I am a little confused now. Everybody was all up in arms in the sweatpants thread about how women can wear sweatpants all the time and they should not be judged. But we have a problem with pajama jeans for men?

Saris are generally the same couple of sizes in length (usually 7 yards or 9 yards) and the width is also pretty much fixed depending on the size of the loom they are made on. The made to order part is only true for the petticoat and more importantly, the blouse.

Some of my American friends say that they were lucky because their parents paid for part of their education and so now they have only $20,000-$50,000 in debt. Most of these people are just starting to get steady jobs (if they are lucky) and will probably be paying off their debts for the next 10-15 years. This means…

No, we are not. You are.

This is interesting because just a few hours ago I was having a conversation with an Indian woman about how things are different for women in science between the US and India. I am a neuroscience researcher and she is a professor in Physics. We probably have a 20 year age difference and grew up in India at very…

Is it the "Sisters of St Anne"? I am not Catholic but I went to Catholic school in India and the nuns in our school used to wear very similar habits. The belt part looks slightly different so I am not sure.

I realize that generic manufacturers don't have to spend much money on research but here is some information about how competition from generic drugs brought down the price of AIDS medication more that 100 fold within a few months and how big pharma fought against poor countries introducing the generic…

Most generics are made by drug companies in developing companies. I know that the Indian company Ranbaxy makes a whole bunch of generics including anti HIV medication and the recently approved Lipitor generic. As somebody else mentioned, Teva is a big generic manufacturer.

From what I have heard, Dev Anand's hairdo was inspired by Gregory Peck.

Any other Bollywood Jezzies out there who need an electronic hug? I almost broke down while watching the "Abhi na jao chod kar" song last night.

In American English it is defense. As an Indian who grew up with British English and now lives in the US, I am constantly confused about the spelling of some of the most common words. Honestly, half the time I don't even know if I am actually mis-spelling something or if it is a British/American English thing.

Even though I am totally against secretly filming/photographing someone in public, it is nice to see that the guys doing the filming sound genuinely impressed and happy for her. I envy her for her confidence. Half the time, I am scared to use the treadmill in the gym because of worries that I will trip and fall and…

Your use of the term "froggie" instead of "French" says a lot more about you that it does about the French. I would have tried to reason with you but your prejudice is showing.

"Taylor's so risk-averse that the girl evens (sic) remembers to not mouth "muthafuckin" while being (supposedly) caught up in the moment of singing along to Nicki Minaj's performance of "Superbass."

I don't think it is VPL. Thanks to my genes, I have been blessed with a bulge of muscle on the outer side of my upper thighs. I can do all the squats I like but they will never go away. If I wear a dress that is a size too small, it looks exactly like Christina here.

This post is in danger of becoming a rant but I will try to keep it short and coherent.

Maybe because you haven't met enough "Frenchies"?

I used tampons and rode a bike to school everyday for years but I bled way more than this. Also, the bleeding did not stop for a few hours. It was heavier than my heaviest period for at least an hour. I ended up using three tampons that night. My boyfriend had completely freaked out and was insisting on taking me to…

What on earth is "the Hunger shoot" and why does it involve weird splicing of images? Also, I am happy that Heidi's legs and thighs, though in amazing shape, look realistic and not photoshopped.

Just commenting to agree with you on all points.
