Sister was here last night

My sister came to my house last night to have dinner with us. She stays nearby and I told her to pop over as her husband was overseas for job assignment. She's good in blogging and of course we exchanged some blogging ideas. I think some of the Malaysian blogs are really good and I'm pleased to see that some of them really project the way of Malaysian life really superbly.

We were close since young that's why she's my 'favourite' too. On certain note, she was surprised why I'd become so spiritual in nature and I told her it was because of Marie Callas and her harmoniser. She thought I was joking and I point her to this blog then realise then I could be in for a serious blogging stint about Marie Callas.

Culturally, we Indians have very rich spiritual backgrounds. However, we are the new generation of Indians and we don't have much bond to India except maybe we celebrate Deepavali (they call it Diwali there)too. Most of the time, we speak in a spluttering of Tamil, English and Malay while Hindi is their main language over there. It is just like our Chinese locals in which some couldn't even identify what are their cultural backgrounds. I think some Asians in this part of the world have really detached a lot from the land of originality. Somehow I feel that's sad but what can we do, right?
