is rather a strong word but I have often found that some people just love to interoggate me on matters that are of no concern to them.<\/p>\n

– Are you a rich Indian? According to the interoggator there are two types of Indians – one loaded and another with nothing<\/p>\n

– Do you plan to go back to India? (Honestly I have no answers for this one. I wish I knew what I wanted)<\/p>\n

– Do you plan to have more kids? When? (this is getting stale – too many people asking me the same question over and over)<\/p>\n

– Why do you wear Indian outfits and not a tee shirt like most people? (duh!)<\/p>\n

– You lived in America – why did you not marry a white skinned guy? R was not around when I had this talk with a cab driver<\/p>\n

– How much do you pay for rent? (Again a very common question – cab drivers, co-workers and everyone else in between have asked us this question)<\/p>\n

– Are you young enough to wait to have more kids? (they have a nice way of asking your age)<\/p>\n
