The last time I smoked a bidi was about 2001, I was working in switzerland and I was kickin it getting faded and puffin a bidi... And my indian homegirl saw me and TRIPPED the fuck out. She had never seen em outside of India, and she said only grimy working class Indians smoked 'em. She was upper-caste and she and her folks would only smoke Marlboros and imported US cigs because that's what ballers in India smoke.... She thought it was hilarious and fuckin cool that an american would get down like that and said it made her week seeing that and she was gonna tell all her friends back home about it....
