I actually was born on an Indian reservation (which is true BTW), but that’s not the kind of Indian I’m talking about. Today I decided to try out being something other than an American. Today, I’m an Indian. I don’t speak Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati or any of the other dialects over in India, but whatever… I’ll dress like an Indian (it’s a start).
Okay, in truth there was a webmaster meet for Digital Point users in New Delhi, India on June 17th, 2006, and they sent me some traditional Indian pajamas. 🙂 So check it out, I’m an Indian now (at least I can sleep like one).
Note: I wrote this Sunday night, but wanted to mess around with WordPress’ future publish date function. I’m actually at SES, San Jose right now (assuming my plane didn’t crash. If my plane *did* crash, well then I’m probably the first person ever to write a blog entry from the dead. 🙂 ).
kooool,
i never knew, u’d like it. i’d ‘ve sent you one…:)
anyway, kool, u look GUD, too bad this is not coming from a girl 😛
so, here is a start… namaskaar:)
Looking good Shawn!!!
Thanx for putting up the pic and blogging about it.
Man! That dress fits on you very well. And oh, if you want to learn Punjabi, just give me a holler. 😉
Cool Shawn.
Looking better than me in our Indian Dress 😀 😀

Hey Shawn.

Why did you call the image file ‘In the Anus dot JPG?’
Maybe this cross dressing is having side effects on you…
Hey shawn you look great in that picture 🙂
We hope to see you for the next meet here in India.
That’s San Jose in Cali … not Costa … right 😀
Thanks for the ammunition Shawn!

Nice! I want those! A very interesting look for you. I think I like it!
Hey Shawn looking good man, although I have to disagree with one thing – being able to sleep like an indian.
Erm, I don’t think it’s something you can pick up not in a liftime anyway. 😉

RRR OOO FFF LLL
Kool Man – Y dint u smile -Aneway!!
Cheers!
You look like Shoemoney in this picture.
🙂
Shawn, you looking just like an indian !!
I was the designer who crazy to see you as a really Indian. The head dress on other modified photo totally converted you in to an Indian.
Um somehow I found this via the supposedly cracking wireless in 60 sec article lol.. so BTW that’s a KURTA pajama ur wearing- that’s men’s clothing (although one could argue a nice outfit like that is the same to Indians as sleeping clothes lol 😉 nahin (not) ‘pajamas’ in the Western sense… probably u don’t know words/names for various textiles like ‘Cashmere’ (aka Kasmir) wool, ‘Madras’ plaid, as well as common emblems such as paisley, etc.. all come from India, along with the word ‘pajama’ (also words like ‘goon’ (from gunda = thug), ‘thug’ = thugee etc… lol)
BTW also they are not dialects- each is a separate LANGUAGE, most with entirely independent written alphabets, grammar & pronounciation- so now you know! 🙂 lol 😛 I’m sure desi yaar will feel free to expound/correct, tho I think this thread looks pretty dead… so maybe not. So don’t sleep in it (until after you’ve gone to someone’s wedding in it- just like Indians lmao)…
Wow Shawn,
First time i feel very proud abt India.
Whooa..
man, you are looking KOOL on that Kurta.. :p
Where did get that?
You look like typical Indian shawn. Nice to see you in this dress.

This is ok.. But Lungi is true freedom 😀
Too bad I don’t get to wear it that much.. 🙁
Hi Shawn

You look fantastic. We Indians wear such dresses like designer kurta pajamas and during traditional functions like weddings (you’ve got to see an Indian wedding!)
looks cool indian :p 🙂
WOW, you look like an Indian actor, Amir Khan. 🙂
Coool Man,
You are looking great !
Hi shawn!
i think u don’t want to call yourself an Indian?
you feel shame i think so
but don’t forget your background,culture,language ok
if you are in US then it does not mean you feel proud and call yourself American…

I doubt you will answer this or respond to it, but I am really curious since I came across your blog and Im guessing its wordpress, but how did you get the URL to be in html http://www.shawnhogan.com/2006/08/im-an-indian.html rather than PHP? Ive been trying to figure out how to change my blog PHP page to HTML and you make it look easy.
haha. you look good in this Indian dress.
can you show me your other american photos 🙂
you are looking pure Indian in this dress. so sexy.
Rommy
