I'm a Writer/Reporter for The Seattle P-I, and National Public Radio. In India, I worked as a Reporter for The Indian Express, India's second largest newspaper. I grew up in in Chandigarh, India, and lived in North Africa with many lively British, German, and Bengali friends. I've written on alcoholism, drug de-addiction and changes in society brought forth by a growing economy for national newspapers. I now love to write about the Indian diaspora. Stay tuned!

Is this Mango or Papaya?

This past weekend, I went to Whole Foods for my usual organic produce shopping. This Goth cashier greets me with a smile, picks up my mango and goes, "I can't tell, is this a Mango or a Papaya?" I told her what it was. With a smile. I've got a very superficial understanding of the Goth culture, but I wondered if they don't know what it was because they won't eat tropical fruit? You know, how the Vegans won't eat dairy or the way my kid won't eat anything savory after 8pm?
