very late just like in India. For example, if the host booked the venue for 7 PM to 9 PM, that means, the host has to vacate it exactly at 9 PM. The host paid for every guest including the food, tokens for playing, cake, goodie bag and everything else based on the number of people expected to attend the event. It is simply not right to show up at 8.30 PM. If you are invited for the event at 7 PM, be there on time by 7 PM. The same Indian would show up to the meeting at work at 9 AM sharp. Why not everywhere?

•Don't show off to other Indians that the work you are doing is great or complicated and assume that others are simply mediocre people. You never know who you are talking to.

•Some newcomers to the U.S. think they are something great just because they made it to the U.S. You may show that attitude to others you know who you think were still left in India. However, don't show such attitude to other Indians who are here, especially the ones who are already here for a long time.

•Don't show attitude to others based on how educated you are, how rich you are or who your father is and what his influence is (in India).

•If possible, try to adopt American accent properly. But do not throw fake accent just 3 months after moving from India.
•Do not wear sports shoes with trousers or with saree or salwar. (If someone has a foot problem and must wear shoes, it might be justified.)

•Don't be stingy. Buy some good dresses and live a quality life.

•Don't stereotype Indian people from other states: All Gujaratis are not motel owners, all Telugus are not with fake degrees, all South Indians are not software engineers, all North Indians are not cooks in restaurants, all Punjabis are not taxi drivers etc.

•Do not buy small drink at a restaurant just because refills are free. More important, do not buy one drink and share with entire family because refills are free.

•Do not abuse the return policy of store. Do not buy new clothes and bedsheets because it is a Diwali and then use them and return them. Do not buy a new camera for a couple of days because you need it just for that one trip and then return it after using it.

•If you have a really long name, don't complain that it does not fit anywhere. Legally change your name to a shorter one.
•Tuck your shirt.

•If you visit a beach or a swimming pool, don't oggle the girls/ladies in swimsuit. Don't go too near them and embarass them. In any case, do not take their pictures and make them uncomfortable.


Bollywood Concerts / Shows

•Do not get up from your seat and block the view of others behind you. (Comments to organizers: Do not allow such behavior and have enough security people to enforce it.)

•Do not crowd up the place between the stage and the front rows to take pictures, dance or for any other reason, especially if the stage is not high enough. The person who has purchased $500 ticket to sit in the front row has at least as much as right to enjoy the show as you have, whether you have purchased $25 ticket or $35 ticket. Be considerate to others. At least don't make fun of them that front row seat people could see only your butt/back or had to see the show only through your camera's viewfinder. (Comments to organizers: Do not allow such behavior and strictly enforce it. And in any case, keep the stage higher, and not too low.)

•Sit in the seat you have paid for. If you have purchased $35 ticket, sit at your place. Do not try to sneak into $100 seat or $500 seat, if any of them are vacant. If you want to sit in those seats, pay for it. (Comments to organizers: To be fair to those who purchase higher priced tickets, do not allow such things. Does any airline ever allow economy class passengers to sit in first class or business class just because some seats are vacant? No.)

•If the show is at 8 PM, be there in time. Do not show up at 8.30 PM. Worse yet, do not show up at 9 PM or even at 9.30 PM or 10 PM and keep walking in front of others disturbing everyone else and blocking everyone else's view. (Comments to organizers: Make the habit of starting the show right on time, irrespective of how many people are present. Do not allow anyone entry after the scheduled show time. Next time, people will start showing up at the right time.)
