Now that summer is on, every one is out to get their share of the sun. But not the typical Indian. It has nothing to do with Heliophobia. It has more to do with us being conditioned to stay away from the ‘harsh tropical’ celestial body. This training kicks in whenever we get out into the open. While you will find Europeans crowded out in the sunny outdoors, Indians would feel comfortable staying in the shade.

But what if it is not summer? What other rule of thumb would come to the rescue of the Indian-seekers?

Ladies and gentlemen, let me present to you the Leather Jacket. Any Indian male would consider a good leather jacket a possession worth a passing down a couple of generations. All those biker movies never helped one bit. Me and my friends can swear to seeing many of these on my Indian fellow-men here in Europe. I also confess to owning one.

Disclaimer: What I have stated above is not hard and fast, and should not be held against me in a court of law. :-)
