P-C, have you seen The Namesake yet? It's about this very thing and a very good film.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Trust my rage
Is there some scary-ass immigration employee, on a mission from God to fuck up all future generations, handing this selfsame script to all non-USian parents as they cross our border?
Oooh, this could be me. Except it doesn't sound like much fun.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I have a couple friends who want to see it, so we'll be seeing it soon, I hope.

Perhaps this article on making matzoh balls [link] will distract people from the horrors of March.

Now tagless for your comfort.
P-C, did your mother email you the CNN video clip about the 2% divorce rate for Indian arranged marriages? I thought of you when I saw it.

Go York! Choose York!
Or, you know, whatever you want to do, SA. But that is made of awesome.
Everybody else: Sorry. In like a lion out like a lamb?

It's not just immigrant parents - the home-grown variety can be just as crazy.

I have not heard about that! Heh. That's better than the, what, 50% divorce rate for regular marriages? Isn't that what it is, or is that a myth?
I think we know a couple divorced Indian people. Well, besides my damn cousins in India who keep fucking things up for me by sucking at staying married.

You might point them out as a horrible example - as in, you want to wait and find just the right person so you don't end up like them.

ION, it's official, I have a job to go to in DC. So I'm planning to arrive there May 1. Anybody want to buy a whole load of silverplate (silverware, coffee service, etc), so I don't have to eBay it?
