One rotten apple could spoils whole basket!
by Raj on Aug 25, 2006 07:04 AM

I am of Indian origin, now an Aussie citizen. I have never been treated racially but some of the acts of my fellow Indians has made me feel so sick, and probably this bad image created by some idiots is carried forward in the minds of people from other country.

Some people who travel overseas forget that they represent India and they MUST learn things quickly so that their behaviour does not creat bad impression about all of us or make others suffer as it happened in Amsterdam. Just for 12 idiots on board an international carrier, hunders suffered.

Following incident made me so shameful because a fellow Indians behaved so stupidly:

Onboard a Cathay Pacific from Hong Kong to Mumbai, one Indian chap smoked in the lavatory thinking no one can catch him, knowing well that smoking is completely banned. He was later detained.

Another Indian in the same flight shifted himself from front to the rear while lunch was surved so that he could get two boxes of lunch. Stewardess literally shouted at him and shifted him back to his original place.

What impression these incidents about we Indians in same flight would have created on people from other nations or the crew?
