Kids, Curry Bear would like to take a minute and talk about Desi guys and their clothing. But don't panic - Curry Bear has not turned gay nor did his home get rampaged by the Queer Eye guys. Curry Bear would like to talk for a minute about the fashion scene amongst Desi kids. It seems that every time you see a desi guy, you can pretty much decipher what kind of person he is based on his clothes. It's a bit of prejudice we all have but more often than not, you're right in judging a person based on his clothes. Let's take a moment to analyze some Desi stereotypes in fashion.

Kids, for as long as Curry Bear can remember, video games were his gateway into tranquility. There is nothing like the satisfaction of beating a game after killing thousands of bad guys, emptying a million rounds of ammo, shooting up some shroooms and in the process saving a damsel in distress. Game developers have constantly come up with new ideas and story lines for games. However, not many have focused on Indian mythology. It's an untapped market - like Lebanese girls. There's like at least 10 games based on Greek and Roman mythology. But what about us brownies? The only brown people I've ever seen in video games are Apu in The Simpsons game, the Egyptians & Persians in Age of Empires and Mohinder Suresh in the upcoming Heroes game.

Man, it seems that everywhere I go, Unclejis appear out of nowhere. This would be normal if I were at Oak Tree Road in Iselin shopping for bhendi, cause bhendi is awesome when you eat it with chapati. But lately, I've observed Unclejis in places where I least expect them.

It's been a long time since Curry Bear has seen a Bollywood movie. Well, it's been a long time since Curry Bear has seen a good Bollywood movie. This past weekend, Curry Bear saw Heyy Babyy. I guess you could say Curry Bear was in the theater hollerin' Heyy Babyy...yeah that was lame, I won't do it again. Heyy Babyy stars Akshay Kumar, Ritesh Deshmukh, Feroz Fardeen Khan and Vidya Balan. Many of you might think that this is another Bollywood movie stealing plot ideas from the Hollywood movie Three Men And A Baby. But that's where you're wrong! The only thing similar between Heyy Babyy and Three Men A Baby is that Heyy Babyy's plot has three men and a baby.

Here's the basic storyline: Akshay Kumar [Aroush], Ritesh Deshmukh [Tanmay] and FerozFardeen Khan [Ali] are bachelors living in Australia and banging chicks left and right. But their life comes to a halt when they wake up one day and find a baby at their doorstep. I always wondered where babies came from. This is all I should say for the plot, because there is a lot more to this movie that you have to watch. Once the baby comes into their lives (which is within the first 20 minutes), their life is in disarray and the jokes keep coming. Oh, and Vidya Balan's in this movie too. She's soooo prettttttyyyyyy.....

Curry Bear got an advance screening of the show "Aliens in America". Why? Is it because we are one of the most influential Desi Blogs on the east coast or because I once slept with one of the casting directors? Well the answer is Yes. Curry Bear must admit he was very skeptical about this show. After reading about it on IMDB, and reading many angry posts by Muslims, I thought this show was going to be lame. However I was wrong. This is actually a very good show. It maybe a little on the teeny side, meaning the show is more targeted towards a younger audience. Since it's on the CW network, it isn't a surprise that they want to market towards the same audience that watches Smallville, One Tree Hill, and Supernatural. This might be the best new show on the CW.

This show is about a Pakistani foreign exchange student from Islamabad named Raja Musharaff. He comes to America to a family with a son who has trouble fitting in at school. The son finds himself relating to Raja, who not only is having trouble fitting in at school but in the country as well. Even though many Muslim people commented on this show as being racist, I believe once they actually watch this show they will realize that it is actually the opposite. In fact they should be happy they are not being portrayed as terrorist for once.

The show portrays most Americans as being ignorant to Raja's Desi culture and even accusing "his people" of knocking down the towers. Sadly I am not surprised that quite a few Americans actually believe that. I once saw a clip where a guy thought 9/11 took place in October, and thought Hindus were the ones who knocked down the towers.
