Generation 1.5

Thoughts from the wedge generation

I have a theory that between the first generation of Desi immigrants and their American-born children, there is a gray area, a twilight zone, inhabited by Generation One Point Five.This wedge or bridge generation is composed of individuals who themselves migrated to the West, but came so young that they don't quite count as first generation immigrants, and yet don't fit into the ABCD mold either.

As a self-declared member of Generation One Point Five, I share with you my musings on some of the trials, tribulations and joys of inhabiting the twilight zone of Desi-ness in the United States.

I welcome a dynamic dialogue with listeners, so please do share your thoughts and comments on my show--send your mails to generation1.5@gmail.com.
