All desi women he dates will hear about it in great detail. He will tell them he is so over cheap thrills now and is looking to "settle" - a term whose gravitas only desis will be able to fathom :)<BR/><BR/>sfg - repression and anxiety about morals and morality is always a middle class condition. The rich don't give a damn and the poor have the freedom of those who have nothing left to lose.<BR/><BR/>I guess the operating definition of middle class(and as such ability to identify with it) is challenging where you could have a lifestyle funded via credit card debt...Heartcrossingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11611681863892546438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10539912.post-1155532032800894532006-08-14T01:07:00.000-04:002006-08-14T01:07:00.000-04:00A sociologist cuz of mine back home said that the ...A sociologist cuz of mine back home said that the mores you refer to are a middle class invention. The poor and the rich don't live by it.<BR/><BR/>Recently I read and hear that things are changing back home, especially among the young urban Indians. In the U.S. I do think it is changing rapidly among the first generation desis.<BR/><BR/>The problem is with the immigrant generation, whether they came 30 years ago or yesterday, we carry too much baggage. Even here it is a question of how much we "grow" up emotionally and intellectually.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10539912.post-1155311203899461192006-08-11T11:46:00.000-04:002006-08-11T11:46:00.000-04:00Should he find that woman, her very acquiescence t...Should he find that woman, her very acquiescence to this arrangement is the all proof he needs of her being a slut <BR/><BR/>- The above statements is so true.
