For My Pappaji

30, Dec 2009

With all good things during the Christmas season comes sad tidings. On the 24th morning, my grandfather passed away. He had Alzheimer’s and was in poor health; his passing I believe relieved his pain. I wish I had some pictures to scan of him but hopefully when in India, I can find some. It’s hard [...]

Group Sex and Swedish Women

17, Dec 2009

I was eating a delicious lamb roast when we got into the discussion of Swedish women.  Because of course Swedish girls are like little lambs:  soft, sweet, and delicate.

If you missed out [...]

An Indian American in Sweden or an American Indian in Sweden?

3, Dec 2009

I haven’t written much about my ethnicity on the blog as really, I have not felt the need to do so. Recently however, I’ve been asked whether I consider myself American first or Indian first. It’s a very hard question because today I don’t know how to answer it. A little bit about myself. I [...]
