Bangalore is truely cosmopolitan!! You will find a variety of people from all around the country here, making Bengalooru their home. With that, you will also see people falling in love across religion, caste, creed, language... Will the next gen be confused about their roots?? Hmmm.. we will have to wait this out!!
I was raised in a typical kannadiga family... All my life i have lived here and this city is my home. I knew this anglo indian boy whose surname was PEACOCK! Now what in the world would it be like if i married this guy! I love traditional sanskrit names and if i named my daughter Padmalakshmi! Then the poor kid would be called "Padmalakshmi Peacock", or worse name would be shortened to "PP". The kid would have to be taken to a shrink even before she would join preschool! There might have been several ocassions where i would be confused about the cultural differences and touched grandma peacock's feet (holy lord!) and times when i would have air kissed grandma nayak (halleluah). Times when i would have circled around the church and kneeled down in a temple! Now thats called cross wires.
Are you in a cross wire relationship?
