There is this good ol' barber in some city in US. One day a florist goes to him for a haircut. When he is about to pay the barber, the latter replies: 'I am sorry, I cannot accept money from you. I am doing community service.' The florist is happy and leaves the shop.

The next morning when the barber goes to open his shop, there is a 'Thank You' card and a dozen roses waiting at his doorstep.

This event is repeated till an Indian software engineer goes for a haircut. When he pays him, the barber tells him, 'I am sorry, I cannot accept money from you. I am doing community service.' The next morning, when the barber opens his shop, he finds a dozen Indians waiting for a free haircut.

On a dark crowded highway
brylcreem in my hair
warm smell of parathas
rising up through the air

up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
my eyes grew dim and my head grew light
I had to stop for the night

there they stood in the doorway
they were desis you could tell
I got out fearfully
saying this will surely be hell

all around us were buildings
Sun, SGI and Dell
I slowly unloaded my things
In the shadows of Intel

and still those parking lots were full of Hondas
waiting up in the middle of the night
to be driven home by programers

welcome to the town of Sunnyvale
such a desi place, such a crazy place
we're livin' it up in the town of Sunnyvale
such a nice surprise, so many people with no lives

my heartstrings were twisted
I wanted to feel at home
where thousands of desis existed
and no white man dared roam

sambar stains on the ceilings
mango lassis on ice
sit and watch the paint peeling
or make daal and boil rice

but my mind revolted
at the very thought
I grabbed my bag and bolted
I'd escape no matter what

and still those voices are calling from far away
wake you up in the middle of the night
I can hear them say

welcome to the town of Sunnyvale
such a desi place, such a crazy place
we're livin' it up in the town of Sunnyvale
such a nice surprise, so many people with no lives

I wake up in a cold sweat thank god it was a dream,
there is no need to fret.
I still live in the Marin.
Oh, I still live in Marin.
