jenny from the bengali block?

so random...

i was on SFGate's home page and i saw the featured personal of the day...some brunette.  her picture isn't what kidnapped my eye, her quote was;

Celebrity I resemble most

Jennifer Lopez. I am not aware of celebrities that are Asian-Indian. hmmm.  okay.  why not kristin kreuk?

nooo honey. there's a RAGING debate over on SM as to whether or not KK (who is half-dutch/half-chinese) has the right to play an indian girl in some upcoming flick...click her name to go to aforementioned comment fracas... ;)

brimful-
i thought the same thing!!! then i realised that our "j.lo" is a pragmatist who knows her limitations. ;)

I saw her on SFgate too! I even clicked on her! (And wondered what the guys at my law school would think if they found me in the atrium reading a woman's personal.)

A few years after "Mississippi Masala" came out, a guy who sat next to me on a flight said I looked like Sarita Choudhury. I told him that he only thought that b/c that's the only Indian actress he knows. (He agreed with me.) As it turns out, she's an alum of my university! WHAA? I was at an Indian restaurant in fabulous downtown Kingston, Ontario - and the properieter asked me if I was related to Ms. Choudhury. He knew her, obviously knew (more) Indian actresses. Maybe I owe airplane guy an apology.

anna you're 29??? i read that on your fotolog, someone comented that. i can't believe you're 29, you look so much younger (not to say that 29 is old) but i just never would have guessed.

Anna is my chechi (i.e. she's OLDER than me! ;) )

what deepa is gleefully trying to state is,

i. am. 30.

i stopped being 29 on january 4 of this year. so you don't have to believe that i'm 29, dearest. :)

[deepa]

...and I turned 30 not even two weeks later, so she's my chechi by the slimmest of margins.

3-0 REPRESENT!
