I don't even know if I'm done sowing my wild oats yet.

NO. Or at the very least, please keep them within a small waxed brown paper pouch, because that's where all oats should be. I actually have a section of my cabinet at work labeled "oatmeal and technology."

Man... I have enough of a problem finding someone I click with even without the cultural barriers. I wish you luck upon luck.

*hugs*

So I was telling Jilli tonight, as we ate dinner at India Bistro, I saw a girl (Indian) while I was having lunch the other day at Taste of India (err, it may be clear by now that I like Indian food). She was cute (tall, which I don't know if that's a dealbreaker, but that's not the point), and geeking in a cool way about math stuff. So of course, I thought, "Hey! I wonder if she's Gujarati? I wonder if she's single! I don't even know her, but she should date Sunil ( ... )

In all honesty, I'd rather you people throw women in my direction than my parents. You'd be much more likely to find someone I'd like. Though perhaps good call on the total stranger part.

But I would totally prefer the movies-meet-cute-wacky-misunderstandings route. Whee.

You know Nellie McKay? 'Kay, we are getting married.
Only I can't dance.

Interesting post Sunil. I have two Indian students who I have worked with over the years - pro and amateur shows, that have afforded me interesting glimpses into the culture from time to time. They have both traveled to India several times.

Anyway, at least you have a whole slew of internet friends who will babble on about all your wonderful attributes, aid in filming your dating audition (ala Legally Blonde) and help in any way on "The Marriage Quest". (not to be confused with Galaxy Quest).
