Desis at Universal Studios

Hi All,
Been more than a week so i thought i would come back with another trip of mine , but this time i would also like to add an experience that i had with our Desi guys :).

To people who have not been here or have not heard about it a brief intro on Universal Studios.
Universal Studios Hollywood is a movie studio in the Universal City
community of unincorporate Los Angeles County, California, United States, and is the original Universal Studios theme park. Woody Woodpecker is the mascot for Universal Studios Hollywood and the rest of the Universal Studios Theme Parks. It is one of the oldest and most famous Hollywood movie studios still in use. Its official marketing headline is "The Entertainment Capital of LA," though during the summer it is often advertised as "The Coolest Place in LA."
It was initially created to offer tours of the real Universal Studios soundstages and sets. It is the first of many fully-fledged Universal Studios Theme Parks, along with Universal Studios Florida, Universal Studios Japan, and the upcoming Universal Studios Singapore, Universal Studios Dubai, and Universal Studios South Korea theme parks.

My day at the Studios:
It had been more than 2 weeks since i landed in US ans so we(me & my hubby) decided that it was high time i started visiting places nearby. We decided that we would begin with Universal Studios , Hollywood. Going into Universal Studios reminded me of our country's theme parks , the major difference being that this was more properly panned out and well maintained than what we had back home.Of course the cleanliness made a lot of difference :)
After the tickets , and security check we made our entry into the studios. As we were walking around we decided we would take it slow as we had the whole day ahead of us. The fact that we had gone there on a normal weekend meant that we did not have the heavy crowds that usually are there during the long weekends.

As we went around we came to Shrek-Fiona standing in a corner and joining the crowds for photos. We decided to join in the queue for a snap. Right behind us were a group of Desis(both boys & girls), 8 in number. All around 25 and it seemed as if they had come as a group for a project from their discussions going on. All of a sudden they reverted from English to Hindi(Guess on the assumption that neither me nor my Hubby would know the language :) but guess they did not know i could speak the language well and my hubby could follow the conversation).
The general flow of the conversation was that - "We(maane me and my hubby) were Indians ,we were before them in line for the photos and hence we would finish ahead of them.So we could easily take photos of them using their cameras and that it should not be difficult for us to do so :) and so on". The same discussion went on amidst them for around 5 mins and none of them came forward to ask me or my hubby if we would take a snap of them together with Shrek and Fiona. After 5 mins i really felt sorry for them so i turned around , spoke to them in Hindi and told them that we would not mind taking their pictures. The whole group was shocked and then gave an embarassed smile :). After we took our pics we were handed all of their cameras(all 8)for us to take their snaps. It would not have been a probs , but i guess the basic courtesy would be that they could have decided that 2 of them could use their cameras and share the photos later on rather than giving all the cameras.They would have done this if it had been someone apart from Desis taking their snaps , so y not extend the same courtesy to us Desis? What also struck me was that - y assume blindly that the person standing in front would not know the language they were speaking and discuss about them?
The whole day the group kept crossing us at various points and everytime they saw us they gave an embarrased smile and walked away. Guess nothing more could have been done.
Apart from this incident i should say that i had a gala time around the studios and i especially enjoied the ride in the Jurassic park:).Coming back home i was so tired and to tell the truth it had been a long time since i had had such masti(fun) after my college days.
In fact the past couple of weeks i have been telling my husband that we need to go out to the Studios once more and have lots of fun.

In the meantime do leave me ur comments on my blog.
