Kids, Curry Bear would like to take a minute and talk about Desi guys and their clothing. But don't panic - Curry Bear has not turned gay nor did his home get rampaged by the Queer Eye guys. Curry Bear would like to talk for a minute about the fashion scene amongst Desi kids. It seems that every time you see a desi guy, you can pretty much decipher what kind of person he is based on his clothes. It's a bit of prejudice we all have but more often than not, you're right in judging a person... Read Full Story

Kids, for as long as Curry Bear can remember, video games were his gateway into tranquility. There is nothing like the satisfaction of beating a game after killing thousands of bad guys, emptying a million rounds of ammo, shooting up some shroooms and in the process saving a damsel in distress. Game developers have constantly come up with new ideas and story lines for games. However, not many have focused on Indian mythology. It's an untapped market - like Lebanese girls. There's like at...

Man, it seems that everywhere I go, Unclejis appear out of nowhere. This would be normal if I were at Oak Tree Road in Iselin shopping for bhendi, cause bhendi is awesome when you eat it with chapati. But lately, I've observed Unclejis in places where I least expect them. It all started a couple years ago when Unclejis started appearing at desi parties. At that time, I said to myself "Hey, maybe they didn't know that this party is for a much younger crowd." But after that incident... Read Full Story

Curry Bear got an advance screening of the show "Aliens in America". Why? Is it because we are one of the most influential Desi Blogs on the east coast or because I once slept with one of the casting directors? Well the answer is Yes. Curry Bear must admit he was very skeptical about this show. After reading about it on IMDB, and reading many angry posts by Muslims, I thought this show was going to be lame. However I was wrong. This is actually a very good show. It maybe a little on the teeny... Read Full Story

Curry Bear has a friend who recently visited Pakistan. Upon going to his motherland, he came across a few problems including diarrhea, blackouts, and BBS (black booger syndrome). However, none of those problems could amount to the millions of women throwing themselves at this young bachelor. Now if your parents are strict in culture, sooner or later they are going to take you out to look at girls that will make you a good wifey. You will sit at the girl's house along with her family and stare... Read Full Story

Kal Penn's Kumar Patel is perhaps the most popular portrayal of Desi youth in a major motion picture (he played a foreign student in the National Lampoon movies, not an AB Desi). Yes the movie was bad awful in a lot of places, but we do remember Freakshow's [Swedish] wife? Anyway, Harold & Kumar are both coming back next year for part deux. The first sneak preview is attached to Superbad, which is another comedy that we strongly recommend. Here's the synopsis we found on movie's Wiki... Read Full Story

It's the biggest movie in Pakistan since Titanic, and it doesn't involve a naked Kate Winslet.

The CS Monitor had this to say about the movie: Why would I drive 4-1/2 hours to see a Pakistani movie? Well, for starters, the only movie theater in Islamabad, Pakistan's... Read Full Story
