Would dadaji consider adopting? All my grandparents are long dead so I’m a genuine grand-orphan!

Thank youfor this beautiful piece. I am so tired of every portrayal of our culture as misogynistic. Yes it exists but there are plenty of progessive people of all ages and all walks of life. When people judge the entirety of “Indian culture” on what they hear of India in sensational news stories, its like if the whole…

My great-aunt Lulu back in the 1910s or 1920s. She never married, but, I am told, always had a boyfriend.

From my grandmother it was totally expected, given she was a foul-mouthed, beer-drinking, out-dancing-all-night old lady who couldn’t give two shits if she tried. Still pretty jarring though!

Oh Prachi, I LOVE your Dadaji. XO

It’s such a nice counterpart to a true story that an Indian friend of mine once told me about a courtship many decades ago.

Every night a young man would come over to visit the young woman who was to be his bride. Every night she would silently nod and demurely lead him into the parlor where he would talk *to* her and…

What a treasure, Prachi.

This was beautiful to read. A beam of sunshine on this cloudy, rainy day. Thank you.

I hope you show this to him. It’s touching and poignant, and so often we rarely put this sort of thought to paper until it’s too late (a eulogy).

With all due respect, this weekend is Father’s Day. I’ll be eating food out of my dad’s mouth thankyouverymuch.

And here I thought this was going to be an Alicia Silverstone update.

I will never be pregnant with a chold either.

Yeah. I am pretty sure people have been doing unspeakable things to camo for a long time. But buying that design and then releasing a very similar line right afterwards seems very suspect. Don’t know how close the designs have to be to make a case.

CrazySexyCool was the soundtrack to my high school years, and I even saw them perform live just a few months ago which was an absolute blast. Disappointing that they are avoid the depressing politics of the current age, but given their contributions to gender politics in the prime of their careers I am happy to let…

Confession..I am a Dr. Phil addict, ever since I was diagnosed with cancer and have been sidelined most of the time over the past 18 months. No matter how bad things are, I can instantly feel that I am enjoying peak mental health, compared to these poor souls. Can’t put a price on that!

lol no. white trash ebonics is an american thing

Same. I actually watched clips of the follow-up show that was on today (bootleg youtube downloads) and it’s no wonder she behaves the way she does because her mother behaves in the exact same manner. She just hid it better the first time around. And fuck Dr.Phil for entertaining this bullshit. He is milking it, he…

How the fuck does a 13 year old moron from Florida end up sounding like an illiterate chav from Yorkshire?

Yes at 30 you are too old to get some of them. Welcome to the club, put on a shawl and pull up a rocking chair.

Well, I mean, that’s not a burn.
