Gori thoughts
Our German Shepherd/Beagle Puppy: Kajol
Yesterday Aditya and I welcomed the newest member of the family, Kajol, to our home. She’s a seven-month old bundle of happy energy, as you can see from the blur that is her tail in this picture. While her German Shepherd breeding is very clear from her coloring, the beagle is just a best guess, […]
Comments Policy
We had a recent commenter here - Akshay/Amit - who receives the distinction of being the first person who’s been banned from the site (if you missed all the action, you can see all of the non-deleted fun here). He started out amusing - and was even making some points that were somewhat on topic, […]
Indian Wedding Story: Part Four
This is Part Four of a continuing series on my Indian wedding adventure. If you’re new to Gori Girl, try checking out Part One, where the story starts.

Any Intercultural Couples Interested in Sharing their Wedding Adventures?
Hey guys - I recently came into contact with a woman in an intercultural relationship who became fed up with the lack of resources for intercultural couples trying to navigate thorny cross-cultural wedding issues.

Why is the Goat Wearing a Sweater? Six Unspectacular Quirks Meme
I was recently tagged by Blue of the blog bluelightful, bluelicious, bluelovely to complete a meme on “six unspectacular quirks.” I was a bit hesitant to do the meme, at first, ’cause I figured I’d already done the whole “personal life” update post, and, really, there’s only so many times a week I can talk […]
Change Happens: Updates From Our Cross-Cultural Household
Gori Girl (the blog) isn’t meant to be just a personal site - while I talk about my life and marriage a fair amount here, the point isn’t to just blab to the interweb about my life (not that I don’t enjoy blogs that do) , but instead to add something of value to yours. […]

An interracial couple who awoke to find a burning cross in their front yard in Elkhart are praying for peace and asking for privacy.
Maggie Williams says the cross burning took her and her […]
A Couple of Great Resources
In my internet browsing I’ve found a couple of sites that might be of interest to yah’ll.
First, of there’s a pretty active forum at Indiebride.com (which is a good resource in-and-of-itself), called Intermarriage, where people pretty much just discuss intercultural relationships. Different races, different religions, different nationalities - it looks like it pretty much all […]
Why the Gori of Gori Girl?
There’s been some talk in the comments about the word gori, which, given the blog name, is probably a term you’ll hear thrown around here from time to time. So I thought I’d explain what it means, some of the connotations it can carry, and why I chose it for the name of this blog […]
Indian Wedding Story: Part Two
Part one of this Indian wedding story can be found here.
The wedding ceremony took place in the evening, so Aditya and I were pretty free to do what we’d like the morning of the big day. His family had been planning the event all along - all we did was show up - so if […]
