Indo-German Connection

What makes us similar and yet so different?

With most Indian languages and German having roots in "Sanskrit", could we be different in our "Sanskriti" (culture)? Actually, the Indians are quite the opposite of Germans. Flexible, chaotic, unorganized, reactive and loud, compared to the more orderly, fixated, specific, planned and 'nein' cultured folks. So it's not easy to say, where the twain meets, if it meets at all? But then we both eat 'Ananas' and spell 'a' as आ or aa, unlike the Americans.

Ostentatious Wedding Cards

Weddings are on my mind... well, for one, there is an upcoming one of my cousin sis. And I'm excited to attend it. Not that I have the card yet, but then coincidentally, I chanced upon my own dating back to 1995!

Surprise Gifts

As the evening of 16-April dawned, I was informed by a neighbor that they had received an airmail packet on my behalf. And lo and behold, there was this nicely stitched up cloth packed parcel.

Mystic secret

Aap ki Aankhon Mein... rings in my ears as I write this, reminding me of the sexuality then, and now! When I grew up, the Polka Dot Bikini, oops, Saree, was a unique form of sensuality.

Crass Indian Attitude

I attended a Workshop on managing Taxes, held in English on 7-April in Bonn. 13 folks attended, of which 3 (including me), were of Indian origin. Normally, one would expect that living in Germany would teach the average Joe to respect time and be sensitive to others too!
