This article was written by one of our readers (one of the pretty ones, because ugly people can’t write). Not many of our new readers know this but C-Bear has always had this site open for other people to submit their writing. The author of this article is…well, I’ll just call her Sara. She went to great lengths to get her article published on this site. I told her she would have to climb the top of Everest and plant a Curry Bear flag if she wanted to write on this website because C-Bear doesn’t just accept articles from anybody. But then she offered me $2 and I gave in. I hope this will encourage more readers to submit their entries.
Stuff Brown People Like: Hookah (Sheesha)
A past-time, a social activity, and maybe even an art, Indians nationwide quickly get excited when sighting a hookah that is available to smoke. It is not uncommon to find Indians herded around an elegant glass water pipe, earnestly puffing away at the hose or awaiting their turn with bated breath. The popularity of hookah smoking rises from its twofold purpose within the brown community. First, it is an excellent way for the Indian to maintain his social life as he comes in the habit of frequenting overcrowded local smoke spots and opening unnecessarily expensive tabs amidst mood lighting and exotic music. This is particularly in vogue as it allows the Indian a successful night out without the pressure of having to demonstrate the newest “Crank that 2 step” or “Lean back and Superman” hip-hop move that would otherwise be expected of him in the club in order to preserve the respect of his peers.
Second, Indians find a way celebrate their heritage through hookah smoking. Despite any disagreements they may have with their culture, hookah/sheesha passes the tests of an acceptable social activity and perhaps most appealing of all, it draws people from other walks of life to join in and celebrate the culture with them. It is generally recommended that non-Indians should acknowledge some form of thanks, however minimal, to their Indian friends for having introduced them to anything with origins in or near South Asia and this most definitely includes hookah. The Indian will welcome all people to enjoy the benefits of what he believes falls under his cultural radar, but non-Indians must not threaten this sense of proprietorship by neglecting his generosity. This will result in the Indian regretting ever showing you how to smoke, pack, or assemble the hookah, as well as feeling a loss of the exclusivity that previously characterized the practice (think Chicken and Rice on 53rd and 6th in NYC).
Depending on your personality and blood alcohol content, you can express your smoking in various ways – shotties, smoke bubble games, or blowing liberal amounts of smoke into a camera with bedroom eyes. In the company of a true hookah enthusiast, it is encouraged to flaunt fluency in tobacco flavors or seek instruction in making the perfect smoke ring. This will impress him, show your willingness to exhale those melon strawberry kiwi molasses in proper sheesha etiquette, and eventually secure a spot in the hookah huddle. Such membership is important: sharing the same pipe with bros and homegirls are usually okay, but uninvited smokers can expect to find passive aggressive resistance from the head hookah honcho who will suddenly find himself beset with sanitary concerns. This Indian is most likely the proud owner of the hookah in question, a multi-hosed water pipe complete with a carry-on case. He has defied dorm room regulations and risked housing suspension for the sake of throwing successful campus parties, events where copious amounts of alcohol are no longer enough. He also boasts unmatched foil poking skills and an uncanny sixth sense for maneuvering around hot coal towers.
I thought Hookah was an arabic thing. It’s not really part of our culture. Just desi people trying to be arabic. Same with belly dancing.
Dude so many desi people think it’s so cool. It’s really not
What I find hilarious is how some people will say how horrible smoking and drinking is and then do Hookah like it’s different from smoking.
Hookah was the shit..than too many desi started doing it…got played out
I didn’t enjoy my Sheesha experiences…I didn’t see the hype. Also: is it really worse for your lungs than smoking?
This is not an indian culture. It’s an arab culture. Also, Hookah is worse than smoking cigarettes as you tend to smoke hookah for hours, where you smoke cigarettes for minutes. Anyone who thinks Hookah is harmless is a fucking idiot. Not only that, but people who are not smoking and are sitting around still suffer from second hand smoke, and since they have to endure and sit through it all, they are also sitting there for hours, damaging their lungs.
Also, for all the muslims out there, you should know that anything that harms your body, as little as it may be, is considered HARAM! (Yes that includes fast food). Also, anything that alters your state of mind is also considered HARAM. And if i’m not mistaken, Hookah makes you light headed, which, alters your state of mind in that euphoria. I don’t mean to lecture, but people need to get there shit straight and stop being an ignorant dumb ass piece of shit.
Its a popular misconception, but the truth is Hookah originated in India
BungleBabe is right. However Some say Pizza originated in China…but that doesn’t make it Chinese food.
haha
I think its called “stuffbrownpeoplelike” not “stuffbrownpeopleclaimastheyreown” so who cares where its from. desi people smoke hookah. the end.
and most desis i know own hookahs.
btw, i
…heart sara
was the end of that statement
Rumor has it that Sara is hot. Can I get your number? Can I have it? Can I have it?
Haha im sorry but i still can’t get over how funny that skit is.
Um, sheesha originated in India fool. Is this chick really hot in person too?
BTW, sheesha cafe originale was Mocha, a popular coffee and dessert shop in major cities across the homeland.
and saras busy doin the dutty wine.
Hahaha. Well written and funny!
I love how the mention of a girl’s name on this site ends up in a “is she hot” conversation. But that’s everywhere on the internet.
I think Sara should be a regular contributor on this site. Her writing style is similar to the author of Stuff White People Like.
Hookah is for pussys…try crack
This Indian is most likely the proud owner of the hookah in question, a multi-hosed water pipe complete with a carry-on case.

-i think thats me
desi people also like to pack that double apple with ganja and then burn.
i hate indian people have facebook pictures of them having hookah smoke coming out of their mouths like theyre such badasses….grow the fuck up
Sometimes girls are treated like objects on this forum.. guys if you haven’t realized already, girls don’t fall for you fake flattery.. grow up!
suck my dick bitch !!!!
Relax no one is treated like objects. It’s a comedy blog. People are just joking around here. If you don’t like the humor stop coming to the site.
Batman,
I am sorry but i feel like humor and respect can go hand in hand. I too feel like women are demeaned from time to time on this site, but is still visit because CB is funny as hell. basically you can get you point across without being vulgar. for example the title of the last post, included the word “cunt”, i am sorry but to me that word is so offensive i didn’t even feel like reading the article. call me prudish, i don’t care. I just think that a certain level of decency is not too much too ask.
Nandita
Nandu87,
Yeah I agree I’m not a big fan of that word either. However the way it worked with the batman references was amazing and really funny. That’s why I like CB, he’s not afraid to go there. There is a fine line in comedy and CB tip toes around it all the time. Sometimes it works..sometime it doesn’t.
However my comment was about the person who got mad at people calling Sara hot. I think for the most part that is done in fun and I’m sure it’s preferred to being called something negative.
hmm…i didn’t even notice Curry Bear used that word in the last article.
SOME of us can maneuver around Hookah towers. lol.
(Insert Joker How I got my scars dialogue here)
Hookah is worse than smoking cigarettes and was my gateway to cigarettes (which is the antithesis of what happens to most heads) until I proudly stopped both and would rather get dopamine from running.
“Vulgarity has its uses. Vulgarity often cuts ice which refinement scrapes at vainly.”
With that being said, never stop Curry Bear.
Iron my shirt bitch !
nandu87
why so prude?
Sara must not be that pretty…because this article was crap. It wasn’t at all informative, and wasn’t even remotely funny. Wow.
i wanna fuck sara so hard
OK never mind I guess people are too vulgar.
“This article was written by one of our readers (one of the pretty ones, because ugly people can’t write).”
May be the pretty ones who write are always stupid?
Hookah is not Indian tradition, smoking beedi is.
