		<title>Why do people gossip?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why do people gossip? I never really came up with an answer to that but I&#8217;ve been thinking about this lately. I think gossiping is a way to make people feel better about themselves. This generally occurs when as an individual, you yourself are feeling inadequate about something. Transfer this feeling into a cultural setting [...]

		<title>Fond memories of mehndi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Applying mehndi when I was little was a really fun event.  When I was growing up, mehndi cones were not readily available in Toronto, so every Eid our mom would mix the mehndi and apply to our awaiting hands with a toothpick.  I bet some of you remember that very well!

		<title>Amitabh Bachchan: Superstar or Luck by Chance?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning I was thinking about Amitabh Bachchan. I know that is a bit weird, but the thought was triggered because I was listening to the song &#8220;Cheeni Kum&#8221; and it reminded me of this icon of Bollywood. Quite frankly, I didn&#8217;t like Amitabh&#8217;s movies from the 80&#8217;s. Such stupid movies, bad acting, and overall [...]

		<title>Free Will &amp; Shame in Desi Marriage: The Contradictory Roller Coaster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was at a dinner party last night, and engaged in some interesting topics that were being discussed. I think that our generation is still a bit scared to talk about desi issues that bother them pertaining to marriage, religion, culture&#8230;etc. The concept of &#8217;shame&#8217; still puts fear into people, despite the fact that they [...]

		<title>Discipline or Child Abuse?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do desi parents discipline their children with a few too many smacks? A slightly touchy subject, but one that needs to be talked about. Is it common to be physically disciplined for &#8216;bad&#8217; behaviour? A slap here, a shoe there, that leather belt with the buckle&#8230;various degrees of what we can be classified as discipline [...]

		<title>Total Dud: Chandni Chowk to China</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What a waste of my time. During the entire film, I kept thinking when is this going to get interesting? Chandni Chowk to China is a huge disappointment. Hopes were riding high on khiladi number one Akshay Kumar, but unfortunately he was not able to keep the &#8216;hit film&#8217; momentum going with Chandni Chowk to [...]

		<title>Movie Review: Heaven on Earth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought I would write a review for DesiGupShup on a very disturbing, yet reflective movie that was released a few months back. Heaven on Earth is a film by Deepa Mehta and it deals with arranged marriages and the experience of desi immigrants in Canada. Issues of control, gender roles, and violence are also [...]

		<title>Poverty &amp; Homelessness in Toronto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I go to work in downtown Toronto, I often come across homeless people who are sleeping on the street.  I wonder about what is happening to our society, indeed what is happening to us, when we can simply walk past a person who has no home and no place to go, without even [...]
