You Know You're Hinduwani When...

You have an unbridled love for Bollywood films

You claim you can ‘learn quite a bit’ from Bolly films (and you can)

You try to learn Hindi

You do speak Hindi/Urdu

You love Bollywood music/Indian music

You can dance Bollywood style

You have cravings for Indian food and no Indian restaurant in sight, so you make your own and it’s better than what you get at an Indian restaurant

You often quote Bollywood films

You have Indian friends

You know more about India/Bollywood than your Indian friends

You can tell Bollywood actors/actresses apart

You cosplay as APH India

You know APH’s human name (both canon and fandom, btw, it’s Neejara Patel and Bharat Ganrajya)

You refer to yourself and your beloved as Raj and Simi or some other famous couple in Hindi film

You often can be heard saying ‘SRK is love, SRK is life’

You adore SRK, Hithrik, Akashay, Aijiwara, Pretti, Kajol, Amitab, Salman or some other major industry maker

Whenever you hear (insert name here), you instantly swoon, your heart beats faster and you can be heard squealing ‘OUR BASHDA’, or whatever

You often say ‘All is well’, or ‘It’ll be alright in the end.  If it is not yet over, it is not yet the end’. 

You’ve developed a head bobble

You bow in deference, or press your hands together in respect, but no real reason as to why

You feel that maybe in a past life, you were Indian

The songs ‘Chak De India’ and ‘Phil Beer Hindustani’ stir up patriotism in you

You happen to like and enjoy cricket

You know who Satchin is

Chai is your favorite tea (and if not your favorite one of the teas you enjoy)

Spice is life, you happen to be liberal with it

Your taste buds can handle HOT foods

You tend to eat chilies with everything

Is there anything sriracha sauce cannot make more flavorful ?  

You find the styles of Indian dress very fetching, appealing and comfortable and happen to own a sari/Nehru jacket, etc.

If you had your way, you’d wear sandals all year round

Life without color is a life you would rather not live

Life without music would be terribly dull and depressing, to you music AND color are life and breath itself

You see the beauty in everything and tend to see the positive in the negative 

Lagaan is not only a movie, it is India itself

Everyone should watch Swades and My Name is Khan, according to you. If they did, maybe the world would be a better place.

You watch HISHE, Hindi style even if you don’t speak or understand Hindi

You watch AVS religiously (or used to)

You receive AVS’s monthly bulletin

You follow Bollywood stars on Twitter/Facebook

You know all the words to the FAN anthem (or other Bollywood songs)

Some people might catch you mirroring your favorite Bollywood star (I’m guilty of this and acting like Shahrukh in front of huge industrial fans)

You can mimic a peacock call perfectly and they even answer back (gasp)

Is there anything more mournful and magnificent than a peacock cry ?

Your favorite bird is the peacock

You collect/wear peacock feathers

You own some scarves, trying to imitate the style of your favorite actor/actress

You know all the Bollywood websites (or a few) 

You’ve seen quite a few Bollywood movies (or have seen all the ones your favorite stars are in)

You’re getting quite the Bollywood collection in your media list

Seeing a trailer for a new Bollywood movie gets you anticipatory (even if you might have to wait for it to come out on DVD to see it) 

You admit to being Hinduwani

You know what ‘Hinduwani’ actually means

You made up the word Hinduwani before one even existed

You write fanfics about Bollywood films that didn’t end the way you liked (guilty as charged) 

You name your animal(s) after your most beloved movie characters

I’m certain there are plenty more examples where this one comes from but I cannot fathom more at this time ^_^
