My Last Name Is Patel
Because that’s the name my daddy gave me.
According to Wikipedia, this last name of mine means “village chief” or “headman”. It is derived from Patlikh, which back in the Indian day was the name used for record keepers hired by rulers to keep track of farmland.
That’s the ancient meaning of my last name. The modern meaning and affiliations this last name of...

If he wasn’t describing a prepubescent girl, this would actually be romantic more than controversial. Nonetheless Nabokov is a talented writer. Who would describe one person with so much voice.
Authors are amazing in that we can get inside of their heads and see exactly how...

“All these people here are depressed and have acne.”
– -Priya Patel (me…yes I’m vain enough to quote myself on my own blog)
This is in reference to the demographic I deal with at the pharmacy I work at. All I do is pass out pills that help with depression and creams that attempt to clean up acne.
This factual outburst from myself made my...
Kids. smh.
Me: You can't play the PS3! It's a school night. I'm telling.
My Brother: So what. Go tell. The world is going to end tomorrow. I have to.
Strolling Past Elysian Fields
This past weekend I visited New Orleans for my cousin’s baby shower. First stop was at Baton Rouge and then headed on down to New Orleans.
The trip was alright I guess. The usual sociology revealed itself of course. A major display of classism in the 21st century deepening the valley between generations. Yet the mountaineers just walk on not noticing it is the valley they are treading...
Don't Prescribe Dosepaks Docs
Ugggh! I am in such a bad mood right now. Got attacked at the pharmacy again today for no reason just because I told this old man how it really was.
So this elderly Indian guy (he may have been not that elderly but I base that on his appearance. Some Indian men age quickly due to lack of exercise and overconsumption of saturated fats). Whaaa! It’s the truth.
Anyways he had three...

I want to fucking die. I think that it’s just now sunk in how ignorant and bigoted my family is. They would never accept me if they knew about who I really am.
I don’t know how to deal with this.
I’m sorry to hear that. I usually don’t like to reblog other people because I have this complex where if I reblog people, I in a way unnecessarily worship their...

Darker Faces Are A Sign of Fertility in Rhesus... →
Take that advocators of shadeism & pigmentocracy! Refer to this post.
“The researchers speculate that it is not a darker face alone that attracts a male, but how comparatively dark a familiar female’s face gets as she becomes fertile. To make that judgment, the male must already know the female.”

WatchUse Somebody - Kings Of Leon
Saw them yesterday at the Final Four Big Dance Party thingamabober. Reminiscent of Austin outdoor shows. I became a lot nostalgic.
Minus a few things.
The people were definitely different though. The crowd was pretty rowdy and a lot of crowd surfing was going on during the show. & so I developed a new pet peeve today: crowd surfing.
First of all if you are a...

WatchOne Night Stand (feat. The Ri-Ri Hitter) by Keri Hilson
Ms. Keri Hilson steals this one.
This one is off her album No Boys Allowed.
Those three words can either be dykey or naughty. Will have to check out her album art to see under what context I’m supposed to perceive this.
I couldn’t keep my eyes off her electric blue nails. I have blue ones too except mine are Sally Hansen blue....
