It's been a long time since I have blogged. A real long time. It's
just that I came across a copy of HOMGKGWAGAL. Ok, I've just finished
reading it, and that might be the reason I'm talking in acronyms. How
Opal Mehta Got Kissed Got Wild And Got A Life describes the life of
many Indian kids in America, working hard, excelling in academics, and
yeah, missing out on a life in general. The book was funny, atleast
most of the time. With all this talk of plagiarism etc, I had a lot of
expectations when I started reading the book. Not a big disappointment
over all. Opal's parents were really cool people, with a "get a life"
plan(HOWGAL) including Opal kissing a guy.. Wow, are her parents
"progressive" or what? The part where her dad starts listening to
Ludacris n co and greeting folks with "what's up dawg?" was funny. I
don't listen to Beyonce, nor did I get the stuff where the author
throws around brands ,cosmetics and high heels. But it was a good
read.
P.S: Posting by e-mail. WOW! It works.
