The East Indian Community

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

GARV  SHI  BOLA MI  MOBAIKAR HIA

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.

Why  dont  we  speak  our  east indian  marathi  in  public  like  how  others  speak  their  native  language  proudly

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
