		<description>Informative content like you&#039;ve written here is usually rather drab and lacking in varying views.  You, on the other hand have managed to make this interesting and varied.  I share many of your  unique thoughts.</description>

		<description>Fucking Desis, I have seem it all. Myself being Indian, I am really surprised how such retro people have survived in the USA for so long. USA is all about integration atleast that is why I came to the US. But man my Desi people still dont get what USA is except for it&#039;s Dollar :(</description>

		<description>it was  nice enough article.....and ms venisha does seem well intentioned....but i personally am resilient to smiling at strangers. for ME :  a smile means i like you and &quot;i&#039;m your friend&quot; and a smile is an invitation to interact. it unnerves me when someone passes by and grins like a cheshire cat, when they clearly do not intend to interact w/ me. i avoid this situation by not making eye contact, but if eye contact occurs &amp; someoen smiles/ i will acknowledge them politely by either nodding my head at them or wishing them a good morning /evening. i see no reason to light up my face for a total stranger; that is reserved for introductions and for those i already know. an exception is when i&#039;m at a place of business and the merchant/ shop associate / purveyor / vendor whatever smiles at me : they are attempting to start a (business relationship) and welcoming me into their place of enterprise. so a smile makes sense and is called for under those circumstances. i will usually smile at such people when paying, or leaving, or completing a transaction to let them know i appreciate their hospitality. but random smiling at total strangers is inappropriate and CHEAPENS the value of a REAL smile !  in my humble opinion, and by the way : i was adopted from inda and raised in US by indian father and euro mother and i assure you neither of them went around flashing their teeth at strangers, it just isnt appropriate !!!!</description>
