Some simple reverse engineering on this article suggests that while I am in India, I should expect to speak almost exclusively of money, politics and religion. Then again, considering that my Sustainable Development class has been described as focusing on "political history and economy and religious systems" my logic might not be that far off.
The second best thing about this article is that it led me to this article from 2006 about Americans, which comments on the humor of Jay Leno and George W Bush: http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2006-08-14/india/27788369_1_americans-indian-outsourcing-indian-companies
Also important is the article's description of dog meeting camel.
