    His son is actually better than him. Parminder Singh Jr., averages like 28 a game.

    Seems like all the Indian athletes you named are Punjabi, slickvik...does this have anything to do with the world-domination of OCP? :confused: ;)

    Do you speak Punjabi? Both of my parents do, but I can't speak it. All I know is "tu wada kee haal e?" :)

    Back in the 70's, wasn't there a top-notch professional tennis player from India? Seems like he went from there into the film industry...

    Yea, I can speak it fluently. I used to not speak it so much but as you get older I realized it was a great skill to have. I can speak some Hindi and Urdu, but usually I get mixed up and start saying Punjabi words instead. Punjabi, Urdu and Hindi are all similar, if you understand one you can understand all of them.

    My project this summer is to learn how to read/write Punjabi, nobody ever taught me when I was younger.
