Re: A visit to the beach.
Lekin burger nahi choRa 
Bhookay desi log 
That reminded me of an incident sorry its off topic but my friend went with her dad in a resturant it was an arab resturant but the thing they didn’t know that they offer belly dancing on weekends.So when they ordered the food and it was about to come the dancer came and started dancing and she said "I wanted to leave but the food was on table and I had never seen my food so carefully in life than than moment.: Her dad was little bit maulana type and bechari ki kaya halat hoii ho gi she is still embarrased.
it was grilled chicken burger with mayonnaise, mustard and pickles in it 
how could i leave that.

Re: A visit to the beach.
There are no beaches where I am these days…
well, there is one artificially created 
PS: but me being me did not go to the sea beaches much when I was in NY let alone visiting some artificial beach created off a river/lake 
naa that is impossible for a punjabi to do so:snooty:
I think some Desi families can go a little overboard when they come to the states. Here, it is acceptable to wear much less clothing, like tank tops and bikinis on the beach. That doesnt mean that the women who dress like this are "loose" kwim? I'll never forget one time I had a desi family visiting me during hot weather. We were on like in a store and the 4 year old boy started yelling "LOOOK Ami!! THAT LADY IS NAKED!! SHOOT her!!!!!!!" O.M.G. the lady was just wearing a tank top and was like what the HECK
Anyway. Go. Enjoy the scenery. And the children are going to be into the sun, sea and sand. they could care less about the bikini clad women....unless of course, its made a huge deal of by the adults.
Desis back home now have accepted this as a fact that in West wearing less clothes is not a sign of lose character. That is a non issue. But due to Eastern family values they feel embarrassed to go to those places as a family where there will be scantily clothed men or women.
Desi singles , even married men or women will be less embarrassed at those places if their family is not with them.

Re: A visit to the beach.

Re: A visit to the beach.
k, this may sound a bit 'utopian' but when we go as a family/cousins/friends we have SOOO much fun, that there's not much else to look around for. And ofcourse if the boys and their gazes do wander ...eh... who cares...its their burden to bear (I agree with Mama of 3 here). Although if someone wants to poondi, they can even do so without the beach being in question. Every place has hot curry, its all how one's mind navigate around and where the direction needle of it is pointing :)
:salam:
The best beach to be at.

^Oh man, I miss Middle East!
However, I love beaches despite the fact that I wear a hijab. I go very often, sometimes twice in a week and mostly to the ones in NY, CA or the Carribean, depending on where I am at the moment.
It might be a little uncomfortable for some people being with their dad or brothers, but who goes to beaches with them all the time? Go with your friends, and if you're uncomfortable still, then go at a time when there won't be a lot of people around, may be weekdays instead of weekends, or at odd time. One of my best birthday parties was a surprise one at a NY beach actually!
Hey those men who are living in West when you go to the beach , how do you save your eyes from wandering ? Since the time I have become a born again Muslim I have not visited a beach, I would love to though. (Warning to TLK , no cheezy remark :ASA: ) There can be million and one reasons to go to the beach. Women do you have any reservations about you going to beach with your men , where bikini clad women are all around your men ?
i dont go with dad to beach, but now with my hubby, SIL and brothers, we do go alot. but we try to find family beach or stay where there arent many people around.
one of my brother is mulana type and he tries his best to keep us away from main crowd and we used to have fights over it.
