Long live the Jezebels!

I had desi friends, though very few in numbers but they were at peace with themselves. They weren’t out to prove to the West that they were western enough nor did they all of a sudden discover their Indian roots and suddenly start organizing melas and fashion shows for Tsunami Victims and then watch the videos of the damn thing over samosas and coke.

I became quite a loner in the US, mostly to be found at the local library, going for long walks with my son, watching movies, reading books and being online.

Its okay to be alone, you don’t have to suffer fools gladly or those you don’t gel with.

And believe me better to be the Jezebel than one of the mommies with the herd like mentality;)

Too bad I say, can't keep watching one's mouth all the time ! Girl…I knew this when we were both 12 with that awful plaited hair :))

But seriously, its not ‘odd’, just maybe being a tad more upfront/outspoken than what is permissible.. Too bad I say, can’t keep watching one’s mouth all the time !

It all depends on ones perception.<br/><br/>PS: It is Roark. :D

Funnily, I am weird (for totally different reasons) too, except that I told everyone that yesterday! Hmmm…this seems to be the time for introspection.
