I was surprised to learn that the popular ABCD (american born confused desi) has been aptly extended to include the complete alphabet... check out these two variations:
(1) "American Born Confused Desi, Emigrated From Gujarat, House in Jersey, Kids Learning Medicine, Now Owning Property, Quite Reasonable Salary, Two Uncles Visiting, White Xenophobia Yet Zestful"
(2) "American Born Confused Desi, Emigrated From Gujarat, Housed In Jersey, Keeping Lotsa Motels, Named Omkarnath Patel, Quickly Reached Success Through Underhanded Vicious Ways, Xenophobic Yet Zestful"
Apropos ABCD, I was in the middle of nowhere in Arkansas last week. There I met one of the nicest persons in my life - Hirendra Bhai. He was, as expected, part owner of the hotel I was residing in. Anyway he was extremely kind and helpful during the whole five days I was there. And yes, I had some very good Gujarati style food in the most typical environment you will expect of any middle class Gujarati family - sitting on the floor, eating with your hands while religious figurines ornament the walls. The rest of the family was flipping channels between a cricket match and a Saas-Bahoo saga. Awesome.
