I totally know where you're coming from with the whole "Sikh girls aren't supposed to date". I'm so glad my parents had a love marriage and are more liberal with the whole dating scene. However, I'm only 18 and they're already talking about me getting married, it's so ridiculous. I'm glad to hear that things are going well for you two though, it's good to know that times are changing and interracial couples aren't as frowned upon as they once were, especially within Indian culture.

How early before the marriage did your wife introduce you to her family? What was it like meeting them for the first time? Do you ever feel guilty that her father left the family because of the marriage? I come from an Indian family, my mom's Sikh and my dad's Hindu, so they had familial conflicts also. I'm just curious to know other people's stories.

According to Sikh and Hindu families, nothing is worse than Muslims. I once dated a Muslim guy and my parents literally lectured me everyday saying that he's for sure going to cheat on me since their religion apparently encourages men to marry numerous women.

Hi Lyse, your career history is incredibly impressive! What advice would you give to an aspiring journalist like myself who wants to report on and write about international affairs?
