Rachna who was married a year ago invited some friends over for dinner.

So, I met some people for the first time, who came to a party of sorts at my place. I was wearing a suit (which, by the way, was a simple cotton, but very nice). As I opened the door for these (new) people, they took one look at me- and after that, all of them addressed me in shudh hindi.

They did not even ask me if I was studying here (everybody in the party was/is in various stages of their Ph.D., and so am I) but assumed that I was just an English-challenged housewife who’s main goal in life is to cook and clean for all the other Ph.D.’s!!!

Although the post is a bit old, I am sure a lot of people will identify with it
