I'm at work right now. Yesterday was awesome. Not only did I meet cool people, and bond with my professor (who invited me for dinner at her house), but I also got mistaken to be a Cuban by a Cuban woman! Can you believe that? I was hoping for this, and it is true. I may not be a global citizen in my head yet, but my face sure is ready for it. Last year when I had come here, all Indians around me had a hard time guessing which part of India I'm from. I think I can pass for Bengali, Marathi, Gujrati, and everything else, except Punjabi - which is a good thing, I guess.
Back to work.

You know, most of my friends always get this question from other Indians asking if they are from so and so state...they are not always correct, but people can associate them to be from one particular state or other. But, nobody EVER asks me that question! So, the other day I asked Hacker if he hadn't known where I was from, where would he think I was from - he thought for a while and said maybe Karnataka. But I'm thinking of trying this guessing game with new folks I meet.
But yeah - mistaken for Cuban - cool!
