    What happened to your cool banner image? I loved the earlier one- btw what was the source/history behind that image?
    P.S: I think your new banner is good too.But the old one was a classic.

    Hi folks,

    I’ve been subscribed to turbanhead for so long that I can’t remember when I started reading you.

    I’m launching a group-blog written by UK/US/Canadian people of Indian origin on 16th Jan - bollywoodchutney.com

    I wanted to ask firstly if you would like to write for the front page, and alternatively, with due credit, we syndicated your feed so that posts on turbanhead appear on bollywoodchutney as well.

    Despite what the name suggests, the goal is not to only cover bollywood-related aspects.

    Hi,

    I came across your blog on Asian Affairs and thought it was a great read. I am writing to tell you about a discussion and book-signing event we are having on the evening of Tuesday, March 11, 2008 with Palani Mohan here at the Asia Society. The book, “Vanishing Giants: Elephants of Asia” is a wonderful exploration into the delicate and complex relationship between elephants and humans throughout Asia. With the Asian elephant in danger of extinction, Palani Mohan makes a visual appeal with his photos to protect and save these beautiful animals. The book is a culmination of 6 years of work by Palani, which took him to 11 countries throughout Asia, and his long experience in photojournalism is truly represented in this book.

    Mohan’s career began 20 years ago at the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper and since then he has been based in London, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and now Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He has published 3 photographic books, and has been featured in numerous renowned magazines and newspapers. His book will be available for sale and signing at the event, in addition to a photo slideshow, discussion, and audience Q&A. We hope that you can help spread the word to your readers about this program and encourage them to attend.

    Thanks for your help in spreading the word about this program. If you are interested in attending, let me know and I can provide you a pair of complimentary tickets to the event in return for your help in spreading the world.

    Hi. Great site you’ve got here… and I have to say, with Jamaicans in my family, I did not learn until recently that ‘coolie’ for an Indian West Indian (you know what I mean) was a derogatory term. …And, honestly, most Jamaicans don’t know this… but do Jamaican Indians really find it offensive? I know you know :)

    Hey Tubanhead Folks,

    I wanted to share my company called Chor Bazaar, with you guys. It is an Indie Indian Fused tshirt label but we make the stuff ourselves. We feel that these shirts give the South Asian community something to feel proud of and we don’t write stuff like “desiqueen”.

    We just launched our new shirts for 2008.

    Thanks for looking and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have?
