Curious why most (not all) Desi people move to Desi suburbs and don’t live in the city or suburbs close to the city but not desi? My partner and I love being in the city but literally know 2 other couples who live close by. Everyone else is in desi suburbs. I ask because a couple years down the line, we plan to buy a house and want to understand the thought process behind some of the decisions.
We are not very desi but do miss festival celebrations. Don’t miss the desi judgements.

What do y’all have planned for thanksgiving?
