Dear ABCDlady Readers:
Due to the smashing success of our photo shoot,
we are soon going to hold another one in the DC area! Click here
for more details. I am very proud to bring you the articles of this
issue. First, we highlight the journey of Colonel Sanjivani C. Bakare
M.D., a South
Asian woman representing us in the U.S. Army. The Army only
has a 3.4 percent Asian population and Bakare stands out for more
than just her identity.
Next, we discuss Bollywood,
India’s booming movie industry, and its evolution from fantasy
to reality. We are introduced to a program created in Texas that
helps newly
arrived immigrant parents adjust to American culture and schools.
Schools in other states need to follow suit! Continuing with the
parenting theme, we also discuss the effect of fighting
on front of your children.
Our Love
and Sex expert answers questions on being blown off and more,
while an ABCD ponders whether Desi men are chivalrous
or chauvinistic. This sweltering August,our Desi Diva dishes
out advice on revamping
your summer wardrobe. We also show you how
to set boundaries with your loved ones to illustrate how you
want to be treated.
