It's good to know they have brokered a power-sharing deal in Honduras.

Manuel Zelaya is happy. Roberto Micheletti said he had made a "significant concession."

Most importantly Hillary Clinton gave it her blessing calling it "an historic agreement."

This is becoming increasingly the West's preferred policy for dealing with...

It's probably just as well that Barack Obama's magic touch didn't work on the International Olympic Committee. The election of Obama has certainly reduced the number of globetrotting Americans who try to pass for Canadian. But he can't just touch down for five hours and seal the deal.

But...

India is in the middle of Twittergate.

Shashi Tharoor, the high flying minster of state for external affairs in India, was almost felled by Twitter.

A Twitter fan asked Tharoor if in light of the government's austerity drive he was going to now fly "cattle class" instead of business.

"Absolutely,...

Bollywood's biggest star was detained for over an hour, maybe two, over the weekend at Newark International Airport. He says it's because his name is Khan. The officials say its because his baggage didn't arrive.

India is outraged. American flags are burning. Indian minister Ambika Soni suggested all Americans coming...

Julie and Julia is my story. Except my Julia Child was Madhur Jaffrey, doyenne of Indian cooking in the West.

The other difference -- instead of a rather self-absorbed, somewhat petulant blogger, I was a clueless sheltered momma's boy immigrant loose in middle America, barely knowing how to...

When I boarded a flight at Singapore I realized the swine flu was truly serious.

All US-bound passengers were handed a little gift bag. I thought it had the usual toothbrush, tiny toothpaste and airplane socks. Instead we got 1 disposable thermometer, 2 surgical masks and 3 wipes.

Everywhere we...

When I first moved to San Francisco from India, my aunt said, "Be careful, it's full of homosexuals. And it has earthquakes."

I didn't tell her that I wanted to feel the earth move. I had watched The Times of Harvey Milk on video and knew that this was where...

A few weeks ago we were Googling for pirates. This week it's teabagging.

But the real word du jour is bottom. Bottoms are in.

When the newspapers report about the economy these days it's starting to feel a little gay said a friend. He's right. The Men Seeking Men section...

Devan Kalathat exemplified all stereotypes. Until he allegedly gunned down his entire family in Santa Clara. It seems to be an unfathomable tragedy.

He was the "good boy" software engineer that personified the brain drain from India. Jobs at Yahoo and Microsoft. A nice family in a tidy suburb in...

Here's Chris Matthews tearing into Bobby Jindal's response to President Obama's non-state-of-the-union speech.

"They had to outsource the response" says Matthews.

Interesting choice of words. Of course, Matthews clarified he meant that they had to...

On Oscar night some of us had the big dilemma. The Indians were rooting for Slumdog Millionaire. The gays were rooting for Milk. Where did that leave the gay Indians?

A tie maybe? Could that be the best of both worlds?

Failing that, most of my unscientific sample seemed to...

OK maybe this Slumdog thing has gone too far.

I really enjoyed it when I first saw it when no one knew anything about it. It was a kind of underdog. Now with 8 Oscars, it's a super duper masala hotdog and the puppy love is wearing off a...

I love the Superbowl.

It took me a couple of years in America to realize that for the few hours of the game, America stopped. The freeways were emptier. The grocery stores had short lines. The gym was as quiet as a library.

It's the perfect time to get things...

Good for Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

But I fear it's a mixed blessing for the rest of us much more run-of-the-mill South Asians. It's exciting to see someone who comes from your stock make it big. The South Asian Journalists Association forum is justifiably excited about someone "oh-so-cute and...

It seems the party is over for gays.

It was all too good to be true. A mention in Obama's acceptance speech on that heady night in Chicago. Then came the news that the gay and lesbian marching band would be in the inauguration parade. And an open lesbian was...
