Is there anyone out there who doesn't constantly talk sports? I find myself sitting at lunch not saying a word because it's all sports talk. Nothing against sports, I just enjoy other things.

Not really. It can be annoying. The lack of knowledge of current events is scary. I would bet 50% of the staff and seniors at my office don't know who Janet Yellen is

I don't. I also don't know anything about sports, even the rules. I'm also a man but really don't care.

I know what you mean. Unfortunately, people feel sports are the safe topic as almost everything else non-tv related leads to politics, religion, beliefs, etc.

I absolutely do NOT care about baseball, football, golf or any other sports. I don't even know the rules. I would rather have a good discussion about religion, politics or any other topic. Love good arguments. But I am European. Not many Americans are comfortable discussing US or world social issues or any other sensitive topics. I try to hang out with people who love smart discussions and keep my mouth shut when it comes to sports statistics during team lunch.

fellow Desis', how do you deal with Parents back home. I would like to care for them but without their interfering in every little detail of my life. I am gay, so I am not their ideal kid, & sense their frustration/feelings of betrayal in every conversation. But I can't stop living my life.
They get upset:
• if i don't tell them about an interview - oh you've already decided
• if I tell them about moving to a different state to be with my partner - oh you've already decided & now informing us
