I am afraid I probably haven't given you much insight into your Indian friends... There is a movie Namesake that has a story line that probably parallels more of what my upbringing was like = those of us that were born/raised here are well are both here and there and at the same time neither here nor there when it comes to heritage. We get to make it up as we go along.
Oh, I wasn't looking for insight. Just curious. Nosy, I guess.
It has been very interesting speaking with my co-worker and classmates. I guess what struck me most was how much change they've witnessed in their lifetimes - a lot has happened in India since the 60s. As Americans, I don't think we're able to understand how those big, societal changes affect families, children, marriages. I'll check out the movie.
