So I think one of the reasons that you see so many successful Indians in America is because they just have financial advantages.

This is something that like my children will never understand.

I don't even understand.

So they would run out of like sugar on the 25th of the month and they don't get more money until like later.

And so, you know, this concept of like in my house, when you run out of sugar, you go to the store and you buy more.

Raj Shamani's Figuring Out

Like even when you went to the store, there was rationing.

Raj Shamani's Figuring Out

So you couldn't buy more.

And so they would do things like hide sugar in certain places and just stuff like that, right?
