Comments on: Desi Dose: Adhir Kalyan Gets Paid and Laid - Nip, Tuck, and More http://www.desimanifesto.com/desi-dose-adhir-kalyan-paid-laid-nip-tuck/2008-05-19 A humorous and edgy desi blog, diary, message board, and forum for stories, fiction, editorials, op eds, and articles by and for Indian men born in the US, India, and abroad.

I mean, it's a no brainer really, what with India being the original Mother Land of all this stuff. And what with desi women already being exotified as hot kama sutra yoginis..... big bucks could be made! There is so much money to be made and so many yonis (and lingams) to be laid in this field. Yeah, we have Deepak Chopra, but he's just one, and he's male. Plus he's old... like the rest of them.  It would be nice to see some younger and browner blood.  I'm getting sick of all the middle-aged balding men who have been at the helm of New Age for decades.  As a woman I would like to see some young, hot, manly yet sensitive guy up on that podium speaking.  And I'm sure all the men in the culture would love to see some young, hot desi new-age goddesses up there talking about awakening to the God/Goddess within and "opening up" to sacred sexuality. Yep, it's a no brainer.  Time to reclaim and repackage our heritage! Why aren’t more desis capitalizing on the huge yoga/new-age/metaphysical market out here in USA?
