Taking it too far. All I said was that in a professional setting, pointing your feet at the other person is not a clever gesture. As for your other list of gestures and social expectations, they seem to reek of your own identity issues with being Indian in a foreign setting, not mine. I have eaten beef, pork, cohabited, called elders/boss by first name, smoked, and counter-argued. None of them are offensive and most of them are actually personal things. >> Will you refuse to work with someone trans-gendered, as would happen "instantly" in India? Huh, don't you think it's a rather bold and unforgiving assumption that simply because one is Indian, he/she would have an issue working with a trans-gendered person?
