Sewing a relationship with the Sultanate One might find him quoting Mahatma Gandhi’s words of wisdom with ease... his trainees learn not just about the tricks of the trade, but about life itself, from him... he works with clockwork precision but doesn’t look at the clock. We’re talking about, well, a tailor. Indian American sworn in to Massachussetts advisory board Boston: Ramesh Advani, selectman from Norfolk, Mass. was sworn in as the co-chair of the Asian American Commission by Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Migration to Gulf at record high Mumbai: Last month, 2,500 workers rioted at the construction site of what will be the world’s largest building in Dubai, protesting against unpaid wages and miserable living conditions. The incident, widely covered in the international media as the grime behind Dubai’s new glitz, brought attention to Asian migrant workers in the Middle East. With Bihar & UP, MOIA sets out to trace PIO roots New Delhi: Bhojpur in Bihar and Ballia in Uttar Pradesh have been selected by the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs for one of its most ambitious projects: tracing the roots of PIOs or People of Indian Origin. The Ministry has convened a meeting on April 5 of the nodal agencies, Bihar Tourism Development Corporation and Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department, to ensure that the project takes off. Knock, Knock. It's Indian Comfort Food. It's a few minutes after 1 p.m. on a Friday, and Raj Desai is ready for lunch and waiting for a knock on his door. A man he knows as Kishan soon enters his office with a clear plastic container that holds his lunch: fish fry, rajma masala (curried kidney beans), yogurt, rotis and rice. Out of differences come debate and compromise: Ash Patel Ash Patel, the new secretary of the Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA), is known for cutting to the chase on any issue, but with a view to negotiating a compromise rather than encouraging confrontation. Bahl grateful for breaks in growing music career RIDGEFIELD (Connecticut, USA): If Ankush Kumar Bahl believed in omens, he would have reconsidered his career after his first concert as conductor in 2000. SPI uses govt rep to get mid-sized business Reena Batra's SPI cut its teeth earning government IT contracts, but now the company is hoping to put this experience to work helping small and mid-sized firms take advantage of outsourcing to India. Gulati takes charge of US soccer Arnold Schwarzenegger, from Austria, governs California. And as of this week, Sunil Gulati, born in India, presides over the United States Soccer Federation. My Two Lives I have lived in the United States for almost 37 years and anticipate growing old in this country. Therefore, with the exception of my first two years in London, "Indian-American" has been a constant way to describe me. Less constant is my relationship to the term. When I was growing up in Rhode Island in the 1970s I felt neither Indian nor American. The H4 virus Having gone to Virginia with her husband (an H1B visa-holder) on a dependant H4 visa, Sindhu’s American dream soon began to sour. She did little except cook, clean and later, look after her daughter. Her weekends were equally tedious. Tambourine Man Trains running between Kolkata and north Bengal, after sauntering out of the metropolis, pick up speed around what can be broadly outlined as Baul territory: Bolpur, Santiniketan, Sainthia, Burdwan and Rampurhat. It is from around this region that Bauls - Bengal’s own hippies, its wandering minstrels - embark on the trains, sing their songs that philosophise about life and death and earn alms from passengers. Here is a helping hand from the US Indian football does not need help. It needs ’serious help’. Last year the A.I.F.F. seemed serious about having foreigners of Indian origin (NRIs) take up citizenship and build a strong national team.
