Whew. Have been reading for ages. I side with razib and Andrea and others on this one...if I added a comment, I know it would just be emotional vomit. Now I'm paranoid...I'm going back to university in a couple weeks...will there be someone there who is offended by my obviously-Indian themed bed things, my favourite jewelry (bangles), even some of my clothes? Do I just have some sort of disgusting, terrible India fetish, or do I fall on the "safe" side of someone who loves the music and dance and Bollycrack, not to mention the design of traditional clothes. I just...those things are "me". They're what seems beautiful to me. The only Indian blood I have is tiny to none (I might have a bit from my Maltese ancestor, and I guess others) - but honestly what does that have to do with anything? I can't articulate anything right now. Or ever it seems. :p
