Today, my mom lectured me to not stay at this girl's house too long. I go there to tutor her brother. I'm 18 and the girl is 12. Give me a damn break. ISD

Today, my mom got mad because I told her the rishta picture that came through email for my sister was old looking and ugly. Her response, "but he is a doctor!!!" ISD

Today, I found out why my boyfriend will never make me meet his parents. I'm an Indian girl and he is a Pakistani boy who is engaged to a Pakistani girl. I guess that's what you get when you fall for a Paki boy. ISD

Today, I realized that whenever I talk on the phone with my boyfriend, I always call him by a girls name so my parents wont suspect anything. ISD

Today, more like everyday of my winter break will be spent working at the motel my parents own. I cant wait till classes start again so I can get away from the motel. ISD

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. It was the happiest day of my life! Now, I just have to tell my parents that, although she is a practicing converted Muslim, she isn't desi. Sorry mom, I guess u can stop searching for lady doctors for me. ISD

Today, my mom told me that guys are going to come by and see me for possible rishtas. No wonder why this whole week my mom has treated me like royalty. ISD

Today, my dad told me if I marry someone that is not the same caste as me, he will never be able to show his face in his village again. He hasn't been back to India since he left 25 years ago. ISD

Today, I realized that I won't be able to see my boyfriend for a couple of weeks because I'm off from school for Christmas break, and my parents don't let me go out. I'm 20. ISD

Today, my friends from school started to refer to my boyfriend and I as Kelly and Ryan from "The Office" just because I'm desi and my boyfriend is white. ISD
