Mine. Was. If you ever owned a car since she was brand spanking 9 miles old and then had to sell her a few years later, you would know then that is by far, one of lowest gut wrenching feelings of your speeding adulthood. I still remember clearly, the spring of 2006 when I first[…]
The fascination for rap began a long time ago. As television in India started feasting on western content, I was instantaneously exposed to music on the music channels such as MTV and Channel V. And amongst those channels, while my teenage mind wasn’t ogling at Shenaz and other good looking VJ’s, I found myself nodding[…]
My American Appetite My first thanksgiving in this country was miserable. Without much money I stayed in town while I watched my roommates and friends take off for the 4 day break. I expected festivities to be like back home when holidays came around, but instead the walk around town on the day of thanksgiving[…]
