Savere he, na?

Hey! You might not know this but... WE HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT!! Let me take a moment to highlight some of the reactions in India:

1) To celebrate, I went to Expat Market (they don't sell expats and it's actually "Khan Market" but lots of whities around) to look for other Americans but... none were to be found. Actually, my first day there was an American woman in the office for about a second and other than that, I haven't seen a single American. Expat Market was all Europeans. So I just drank my coffee and eavesdropped on

2) two fancy looking men who talked in detail about the election. Direct quote: "Well Obama didn't win Texas but that's expected due to The Redneck Factor."
Other guy: "Ah yes, The Redneck Factor."

3) News channel: "Well it's interesting that the Jews, being a big money bag group, voted for Obama."

4) News channel again: Comments of a random old man civilian: "I guess it's better for the Americans to have a black man as president over someone who's completely illiterate."

5) Went to the internet cafe behind the apartment and a middle-aged Sikh came in to speak to the owner and just said "... Obama." With his hands out and a wonderful tone of awe.

6) Some dude in my yoga class (yes, I take Yoga. At 6:30 AM in fact) is a reporter and I think he was trying to appear impressive by saying he tried to talk about me on the air but forgot my name... Maybe it's time to adopt "Parvati."


So I seem to have developed an affinity for numbered lists. Unless this is offensive I'm probably going to continue. Oh, and people here keep asking what made me switch from Obama to Hillary and it was this:
