I’ve had a lot of comments or messages from white women who fell in love with an Indian man only to have him run off and get married behind their backs. I usually assume the Indian men do really like their girlfriends but in the end just can’t bear their family’s disapproval so they marry [...]

MIM’s brother and bhabhi just welcomed another little one into the world making MIM an uncle for the second time – but this time it’s a boy! Because he arrived earlier than expected, they hadn’t decided on a name for him yet. So MIM and I both sent our picks: Shayan (deserving, worthy) is mine [...]

Lately I’ve been hearing a lot about relationships between American women and Indian men not working out and I’ve been asked for advice or my opinions on the matter. Truthfully, I don’t feel well equipped to answer such things. I met MIM very unexpectedly and simply got lucky I guess. I hadn’t done any research [...]

I love Kajol. Love love love her. The other day I Googled her to find out more info like: who she is married to, how did she break into acting, etc. The search led me to a video of her and her husband on a talk show answering questions about their relationship and giving advice. [...]

I never thought this event would happen, but MIM’s mom has joined Facebook. And I friend requested her. So now, we are Facebook friends before we ever met in person. This is what it means to live in the 21st century! MIM just loves seeing his mom write on my wall or in my inbox [...]

I sent MIM out in the cold and snow to pick up donuts. I’m such a good girlfriend! In the sudden quiet and stillness, it’s the perfect time to write a new blog. So, lately I’ve been trying to get MIM up to American pop culture standards. We watch a lot of Family Guy together [...]
