I had no idea "bania" is a race, seriously. I sincerely apologize if I have offended anyone which I had no intention of doing.

Well bania isnt a race, neither an ethnicity neither a caste. Bania word came from Vanik (वणिक) which means a merchant, though normally we call aggarwal community in north and marwari community in west as baniya, because they are merchant class for centuries, but still bania cant be a race at all. Normally they are associated with kanjoosi, yes :D because they keep saving pennies out of their sales.
 
This is Epic.... :eek:hyeah:

Initial start-up may be insensitive to a few people but the purpose of this thread is really good... Every one of us had grabbed that sweet deal for some worthless stuff (or some not so worthless but for a killer price)...

Yeaaa, that's what the word means when you say it in these parts of India. Never got to find out about the true meaning and origin.. Until now :p

I'm stuck with it. I've set it to full resolution (1280x1080 :p ) in the hopes that it heats up and dies so that I can get a TFT one. Stupid cost-cutting :mad:

Yesss... That "Indian thinking". That's exactly what should be "shown-off" here. You don't need to think of this thread as a display of poverty, but rather, a display a creativity. This is a tongue-in-cheek type of thread which aims to remember the simple roti-kapda-makaan time ki technology which is still being used today.

Ummm... Nope. Whatever gave you that idea? Did you have any anti-show-off-ers on campus back then? :p
 
Don't take it so seriously.
