The Oscars have always held a special place in my family. I remember catching a few glimpses of it every year, early in the morning before leaving for school, thanks to my mom.

Dec 30, 2008:"Haan ji beta..Aapki seat hai.. aao baitth jaao. Myself Dr.Saahu... I was the Chief Medical Officer in Chattisgarh, but I am now retired. My brother is a minister there, and so I am still working at the age of 65. I keep coming to my daughter's place here in New Jersey every alternate year." I was welcome with these words as I sat in an Air India flight back home to Mumbai. I

Hello Mr. Hedge!One of the many strange things that happened to me upon coming to the USA - my last name being pronounced Hedge. Isn't is easy to say - 'heh-gh-dey'. I was taken aback, almost laughing at the other person, thinking "Is it really that hard ?? !!". How does one manage to interchange the 'g' and the 'd' when it is'nt written that way? Nevertheless, they're nice enough to say 'Oh !
