Not a demi-desi, but a second generation desi (very very technically first generation since I was born on the mothership, but have been here since babydom) and from an immigrant family that faced some parallel issues. My parents went through a trial and error phase and at some point decided that we were Indian-flavoured North Americans, neither completely Indian nor American. <Monkey McWearingChapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159146850159129520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-6634057206950175122010-05-25T14:17:41.426-05:002010-05-25T14:17:41.426-05:00Funny - I never actively think of my marriage as m...Funny - I never actively think of my marriage as multi-cultural, probably because my husband has blue eyes (to my brown) and light skin (to my olive). But, he didn't immigrate to the States from Eastern Europe until he was 18. Reading your post made me laugh, because I could suddenly see all the ways we mix cultures. More so, really, than what you described.

He was born in Tehran, but raised here. He doesn't speak a word of Farsi, isn't Muslim... but we want our daughter to appreciate her heritage. We gave her an Iranian name, we celebrate Nowruz, and we try to make Persian food frequentlyCount Mockulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912128943502704921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-11701254303250404482010-05-24T17:43:40.742-05:002010-05-24T17:43:40.742-05:00Great post!

Even if you don't normally blog about your Masala Marriage, maybe this post will be helpful to people who stumble across it who might otherwise subscribe to the idea that Indian culture is some sort of monolithic thing, and that one couple's bad (or good) experience is the rule.<br /><br />My husband is pretty typical upper-middle-class Indian in a lot of ways, but in some D.

How's that for stereotypical? :)<br /><br />I understand your desire to expose your children to aspects of their Indian culture.

Keeping an Indian kitchen means having all the staples on hand (spices, ingredients, etc.)<br /><br />And your comment about stereotypes is exactly what I was trying to sarcastically imply, which I don't think came across very well.

But I think it's just because he is a practical, (read tightwad) homebody. Can't you tell I love him?<br /><br />Since I'm fairly ignorant about such things, how does one keep an Indian kitchen?
