Dark Girls: Preview.
I think I may have watched this trailer over 5 times at the very least. Who knows what will happen once the actual documentary is released toward the end of this year.
Those who know me, also know how passionate I am toward this issue of ‘colorism’ and its prevalence in South Asian and South Asian American communities. The preview above is an incredibly...

Mark Zuckerberg meets his doppelganger
cnnmoneytech:
The rumors were true! Mark Zuckerberg made a cameo on SNL last night to kick off Jesse Eisenberg’s hosting stint — supposedly the first time Facebook’s founder has met the actor who just scored an Oscar nomination for playing him. And yes, it’s every bit as awkward as you’d expect. But on the up side: Zuck remembered to blink!
Skip to the 2:30 mark to get to the relevant bit....
Muslim population in the U.S. will double by 2030,... →
In the United States, the population projections show the number of Muslims more than doubling over the next two decades, rising from 2.6 million in 2010 to 6.2 million in 2030, in large part because of immigration and higher-than-average fertility among Muslims.
The Muslim share of the U.S. population (adults and children) is projected to grow from 0.8% in 2010 to 1.7% in 2030, making...

In honor (?) of the 127 mafioso swept up in a huge FBI sting this week, find out what you’d be called if you were a made man. I’m Twenty Eyes (wtf?), which is at least better than Boyfriend getting “Frankenberry.” Get your own at the link above! - Julianne

The Ten Most Expensive Gifts President Obama Was... →
The King Saudi Arabia was definitely the most generous. He gave the president some random things worth $34,000, but none of them sound very cool.
But the king does get some points for giving the First Lady a string of pearls in addition to a diamond/ruby jewelry set totaling $150K. He also gave Sasha and Malia diamonds totaling more than $7,000.
And he didn’t forget White House staff:...
Rule 1: Just Call Her →
go:
Last week we asked how you ask someone on a date in 2011. Many of you were okay with texts or Facebook messages; some of you said you’d want someone to walk right up to you in person and ask.
This fellow — justcallher — has an interesting take. He even includes an infographic for your edification.

CNNMoney Tech Tumblr: Macworld Expo on clearance →
cnnmoneytech:
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Once a must-visit show for the Apple-loving minions, the Macworld Expo is now turning to Groupon to drum up attendance for its upcoming 2011 show.
It’s been a choppy transition for the show since Apple itself stopped participating after the 2009 event. How soon we…

Hello, Internet friends!
I’ve been on a tumblr hiatus for the last year and a half, but one of my 2011 resolutions was to rejoin my favorite Web community!
I’ll continue to share/reblog whatever random and interesting tidbits I come across, but I’ll also be engaging in a bit of shameless self-promotion.
Here goes nothing!

THINGS LOOK A LITTLE BRIGHTER:
Dad’s safe and sound and just needs to ice throughout today.
The restaurant for tonight’s dinner called and gave us a scare but Chotu Master (me) came to the rescue and we’re all set!
Grad presents for the girls arrived and are really pretty :)

WHY IT ALREADY SOUNDS LIKE A HORRIBLE IDEA
My dad tripped in the hotel lobby this morning and is now in the hospital just to make sure there aren’t any broken bones—hopefully it’s just a sprained ankle or something
Saba’s little brother missed his flight this morning
There’s a 60% chance of rain today

Sanitary napkins
Hibah: Hareem, did you do your Do Good (application) today?
Hareem: Yeah, I didn't use paper.
Aamir: You didn't use tampons or pads today?
(Awkward silence)
Aamir: I always see those signs for sanitary napkins in the bathrooms on planes and I'm like, "That's exactly what I need!" But then I realize what it really is. Dammit.
Shiraaz: Do you end up using it?
Aamir: I tried to use a pad once to blow my nose. It's an awesome absorber.
