You are very brave to link your blog to Facebook, etc. I refuse to do that! I don't tell anyone about my blog, particularly friends and family, because I too like writing freely without them all reading it and knowing my thoughts. I know the day is fast approaching when I won't be able to keep hiding though.sharellhttp://www.whiteindianhousewife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3960293404576749034.post-46345445589924686002010-05-09T11:33:29.200-04:002010-05-09T11:33:29.200-04:00Feel free to email me, Vignesh, I love to discuss ...Feel free to email me, Vignesh, I love to discuss religion!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06422818392827396254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3960293404576749034.post-62354642275213302842010-05-05T14:52:40.503-04:002010-05-05T14:52:40.503-04:00Nice blog...Would like to discuss about religion w...Nice blog...Would like to discuss about religion with you sometime...<br />As for "pet names", I have seen them to be common in South India.Dunno about the North though.My dad used to call me 'Goldie', much to my embarrassment during my teens(I'm male). I dunno what changed, but he started calling me the way my mom calls me -Thambi- literally means 'Younger brother' in Tamil.I don't have any siblings.I wonder why she calls me that... It so happened that once when she came to the train station to send me off, my fellow passenger asked me if she was my sister :) Can't blame him though, cuz my parents looked very young despite having a 22 yr old son...Vigneshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3960293404576749034.post-22266307315133900362010-05-02T16:02:46.266-04:002010-05-02T16:02:46.266-04:00Hmmm...not sure about that one.
