I relish the anonymity on this site as it allows me to share parts of my life that in most circumstances I, and those close to me, wouldn't feel comfortable sharing.
For example:
My brother is quite a private person. So I hope he understands that even though I am sharing this news about him to my readers that he still remains completely anonymous. Do any of you know who my brother is? His name? His whereabouts? Didn't think so. So to MDG's lovely brother, go easy on me! You know I couldn't keep it in any longer. You can beat me up later.
Here it goes...
This summer my brother went on an amazing bike ride around Europe while I was gallivanting around the U.S. by car. One of his stops was London, which he remained in for quite a long time, just around three weeks, which was a much longer visit than any other place he stopped by.
A snapshot of my brother's touring bike crossing into Italy, one the many countries he visited during his four month European exploration by bike.
Once he was back to the states I heard the news via my parents; my brother had a girlfriend. He met her this past year in college. She is a transfer student from London. Hmmm...the plot thickens...
That's it? You ask? So what!
Well besides my brother having a girlfriend, which is pretty big news in itself, it turns out this Londoner's family hails from none other than ... (drum roll please!) ... India! My brother is dating an Indian!
He kept the news from our family for quite some time, apparently a bit embarrassed what we all would think about it after my ordeal. I simply had to laugh at the irony of it all. The situation is a bit different from my own of course, as she was born and raised in London and therefore his experiences with her will be much different than mine with MIM.
But there you have it! The big news that might possible get me killed - or simply bruised up here and there from a sisterly/brotherly spat. It was well worth it. Perhaps he's willing to take over the running of this site now that "My Indian Love" pertains much more to him than me? 
Hi MDG, ‘Congrats’!! Although he won’t know, I wish your brother ‘All the Best’.
I recently met a girl/ lady of Indian origin, who was brought up in the UK, and well, it would not be a long stretch to say that she was more British than Indian – in her accent, views, etc.. So, like you mentioned, your brother’s experiences with her will be much different than yours with MIM 
Hey MDG,
Sorry but cant understand why was it ‘ordeal’. I thought it was you who ended it. If ending it was ordeal, then you could have very well remained in it. And if remaining in your relationship was an ordeal, then ending must have been happy. Not trying to offend you but just trying to understand the dynamics of relationships.
meaning after what he saw me struggle through by dating an Indian; the family and friend reactions, him having trouble finding work, always worried he may have to leave the country, and ultimately the struggle over our differences.
ohh….honestly, I dont think any of these are such an ordeal…. family and friends can be ignored, you could have had moved to India…..I guess the main reason was that you two wanted to be together in the US….he could have had converted to a PhD to stay forever (almost)….there were many things that could have been done, just requires thinking out of the box…..
anyways, it doesn’t sound an ordeal to me compared to what couples could undergo like: physical abuse, mind games, alcohol/drugs, other women/men, children from previous marriages/affairs, cleanliness issues, mounting debts, exes who refuse to leave, bisexuality……
sure, when compared to those things it doesn’t sound like an ordeal. but often times we just break down and get tired fighting in relationships. we weren’t married, (if we were I would continue to fight for it), so walking away provided a much needed relief. It doesn’t mean I didn’t truly love him but when a relationship becomes more work than enjoyment, it’s time for a reevaluation.
