You hear that Akshay? She’s talkin’ to YOU LOL!
I don’t want to brag and gloat and say that our blog had anything to do in helping push Mindy’s new Rom/com-esque show on FOX called “The Mindy Project” ….(Here’s the link to a post that I posted back in January I CALLED IT BISHES… just saying).
OKAY fine, we had nothing to do with it… We had like maybe 5 people TOTAL who viewed that post… it’s her book sales (and if you haven’t read, what the hell?! You need to do it. And yes, I’m shamelessly plugging all Mindy K. products.. I don’t care.) and amazing own talent that brought her to this point. But whatever, I like to think that our ZEN VIBES somehow reached the craniums of the big wigs over at FOX and made them realize how amazingly talented, beautiful and funny Mindy is, and that she HELLA deserves a rom-com… Just let me relish in this possibility for two seconds…

An Indian Parent’s thought process.
Dear Shia Labeouf,
I present to you… your Indian twin brother:
Paras Arora—A 16 year old actor on the show Veer Shivaji. It’s on an Indian satellite channel called Aapka Colors. This dude looks a lot like you, he even sounds like you.. I’m serious. Come on! It looks like someone colored you with a brown crayon (something my friend (who’s Indian) said when he saw these two pictures side by side).
Hollywood/Bollywood… two worlds not that far apart ey?
Shit white guys say to brown guys
For god’s sake at least bleach your mustaches LADIES. Oh yeah, and tell your representatives to vote NO on SOPA and PIPA!
shit white girls say to brown girls… jai ho.
I knew this was going to happen… it was only a matter of time.

Generally speaking, I’m going to say no. Coming out of the closet is fairly taboo in the Indian community, as Russell Peters comically points out:
The silver lining is that since you’re dating an Indian guy and not a white guy that’s one less thing for your parents to complain about.
I just finished reading Mindy Kaling’s book two days ago and I laughed, I cried, and I got really hungry. Look. This girl is fabulous. She’s smart, works hard, and her life has been freaking crazy.
I don’t usually do book plugs or plugs in general—I don’t even like the word plug. It sounds too much like slug or bug or something I say when I have a cold. Seriously, how did the advertising world adapt such a heinous word into their street lingo. The point is, if you are an Indian and you’re venturing into the world and are determined not to become a lawyer, doctor or engineer, then this is a must read. Actually, I don’t care. Even if you caved to your parents threats and have now found yourself sitting in a law school library highlighting verbose archaic language while munching on a cheese stick—read this book. It’s not like Harry Potter or anything so don’t expect like 800 pages and a sorting hat.
PS: she wants to write rom-coms. I’d love to see her make one and star in it wouldn’t you?
Christmas is a heartwarming time, where togetherness, selflessness, and righting wrongs become priorities in our lives. What’s the best way to act on all that goodwill, you ask? Simple. By giving ALL of your money to big greedy corporations in exchange for useless shit that you’ll forget about by January. In honor of this fine tradition, HTDAI is proud to present its first ever Holiday Gift Guide! So decorate your mango tree, get your credit card ready, board up your doors and windows in case the debt collectors come looking, and get ready for a wild ride.
(Note: This list has been conveniently organized from cheapest to most expensive. We think of everything. You can thank us later.)
How common is this scenario: You just arrived home. You pull your laptop out of your bag, place it gently on your desk, and get ready to plug in all your external devices. You’ve got a power cord, speakers, an external monitor, a usb harddrive, and 50 other cords to jam in, but the cords are no where to be found! They’re on the floor, caught under the your chair’s legs, wrapped around your cat’s neck, and piled in a terrifying heap. You start screaming profanities at the tangled cords. Your 2 year old, Sanjay, walks in the room, innocently wondering what the commotion is about. Frustrated, you beat him to death using the now-dead laptop (you were never able to charge it). Cordies could have saved your child’s life! It neatly keeps all of your cords well within reach on your desk. Get it before something terrible happens. More Info here.

I can’t believe this shit happened at UC Davis, my school. So. Sad.
