Sweet Indian boyfriend is over after having taken oldest daughter to his house to eat Indian food with his dad---they had a yummy beef curry. His sister and mom get back from India on Sunday, so the menfolk have been hosts to our daughter a couple of times.
SIB took me on a tour of India on my laptop a few minutes ago---so interesting to see it through his eyes (and learned the Indian way to say Basmati rice---accent on first syllable and not middle one---but different than the pronunciation site on line---I'll do what the Indian guy says!). I could hear the longing in his voice as he pointed out spots where they lived in Kolkata (Calcutta) when he was a child. So incredibly interesting. And I like how he has a slight accent, probably because of his parents, even though they've lived in the States for about 16 years. It's all eye-opening---sort of like the expression of surprise on his face when we use Southern slang. Didn't realize how odd our phrases were until our daughter laughed and told me. We're learning.
Must go now. Have a slight throat tickle and am a bit weary-fied. Glad of a weekend. Sorry that Gary's holiday is over, but thankful that he only has tonight to be at FE this week. Time to chill.
