The following is an exerpt from an actual conversation:
ABQL (American born quizzical lady): oh you are from India?
ABDD (American born Desi Doctor): No, my parents are. I was born in St. Louis, Missouri.
ABQl: I thought so. You do not seem to have an accent.
ABDD: No I do. Can't you make out the midwestern twang?
Yes. Exactly. I love them twangs and the fact that every Indian does need to have an accent to affirm their identity. Beware all of you who do not have an accent, make sure to acquire one before being subjected to such flashes of realization. I mean beg, borrow or steal if not fake it.
