I live in a small town of 40K people in Northern United States, where the temparature is below zero for at least 8 months a year! No surprise then that there are less than a dozen Indian students here. I am originally from India(of course), born in Cochin, Kerala where i lived until i was 16. Then i lived in Mangalore and Bangalore for the next 3 years,where most of my family is from around. I came to the U.S. in December 1999, and have been here since. My mother tounge is Konkani. I like to converse with people who have some idea of what they are talking about! I have seen my share of ignorant people .... I am usually very tolerant, but (of course there has to be a but) I can't stand conservative thinkers anymore. Sorry.... I respect your ideas, but no thanks, i don't need them. I really forgot how intellectual Indians are (nice way of saying that i see a bunch of morons everyday?) I am known to have, lets say, peculiar/eccentic tastes in life. Oh and let me tell you right away that I have never liked HINDI films for the most part. I find them hideous. I don't like the usual mainstream commercial movies, Hindi, English or any other language. The most realistic movie in recent history was ''American Beauty.'' You get the idea of my movie tastes. They don't have to be all serious, i like the humorous movies too. Reading, Global Affairs, Philosophy, Psychology, Music, Photography, Thinking, talking, travelling and many many more

is a quality magazine, but i haven't been reading them lately. I can't say i agree with everything TIME prints, but that's not the reason I haven't read it in a while. Even though I have great respect for the TIME, i can't say the same about CNN. I'll never watch or read from the CNN website read more...

I once stopped by in Dubai to change flights, and the view of the deserts from up above makes it look like gold. Especially during sunset and I instantly fell in love. The airport was nice too, but i found a little cheating in the Duty free shopping there (most looked Indian to me!) I would love to read more...
a lot more. I had to trim to keep it withing 8000 words! This airline was that bad. Thanks for your comments dissK. Gautham PS: Could someone tell me how this BOLD works. I tried to use it and it makes the whole review instead of just the headings bold.
for one of THE greatest magazines. I read the mag. at the univ. library regularly, and watch the channel at home. Both are great. Loved it. (I had just started writing a review on the topic myself, but you did a much better job.) Gautham
But the series is full of legal flaws. In a U.S law and constitution class i took this semster, the professor showed us one of the episodes and pointed endless flaws in the series. Our assignment after that was to watch one ourselves and identify the flaws. If i hadn't taken the class, i would never read more...
true. The Hindu is the best newspaper in India. I grew up reading this paper (Coimbatore Edition) and my favourite section was 'International. ' My interest in global issues started just through the hindu. I do miss it too. And Kalil, you are absolutely right about the US regional newspapers. They read more...
Everyone has a weak point, and mine is that I can't rewrite things. Okay, maybe I can, but I absolutely despise it. I rather start from scratch than rewrite. I don't know if i can delete this review, but i am planning on writing a new one sometime (soon?) in the future. This one was a little too pre read more...

indeed vivek. I totally agree with you on the things you said in this review. As Santosh said India bashing has become a fashion, and indeed everyone vanishes when you talk about solving the problem. I am not even in India, and i probably have the least right to do the bashing, but have you trie read more...

I can totally relate to your story. I read all the news'papers' online, and i have a huge list in my favorites. NYtimes, LAtimes, and many other American ones, half a dozen Indian ones, half a dozen regional ones... oh my!

a city that i have been to. I have visitied Coimbatore a few times, but haven't seen many tourist attractions however. I remember the beautiful market, the amazing food (S. Indian of course!) etc. I almost remember that place where we ate. It's quite famous for its dosas or something. Anyway, I don' read more...
It is indeed a shame that inspite of living in South India for 19 years I haven't been to Kodai or Ooty. Why, i haven't even been to Moonar which is in my own state! And this from a guy who loveeeees travelling ! Don't ask. Reading this article only makes me feel miserable. Can't blame anyone but read more...
Kalil. I absolutely loved this review. Of course, I am a huge fan of Beethoven, Mozart, Bach... Some people have such negative stereotypes about classical music. In fact, an Indian guy once told me that it was 'sissy' to listen to such music. Well, your loss buddy! I just don't get it. Anyway, I read more...

Good job. Would love to go to UAE. I fell in love with this place (Abu Dhabi, Dubai) when i landed there to catch a connecting flight some years ago. It was sunset hour, and the desert from the plane looked truly like a huge pile of gold. It was beautiful. I hope i can visit some day. Being from Ker read more...
First of all, its nice seeing some from Cochin here. Yes CIAL is quite efficient, and i love it even though the old Airport was much closer to my house. And quite honestly, i don't mind paying the Rs. 500 charge because, you are paying for the service that you don't find in most airports in India. W read more...
Dublin is a nice place, and I did visit Trinity College and Dublin City University (DCU). Trinity is largely a liberal arts college, and DCU has technical courses. Trinity has a museum like feel and is in the middle of Dublin City chaos; both these factors make it a little unappealing (as a school) read more...
