This bitch, Luny sister has a horrible personality. She managed her brother’s company horribly. He attitude and arrogant ways, just like her brother will lead to a very short term career. They should learn from Luny’s partner, (the real master of beats)Tunes. He is humble and respects people. Luny’s sister is ugly and should get an extreme make over like her brother did!

hrmm…a family friend of mine married a puerto rican woman for his green card back in the day and later divorced her…no joke. or maybe it was my parents slandering him because we like to do that… does that happen often? anyhoo…she must have a super freaking brain to be fluent in all those languages and not fully immersed in any of the cultures. I guess bollywood did something good.

Marrying someone for a green card exists in many immigrant communities.

Coach has talked about it some before - you can find pieces by searching the comments. Here's one piece.

Thanks for the links, Denise. I didn't know that Trinidad had such a diverse culture. Are the afro-caribbean women part of most dance groups or are they occassional dancers? And where can I find Chutney music?

I think the Afro-Caribbean women are ocassional dancers; I haven't seen any during regular Chutney performances. Chutney music can be found here at Chutney Zone. It's a pretty comprehensive site.

Manish, when I was in India last month I saw the write-up about you in Time Out Mumbai. Very nice. Looks like you’re having a great time out there.

You had Gujarai foster parents? You can't stop there: I'm sure you could churn out a couple dozen blog posts detailing that experience. If you want to, that is.

i second that. i'd be real interested in hearing about that experience.
