There is only one Tigerdroppings in this country and over half the work in keeping this site up is done by a single Dhillip Patel.

I’ve known many Patel’s, and they were all solid guys. Need more people with their work ethic.

It has to do with their Caste system. Patel’s are in the Hotel line of work. I’ve heard that the surname is not that large in India, but disproportionately large here per capita.

I work in finance and they also don’t pay their bills too well. Had one leave the country on me about a month ago.

Call center Indians are generally pretty industrious people and good citizens.

Doesn’t “Patel” literally translate to the word “hotel?”

I know a lot of Indian people. They are generally pretty solid citizens. Some cultural differences to overcome but not many of them rob the local quickie mart either
