Sit back, relax, and let the curry powder smell take you away...

1. Setting off their first firework at the tender age of 7

And then running for dear life as soon as it lights

2. The constant comparison between any other Indian child who BREATHES

Giphy

You're right mom. I should have won the Spelling Bee. I'm sorry you were left with such a miserable child.

3. Having to pretend you like an Aunty’s food while your parents break down your back

Giphy

Hey, she's nice. Her food... not so much.

4. Having to pretend to remember that Aunty because she expects to even though you last spoke when you were 3

Giphy

Yeah, sure I remember you. Now please stop pinching my cheeks.

5. Relatives actually looking to set you up with other “Good Indian” potential spouses, because what is the purpose of life without marriage and medicine?

Giphy

Hard. Pass. But I will help myself to more food.

6. Hearing the crazy stories of your parents tying fireworks to their cow’s tails

Giphy

LOOK INTO ITS EYES. IT DOES NOT DESERVE THIS FATE.

7. Bringing your friend of another race over and being inquired about the ‘curry smell’

Giphy

And the smell following you into you're clothes, bags, and everything in between.

8. Dreading the day you had to bring grades home.

Giphy

None of your white friends could relate

9. Your parents swearing that vapor rub will fix your rash,fever, and stress

Giphy

They put that on everything

10. Iconic brown people parties, that blows the American Red Cup party way out of the water

Giphy

First drink, spin the bottle, we invented the party game, son

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
