i may not get your satire, but you don't get the point.

It's pretty easy to pass judgement when you don't have your own blog that we can judge. Why don't you try it sometimes, and see how well you can do it; While I may not agree with what many people/say or post on this site, one thing I do respect and admire, is the bloggers willingness to spend the time and effort to bring interesting things to light or discussion, or fun. By the way, get a spell checker, you misspelled condescending - and learn to use the cap's key.

I know not everyone gets my satire. Those who do however, appreciate it.

better to be a misunderstood genius than a popular idiot, innit?

You could always go with her desi-lookalike (at least, in my opinion. Hrishita Bhatt

But then again, this is completely irrelevant if Abhi doesn’t really like Alyssa.

Abhi's post is labeled Humor, which is spelled L-E-E-W-A-Y.
He makes a distinct point about a ditzy starlet who exoticizes desi culture.
There are gobs of desi connections in this post:

UNICEF ambassador to India
Henna
MTV India
Ravi Shankar
Hinduism
Reincarnation
Kurtas
Yoga
Indian history
Rahul Bose
Farooque Shaikh

In fact, I'm not sure any other posts here have packed that many desi connections into such few words.

This blog isn't a paper of record. Check out India Abroad if that's what you're after. If you want serious news, The Acorn.

abhi, i stand by my original comment and i think you’re even more condesending after your response. i’ve been reading this blog for over six months. i don’t think the maisnon comment was about comments at all, i think it was about your post. how does that egg feel? i may not get your satire, but you don’t get the point.

I agree with Abhi that comment #13 grasped the saliency of his post. I feel somewhat ashamed as a reader for overlooking the importance of Alyssa stepping into ‘the role of UNICEFÂ’s ambassador to India’ To make it clear, Abhi even went to the great lengths of mentioning the UNICEF line in boldface.. er.. well.. Abhi probably likes to use boldfacing sparingly, after all, he wouldn’t boldface miscellany like how Alyssa may have been a Krishna cohort.. erm..

more like abhi felt like posting on it, and since it's his blog he didn't care and just did it.

"no dino or john thanks" it seems like you might be new here so let me explain a few things before you broadcast any more assumptions.

(1) When Deepa stated, "This whole post seems tangential, AT BEST. I'm down for the cheesecake as much as the next gal - but come on!" I thought she was talking about this comment and not my post. If I am wrong about that then egg on my face.

even still,

(2) I never (well rarely ever) will blog about something that has no purpose. Cicatrix in comment #13 was observant enough to figure out the point of my post.

(3) If you think "Abhi likes Alyssa," you won't understand my body of work at all. I know not everyone gets my satire. Those who do however, appreciate it.

come on you guys. its not a question of giving links to guy’s pictures as a way of fixing it. that’s almost condesending. maisnon is right, this wasn’t really sepia material. more like abhi felt like posting on it, and since it’s his blog he didn’t care and just did it. when i am done reading this blog, usually i’ve picked up something or if you quiz me, i can tell you what every post was on. if you asked me about this one, i’d say “abhi likes alyssa”. i didn’t get the unecef thing at all. i’m pretty sure that’s not what you want us to remember about this…
