Indian’s can be found anywhere in the world. In fact, if you call out the names ‘Jignesh’ or ‘Hardik’ or ‘Sukhpreet’, we are sure wherever you are you’ll hear somebody say, ‘Yeah! Who called my name?’ It’s the great videshi dream for us to at least once go and visit ‘Amrika’, ‘Kaneda’, ‘Paris’ and if you have god by your side, you’d settle down in one of these places. But even so, going abroad is a huge thing here. It brings out the most uncanny side of us out and we end up doing things that are so typically Indian and somewhat funny to the bone.

We Carry Our Food Along

There will be a perfect spread of breakfast, no dearth of restaurants, amazing street food available; you’ll even have the known fast food joints, but we are not going to eat any of that. We will eat our Thepla’s, Dhokla’s, Khakra’s, Kela Chips, Nankhatai and what not. We pack a bag full of these and travel.

Free Wi- Fi Zones Define Our Tourist Spots

That’s how we plan what to do in the city. Not by what’s famous, but where there is free wi- fi, we’ll go there. After all you need to make those watsapp calls and upload those photos. And come one, free wi- fi in public places, who are we kidding?

Fake Accent



We adapt ourselves really quickly. We may not be able speak the local language but surely get the accent, or rather tone. And it’s not something we use while talking to the locals from that place, but more after we are back home. Foreign return, you see!

Currency Conversion

This is in our blood. We automatically become amazing at Maths, converting each and every figure into Rupee. The duration of our call back home is not based on what all we need to talk about, but on how much we’ll end up spending per minute.

Look For Indian Food

Like we didn’t eat enough of it back home. We just don’t get the saying ‘When in Rome do like the Romans do’. We’ll fetch for an Indian restaurant and eat the same old Paneer Butter Masala or Dosa, which may not even taste that great. But we are not going to try all the local gourmet delights of that place.

Be Busy On Our Phones When It’s Not Working

We won’t have data, nor calling on our phones, but we will still be busy doing something on our handsets. What’s the point of being glued to your phones when the phone services are not working. We won’t opt for international calling or data because some Aunty who went years back said international calling is so expensive. We won’t find out for ourselves and carry a device that’s practically good for nothing without any calling and data services.

Now if you don’t believe us that these are things we actually do and are funny as hell, you need to see what stand up comedian Varun Thakur has to say. And the next time you are travelling abroad don’t forget to take the Airtel International Roaming plan. Enjoy unlimited free incoming, free data upto of upto 3GB, free outgoing minutes and a lot more. You can also choose a plan according to the country you are visiting. Log on to Airtel for more.
