anticipation (with a hint of
anxiety) about the future

Usage: "I am f***ing bzoooked today !!"

Desi red-necks from Freemont !

I met someone yesterday after a long time.. and he pissed me off !
(so what else is new.. you might ask.. but here goes anyway...)

He belongs to the category of people that live SMACK DAB in the middle of the desiest-town in the bay area.. I meet him right outside a Desi store.. and he starts to talk about how he "hates" it here coz there are so many desis... and mind you.. he's there to pick up some groceries... they're always cheaper at the desi store y'no...

He wasn't born and brought up in this country.. but he's moved here now.. and he's finally got his green card.. so maybe NOW he thinks that there are too many desis in this country.

What really pissed me off was that he thought I would be okay with hearing him say this ? Now I'm as desi as you get.. I dance pretty much only to desi music, and would trade a glass of expensive wine for a "tapri ki chai" anyday.. so I didn't get the idea behind him sharing his anti-desi opinions with me !!

I understand that some people find life here better than in India.. and they develop interests that are probably more common among Americans than Indians..
But if they start to make comments like these about Indians themselves.. what can we expect from Americans ?

Off to the mid-west for these desi red-necks I say.. they need a taste of their own medicine !

Women are judgemental...

Trust me.. I KNOW.. I am one !!

Its almost like we have to make an "effort" to NOT be so.. We're judgemental of all human beings.. but no matter how much the men reading this are nodding their heads in agreement.. we're WORST on our own kind !

Women are the harshest (is that a word ?) when judging women !

We do it in different ways..
Some of us judge physical appearance... height, weight, looks etc... ( ask any teen/pre-teen in high school in this country...)

If they're ok in that department, we judge their intellect.. I mean if they're pretty.. they've GOT to be dumb right ?

However, if they don't lack in the IQ department either.. then we judge their morality.. the clothes they're wearing and what not...

We judge women who leave their jobs to have children .. and we also judge those who leave them behind at a creche to go back to pursue their careers...

We judge women who are not vocal about their opinions..and then we judge those who express it too often or too loudly..

We judge our ex-boyfriends' current girlfriends.. our current boyfriends' ex-girlfriends.. we spare NO ONE !!

This is also linked to our constant need for justifying what we do..

Does anyone really "care" why we do what we do ? Or in the end.. are we simply justifying our own behaviour to ourselves ?

Is it because we don't even spare ourselves in this need to judge everyone ?

There's some seriously complex circuitry up there... one wrong move.. and you can blow our fuse... WATCH OUT !!
