Doing my bit to keep Indian tradition alive here in the UK anyway. My Asian grooms love it. Why is this site called Butter chicken in Bratislava by the way? I had an au pair from Bratislava and she had never heard of butter chicken.

1. time waits for nobody (though in America most consider 30′s and 40′s to still be young)

2. due to their constant travelling and having to eat out, as well as the high stress of having to work full time to support their children, these women put on weight.

But guess what? They are still working….

I’d still like to see more hot hunks when I’m in India though…. just being honest. It is what we girls think about like every 30 seconds or so, whether we say so or not, or whether particular cultures/societies like it or not. Oh well, not all men are blessed like the Arabians in that department.

Right back atcha guys…..

Maybe because they are born to emaciated, malnourished, anemic mothers, and then grow up with very poor nutritional inputs (including very little protein) and healthcare; in addition to working like slaves right from childhood (instead of playing around like wealtheir kids). No one is going to end up tall and buff after that…they are totally stunted.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

We laugh because it’s funny, and we laugh because it’s true.

Dharma Queen, I love you.

And how come all the rickshaw wallas in India are not tall, buff, young, handsome men with kundis like Brad Pitt?

Can you imagine riding on the back of such a rickshaw? I’d definetly be giving out tips. Oh well, the way it is now, I save money.

Thats exactly how I felt, watching to see if it got worse and hoping it didn’t.

This happened to me in NYC once…I saw 4 white guys harrassing this Indian dude with his white girlfriend…they didn’t touch him, but they kept getting in his face and challenging him to do something about it. He ignored them. I kept watching to see if things got physical (thank God they didn’t) but I didn’t jump in because I didn’t relish being beaten up by 4 white guys. Eventually they left.

your hints can be summarized as get in business class and impress them. a bit more specific pl if your going to post something like that…

Also, I wanted to go back in regards to the other discussion on sexual harrasement and ethnicity, I think that was actually a good discussion. As a man of color, it’s hard to seperate out the stereotyping and stigmatization of men of color which is without basis and the misogyny that works itself out in multiple cultures. I still maintain the easy link between “macho” and misogyny” is colorized and made into a working class and ethnic stigma that leaves more affluent and whiter sections of our society blameless and contributes to racism. However, patriarchy is probably at play in my defense of punjabi men. Still, as a punjabi man it’s difficult to see our culture derided by unfair generalizations that actually play into the established dichotomy in US culture; namely working class men and men of color on one side and affluent white men on another. How easily Punjabi culture in the discussion is fit into the “gangsta” slot.

Also I saw a guy in a car this weekend harrasing a woman waiting for the bus. It was disturbing and I admit I could not do much about it. I thought about honking my horn, but feared violence would ensue. Sad, but true
