I remember in my first year in junior college, one day a bunch
of us were in the classroom having a huge heap of fun, cracking
jokes and banging on the tables.
And we had this no-nonsense DM who is an Indian...
Suddenly in the midst of merry-making, he opened the door to the
classroom, poked a head in, and he sternly asked us with an angry
face:
"THAIPUSAM ah?!"
