memons arent cheap at all. thats a misconception and a sterotype.

[infamousbrown]

I'm not really sure what a Memon is. No one has ever identified as a Memon up here, at least amongst the people I know.

You really need to get some new material.

The kinds of Memons up here that I've met are:

1. Gujarati Memons (they call themselves Gujju, but their last name tends to be "Memon" and they speak Cutchi).

2. Memons from Pakistan (they migrated to Karachi in the past)
Haven't met too many Memons from East Africa, but lots of Ismailis.


The first group: the Gujju community doesn't accept them as real Gujaratis. Dunno if the Memon community accepts them as real Memons.

timbit i think you've been asking the same questions about memons and gujjus ever since you were in your mothers womb

[Timbit]

I wasn't asking any questions. I was explaining what I've learned.

The three-day event, started in Dubai on Sunday, facilitates and institutions that comprise the organization meet to review their previous projects and discuss future undertaking.

With the capacity to accommodate more than 5,000 students whose pursuit for quality education are hindered by poverty, the university will offer full academic programmes in the areas of Accountancy, Agriculture, Engineering, Biological Science, Computer Science, Costume and Fashion Technology, Home Science, Management, Mass Media and Healthcare.

As an organization comprised of institutions operating within diverse industries, the WMO announced that its members have also pledged their academic inputs as industry experts to impart knowledge to the future students. Initial work on the university is set to commence in 2010 with state-of-the-art facilities.

"As one of the most rapidly growing economies in the region and home to a strong Memon community, hope this progressive emirate will welcome our most ambitious project to date, the World Memon University," said Haji Abdul Razzak Yaqoob, WMO president and chairman of ARY Group.

The organization has also allocated $5 million for the expansion of its charity, healthcare and education networks across the seven chapters of the WMO worldwide.

Lets be serious for a sec. Most of the memons I have met (with a few exceptions) for B2B transactions have been pretty cheap.

In fact my bro worked for a memon and ended up quiting cuz he was such a cheaparse. he wouldnt give him a raise. The memon dude would hire people on payroll when he was away and pay them 2-4 more dollars /hour. Heck...he wouldnt even buy him a coffee once in a while and didn't pay him for lunch time... No worker stayed at his company for more than 3 months...

I'm pretty sure I know more Memons than you (or for that matter, anyone else on this forum), and I'd say 95% of the Memons I've met are generous people who're willing to spend money on what's important or what they like. There's one guy (in a particular social group of about 75) I can think of who could be called "cheap," and everyone makes fun of him for it.

Most of the Punjabis I've met are dumb.
