My Desi Girl

It's occurred to me that, too often, women are unaware of what the protocol around situations should be. I'm not talking about any women... Specifically my DESI women who just don't GET it! Now my sistaz from different mistaz, don't get alarmed. You comprise a majority of 76.12%* of the ladies in North America who are absolutely confused as to HOW they should alter their behaviour given the specific setting in which they find themselves. So, I don't claim myself an expert** when it comes to issues pertaining to dating, rishtas, shopping nor do I assure you 100% success with my so-called advice. What I DO promise, however, is being able to relate to similar situations from personal experience and giving you a good indication as to what may or may not*** work - mostly what DOES NOT work****.

A good majority of my findings (I try and sound resourceful when I can) will reflect my background, being of Southasian descent with a bit of religious modesty. I can't remember the last time I opened up a Cosmo magazine and they had topics about my sex life (or lack thereof) that I could relate to directly. I hope you find what's to come useful and maybe you might have some critiquing for me - but I welcome you to read, as well as challenge some of my ideas.

Topics I anticipate:

- Rishta Do’s & Don’ts

- Khaana 101

- Vant to Friandship?

- eEtiquette

- Deodorant: use it

=> For my non-Desi readers, "Rishta" is the act of receiving and/or sending out marriage proposals (sometimes simultaneously). "Khaana" is Food.
