Today, during a glorious outing at the park with my new baby, my mother urgently dug around her purse for a black eyeliner, found one, and proceeded to draw a "kaala tikka" on my baby's face to prevent "nazar". I was grateful. MLID

Today, I saw the shaadi.com ad on MLID that said "get marriage proposals daily!" I realized that only desis would set up a marriage site instead of a dating one.

Today, my friends & I decided to go downtown for New Year's Eve, but decided to wait till 7 pm as transit would be free after then. About 200 other desis had the exact same idea too. MLID.

Today, in college, I signed up for tutoring in calculus. My tutor turned out to be a desi engineering student. We spent half an hour reminiscing about the chaat back in India before we talked about hyperbolic functions. MLID.

Today on my morning subway commute I spent the majority of the time staring at a man trying to figure out if he is Mexican or Indian. I still don't know. It is really frustrating. MLID.
