Gujaratis are the most selfish people I鈥檝e ever met.
I said what I said. Because apparently, this is what happened yesterday.
You can walk into a Diwali party, have a random conversation about business and work, and somehow leave with people treating you like family. I met a few Gujarati people at a Diwali party last night. We spoke about work, business and a little bit of everything. Just the usual networking conversations.
I recently injured my ankle, so after a few hours I was tired and I went near a table, they made me sit with them (because my cousins were rocking the dance floor) made me feel extremely comfortable, looked after me and made sure I was okay. They didn鈥檛 have to. They barely knew me. But they did. And that鈥檚 when I realised how quickly some people can make you feel at home, even when you鈥檙e surrounded by strangers.
So yes, Gujaratis are selfish.
Selfishly generous with their hospitality, selfishly protective of people they barely know, and selfishly good at making strangers feel like family. 馃ス鉂わ笍
I went to a Diwali party and came back with a reminder that kindness is still one of the best things you can find in a room full of people. To the lovely couple who took care of me, thank you. You made my evening, some connections don鈥檛 come with business cards. They come with kindness.
Do socialise, you never know which conversation will become a friendship, collaboration or opportunity.
Happy Diwali! May we all attract good people, good opportunities, good money and people with big heart like this couple馃ス馃獢
