Our First Post - Who We Are.....

We're a family of four, with two growing boys ages 6 and 4 :Sparky and Spunky. Both of us, Desi mom and Desi dad are originally of an East Indian origin. We were both born in India, but had moved to the US/Canada respectively in our teens. So, we like to say that we have a balance of both the Indian and Western cultures. Our young kids are our pride and joy and we do the best to provide a safe, healthy lifestyle for both. We've been experiencing a lot of challenges lately, mostly cultural , as in our kids asking us "Why do we have to eat Indian food every day?????!!!", " Mommy, why can't I eat a pig or a cow?" or the best one yet, "Why is our God an elephant???", do these sound familiar??

Although we're doing our best to sort it out, it can be quite....let's say interesting. Join us, won't you and see if you can find a little of yourself and your family in ours.
