She had one big advantage that others did not and dont have.  That stumps everything else and everyone else. Ask Colin Powell.

>>>Why is media going gaga over this woman's fiftieth birthday?

Did she find a cure for cancer or what?

She did not study theoretical physics at Princeton. She majored in African American studies.

If she can influence a few African American women attend college than getting pregnant, all power to her. Rest of your post about science & eng. is nothing but a typical Asian mindset.

The same case with my Jewish neighbor. Her daughter was also pregnant out of wedlock. She has few years of college. She is doing very well in terms of job.

The women in ghetto do not have that kind of a support system.  They cannot afford to get pregnant.

HA,

My Jewish neighbor also told me that was a virgin till the age of 26. Only after her first tryst, she realized how much she had missed.

>>>Got pg the first time around, eh? Would it have killed the guy to use protection? Aside from that, I am puzzled when people divulge these things. I never know what to say.

TMI leaves me quite uncomfortable too but some people seem to thrive on it and i wonder if i am just too old fashioned.

May be they fall for the glow around Rishi's head, sorta hypnotized by it and start revealing secrets to him.

>>> CD,

In a way you are right. Whether in India or anywhere, people have told me all kinds of stuff which goes on in their personal lives.

Sometimes even strangers reveal some stuff about their lives within 30 minutes of meeting me.

I still remember an Iyengar fellow telling me stuff which is right out of sex novels. His name was Rangagrajan. He was in his late twenties. He told me when he was 17 and growing up in Sri Rangam, he had another Iyengar family as neighbors.  There was a 55 year old Maami who had a son, a medical rep who was in his thirties. He was travelling all over the state. One day, when her son was away,  the Maami called Ranga and asked him to massage her legs because she was having pain there.  Ranga obliged. Then he says after a few minutes, she simply pulled her saree up all the way. I do not have to tell you what happened next.
