I Guess it is time to define DESI

Desi literally means "local, regional" or "indigenous", as opposed to videshi विदेशी وِدسی meaning "foreign". The term is used to refer to people or things of South Asian origin.

Some Desis are creating what can be called a "fusion" culture, in which foods, fashions, music, and the like from many areas of South Asia are "fused" with elements from Western culture.
