When they trot out perjoratives against fundamentalist Christians, sometimes I remind them that I'm Hindu...
They remind me of highschool or middle school girls in cliques - the knowing smile, the secret joke unsaid, the ones who have the proper fashion attire de jeur, and went to the "in" parties on the weekend; nodding and winking in front of the hoi polloi.
The joke never was funny; the cute girls lost their looks by 25, the fashions looked really strange by next year...
I don't care if you are Hindu and Francis is an atheist.
Point is, you both are obsessed and scary.
The world changed, people changed, you willing stayed behind.
Although I am an atheist, there is something to be said about the Hindu culture, especially the Hindu Nationalists in India...
They understand language, borders and culture really well...
