As I've written more, and as other Indian American voices have grown around me, I strive harder to find experiences that are unique yet a meaningful and resonant part of the American story.

I'm encouraged because you pick up any food magazine and there's two or three recipes involving Indian spices.

Indian cinema gives you everything that western cinema doesn't. It's maseladar and spicy. If you like Indian food, I think you'll love Indian movies.

One Indian-inspired favourite of mine is mashed potato mixed with lemon juice, breadcrumbs, coriander and chilli, shaped into patties, fried and served with chutney and yoghurt.

West Indian cultural mentality and a North American life equals the perfect balance.

I often find myself unsatisfied with books 'about' Indians because they are written from the viewpoint of non-Indians.

The Indians have such strong traditions and aesthetics, and the people are beautiful, as are their goods.

I'm intrigued by traditional Indian designs. They are so beautifully handcrafted, and the designs are so intricate and beautiful. I really prefer the Indian designs.

I'm very attracted to Indians.
