I looked over something related to your post at techcrunch… at any rate, I think car audio is usually misunderstood but has some excellent quality manufacturers also. -Best Regards, Rana Arentz

ABCD or American-Born Confused Desi has become a polarizing factor in the Indian or Pakistani diaspora in the US, with first-generation immigrant parents and young Indians of second or latter generations.Though the term was originally coined in reference to Indian-Americans, it has been adopted by the South Asian community at large. The term “desi” comes from the word “des” (homeland) in Sanskrit and Hindi; and “desi” and is used to mean anyone from the subcontinent including India and Pakistan.Best Entertainment Sites

@Amit – The loneliness is the killer…being in a new land with nothing to do can be quite unnerving. I talked about this in an earlier post on H4 wives as well.

I think more than anything else, its the loneliness. Many of my friends complain about that.
That was a nice short movie.

@Mysoul – Thanks for sharing your experience. I agree happiness comes from within, and we need to be able to deal with new situations.
On the other points, i too speak unaccented English, and am happy doing so. I have never had a high opinion of the obnoxious Indians who go home and try to impress people with their phoren accents.

I get her so well.. I was her(with a more supportive husband of course, thank god for small blessings). I still get the “surprised look” everytime I go home and someone there speaks in American accent while I still have my Indian accent…and still mechanically challenged by some of the “sophisticated gadgets” but I am no more embarassed to say so. And I dont feel as lonely as it used to be, cause in all that loneliness I realized nothing can beat the pleasure of my own company, its the best kind . Conceited Arent I?

@Chutney – Welcome to Amreekandesi!

@Roshni – Very true. Pretensions abound in our society though…some pretend to be cultured, some pretend to be rich, and our politicians pretend to actually care for the people! (Its election time…hard to resist)

@AmListening – As am i!

@Vinod – I guess so, but then those same people want Indian culture too.

@Gauri – Thanks. Good point.
Maybe your security settings dont allow embedded objects such as audio/video?

The link to this video is here

@Poonam –

@Mahendra – Thanks!

@Smitha – I guess they do. But to his credit, he didn’t take much time to realize that he wasn’t being fair.
