Just wanted to write a quickie before dashing off to yet another class.
1. My apartment is made of wood.
2. Indians can be prejudiced and racist too. And usually very very unfairly so.
3. Americans love desserts and conversations as much as we do.
4. We treat our teachers with a lot more respect usually.
5. I have always disliked my name. It was a burden to carry around even in Delhi. I was tired of repeating it, explaining it, spelling it. Now I hate it. Not because it's been mocked or frowned upon or disliked. In fact, it's been treated with a lot more respect here than anywhere else. But I hate it now, simply because I am exhausted.
Class time! See you later.

hmm.....cant agree more on ur second point...........
Indians are probably one of the most racist communities (if u can club casteism along with it)
Woodsmoke's apartment is made of wood. Voila.
Tell them that your name is 10e, and that is a code for the prototype for a human like robot scientists in India are developing.
Some of the key features to be scared of are:
1) It kicks when irritated
2) It kicks harder within 3 seconds of the first kick
3) It would give a supari to snickle in India if further irritated
Yes i agree with deepak her Indians r more racist ...if u club cast thing n now one more thing is budding up in india that is descriminaton on the basis of money ..few days back a NGO person commented that "Middle class ppl r not that pateriotic "..
house of wood.. well i find that very very fairy tale kind ..:D
As Rohit said, Woodsmoke's apartment is made of wood. :D
As Chitrangada said, seems fairy-tale-ish.
As Deeps said, can't agree with you more on the second point.
As Prashant said, tell them that your name is 10e.
As I say, I totally understand the name issue. I've faced a lot of problems with mine, though it's shorter and sweeter than yours. :P
People call me all sorts of things according to their whims. And another person in my college, Sabyasachi Ghosh, has similar problems as you. He wrote a complete post on it.
Let's see what the others have to say. :)
@ D
You bet. It is sickening.
@ Rohit
:D
Good one there.
@ Om
My personal laughter machine is in perfect condition I see.
@ Chitrangada
Within India it is bad already we know that...but outside the country we should be conscious of presenting a good image of who we are and where we come from. People here are bound to judge our country by the way we behave with them.
@ Swetank
Your name is shorter alright...but sweeter..ahem!
:)
@ Mayuri
Come over here for a bit of both.
