...Avoiding ethiopian coffee, Italian olive oil and Indian mangoes is a recipe for both a bland and boring diet and harmful, protectionist trade policies. There is no reason we can't eat fresh, local carrots that are seasoned with saffron from across the world. In doing so we blend cultures the way only good eating can. Susan R. Holmberg, New York City...
...every car was new. Most of all, not everyone was rich. After a pit stop at McDonald's--Khattab insisted that his first food in America be a Happy Meal--Olwan pulled up to their new home, a low-slung warren of apartments on a hardscrabble stretch of West Indian School Road in Phoenix. The $450-a-month unit picked out for them had a busted air conditioner and cockroaches. It was sweltering inside.

Shaadi CEO Vibhas Mehta says 30% of its business comes from the U.S., Europe, Australia and the Middle East. Perhaps love needs no translation after...
...anyone who has been under love's spell, these theories seem preposterous, and so they are. Nothing so primal could have been created out of thin air as a mere custom or product. To the contrary, romantic love is a human universal. In 1896 a Kwakiutl Indian in southern Alaska wrote the lament "Fire runs through my body--the pain of loving you," which could be the title of a bad power ballad today. Similar outpourings of passion can be found all over the world from those with broken hearts...
