I think my tambram daughter married an American because, having taken a pledge that all Indians are her brothers and sisters, she couldn't marry one after that.... And she IS a real Tambram...I call her the champion onion-peeler of all time. "I am happy. Should I be happy? Why am I happy? Why are others happy?" etc etc etc etc etc. Divya, thank you for the chuckle that the pledge evoked! Deepa. > > > >
