I doubt we'd hook up. I get embarresed tp tell my parents thatim onj RF, because it just looks clever, i dont like getting all clever in front of my mum and dad. But they probably know anyways. They dont mind when i talkto more intelligent people.

If it made any difference, I'd bring my friend Lakshmi along.

And whatever is needed to satisfy the demands of modesty of course.

I've no idea why the temple in Atlanta managed to be built here, other than there's been a growing and vibrant Indian community on the east side of town, the economy is good here and so businesses do very well.

I've been living here for over 20 years and it's been fascinating to watch the changes to this city.

I love it myself, because it means I have access to all sorts of foods that I wouldn't if I lived somewhere more homogenous. I can't find Urid flour in my old hometown, but it's all over the place here.

Should I be using "mandir" as the proper term, penguino?

[Don Penguinoini]

That would be very nice, thank you.

Great article, Booko.

Love Indian architecture.

I like the intricascy ( i spelt it wrong again) of each part of the mandir.

The carvers are amazing.
