Hello everyone,
I have recently been transferred to Chennai (after 33 years in amchi mobai).
Just checking, any EI's in Chennai / Associations etc that we could catch up on?
I go to St. Thomas church here in Chennai (Santhome)
Anyways, everyone asks me where I am from. I have to actually explain that I am a Native Mumbaiite...givem me an opportunity to learn more about my ancestry.
I have been browsing through Uncle Teddy's book (from Vile Parle). whole lotta stuff.
Am enjoying learning more about us all. gives one strange homseick pangs - i can only feel how my canada based relatives miss Mumbai - now I am one of the missers so to speak.
All you EI's in Chennai mail me at my ID - and yes I will let you all know about the bottle masala.
Regards,
Neil

I want to know what our fellow members feel with regards to non-East Indians joining this site.
Dont the rules clearly mention the following:
Please note this is for members of the East Indian Community.
Anyone who requests to be a member to this site:
Explicitly accepts that he/she is an East Indian
Does not get deemed to be an East Indian, by virtue of being a member on this site.
This is purely for networking within the community and to be more recognisable to others.
So why is admin allowing non-East Indians to be members? Doesnt it defeat the purpose for this site? Personally I feel that this site should be exclusively for our East Indian Community.

Do East Indians have the information about quality (nationally & internationally recognized) educational institutions where they can study? Some of them do brilliantly in SSC (score distinction) and then faze out. This blog is to put together the names, addresses, and entrance criteria of good educational institutions where East Indians can study and excel after successfully passing SSC/HSC. It will act as a foundation to living a better life.

Most East Indians are wanting to have a resource to get Ei brides and EI Grooms. However, while most want to search and find, they do not want to be willing to put their name to say "I am looking for a groom" or "I am looking for a bride". Once we overcome this we will be able to find GREAT PARTNERS within our community itself.
In this site itself a person can write that he/sheis looking for a partner and those interested can check their profile. it is that simple.

As an east indian , i have to painfully accept the fact that we east-indians as a community are lagging behind Goans and Mangloreans in terms of education, financial status, and general upward mobilty ?
We start in the same schools , get the same oppurtunities but somewhere along the way we fall behind. This blog is not for self-humiliation but to do some soul searching and perhaps find some answers so that our children do not commit the same mistakes that we did.
Await your opinions.
regards
Sunil

I attended a conference of Christian businesspersons at Hotel Trident, Bombay on the 22nd and 23rd January 2010.The conference was organised by the ICCC and Dimensions, an association of Christian businesspersons, and there were about 400 delegates. I was disappointed to see only 3 or 4 East Indians there. Why are East Indians averse to entering the business arena? People of other communities come to Bombay and prosper but East Indians, who are the real sons of the soil, prefer to take up jobs and work for others. Why?

Peaceful protests by the East Indians against the Grabage dump met with stiif resistance from the police who resorted to lathi charge and firing tear gas, thereby injuring many people (including women), priests and nuns.
