I am Paul Singh

It’s time to reinstate the Punjabi Word of the Day and I need some help. Give me some suggestions on words to use as my friend Gunjan is in dire need of some Punjabi vocabulary. Case in point:

Gunjan: Sukhi called me a bas theek!!!!
Gunjan: what did she call me?
Neera: “not much, im fine”
Gunjan: how do i respond?

Need I say more?

UPDATE: Gunjan’s defense!

Gunjan: i’m not that bad
Paul:
Gunjan: i said
Gunjan: oy
Gunjan: kid duh
Gunjan: and
Gunjan: may teek whom
Gunjan: come on now!!!
Gunjan: cut me some slack
Gunjan: i’m going to give you
Gunjan: theen thump-pers
Gunjan: thup-pers
Gunjan: or something like that
Paul: Haye! Rub tho durrrrrrrr!

Nope.

Verizon, you suck. Sukhi and I have continually been overbilled and received crappy customer service from your people for far too long.

Anyhow, we switched to Cingular last night. We picked up a new RAZR and SLVR. Sweet.

Oh and bonus, now my damn bluetooth headset finally works. Screw you Verizon!

In what is becoming a common practice among companies that issue monthly bills, Verizon has begun to furnish customer payment history, good or bad, to credit reporting agencies.

I suppose this is good for those of us that need a little more history on our credit reports and such. I just worry that it’s just another thing on your credit that can be erroneously reported.

Personal tip: If you haven’t already, you should be downloading a free copy of your credit report from all 3 agencies. Check it out at AnnualCreditReport.com as soon as you can. Even if you’re not worried about any misreported things on there, I think it really helps you get in focus with your long term financial goals as well.

It’s about time a mainstream article was written about the issues that our generation has had to deal with.

Raised in America by Indian-born parents, many of today’s twentysomething “Desis,” as they call themselves, are doing more—and less—than what’s expected of them. They’re moving beyond science and engineering into fields like business, journalism, literature—even acting.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining or bitching. It’s just nice to see someone outside of our own community publicly acknowledging what we young people have known all along.

At 21, Amit Sharma has a resume that would impress most parents—just not his own.

God, that sounds so familiar.
