Crossing Cultures
I feel a bit funny posting all of my recent appearances around the web...it's a bit like being that breathless kid, eager to tell mom about her big day. "And then I went to school, and then I went to the playground, and then I went back to school, and then, and then, and then..." It is also a bit revealing....take a look around our home, now take a look at the inner-workings of our marriage. What's next? Full body shots of me prancing around in a bikini? I will keep those to myself, I promise...you have to draw the line somewhere!
I think my favorite part is the the title, with the peacock hanging out inside the 'O'...if I had an 'O' anywhere in my name, I think I would be inclined to start drawing in a peacock, which would make signing checks and official paperwork a hassle, but come on, how cool?!
Okay, that's it, no more show and tell for the rest of the week...that's a promise!

i love show & tell. you have so much great stuff going on! :) i hope you are immensely proud.
and okay, the article = amazing. thank you for sharing!
this is wonderful...also this picture...incredible!
Sometimes it's ok to toot your own horn. I loved the piece you wrote and I'm sure your husband fell in love with you just a little bit more when you reached out to his mother that way.
that was a great read, thanks so much for sharing. show & tell is ok in my book :)
I think it's wonderful that you share your articles on the blog. Please keep doing it!
With a multicultural marriage myself, I really enjoyed this last piece and could relate to many of the ups and downs.
Great work!
P.S. I'm sitting in a room with bright yellow walls and bright turquoise curtains and think your home and its vivid colors are just lovely. :)
I enjoyed your article on inter racial marriage. I just want to comment that not all Indian parents or in-laws are demanding or possessive of their sons :) I have heard too many such incidents which leads people to think most Indian MILs are like that but fortunately not! I am lucky to have a very kind, helpful and modern MIL who has done more for me than I have for here! She flew 10,000 miles from India just to help me with the baby and never asked for anything. I am very lucky I think. I am glad that you got to know your MIL a bit more and she got to see the real you who sounds kind and understanding and wants to be appreciated as we all do! You have a very interesting blog and I love your writing style.
