It irks me no end to see recent migrants to America so eager to replace all their old associations, experiences so quickly.
If you are a self-proclaimed tam-brahm used to waking up to smells of filter coffee and idli sambhar for more than two decades then don't claim to be getting into festive spirits and realising life is good when you smell freshly baked cookies five Facebook status updates later.
Living in New York for 6 months doesn't make you a New Yorker so please don't speak for the city or the people if your favourite pass time is heading to New Jersey to gorge on "desi" food.
Just admit that you are an outsider. Why let the urge to fit in overwhelm you so much that you give up on things that made you who you are to begin with?
