I was reading up on jinn recently, and created this quick quiz to test your jinn savvy:

Yes, strollers can be useful, until you move to New Delhi, where good sidewalks (and general pedestrian friendliness) is, sadly, a very low priority. Since coming to India, the stroller’s stayed in the closet, but we’ve made excellent use of our Happy Baby carrier.

Ladies Room follows the adventures of Dingo and Khanna, two young women living large and toking up in Bombay. As the show's name indicates, it takes place in a variety of bathrooms, from the series opener when they smoke a joint in a train bathroom to plotting career moves in a hotel bathrooms to accidentally drinking water laced with molly in a nightclub bathroom. Though the episodes feel too long, the dialogue is witty and sharp, peppered with frank female conversations about dating, the misogyny of the corporate world, dick pics, sex and the brave new world of social media. (Yash Raj Films touted the above trailer, which I don't think does the show justice, as the "raunchiest and most outrageous in YRF’s history.")

So, The Big Sick. I’m in the camp with the South Asian women who thought the film was funny and poignant and were excited to see a Pakistani guy as the love interest in a Hollywood rom-com, but were less than thrilled at the depiction of Pakistani women.

Most of you have probably heard of the web series Brown Girls that has now been picked up by HBO. It's set in Chicago, its two main characters are a Pakistani-American lesbian and her African-American best friend, it was a huge success, it's going to hit the mainstream soon, there are hardly any white people in it. If I wasn't so sleep deprived in this current moment I'd write more, but basically: watch it. It's great.
