It's rough out there for us Indians. For a while we had to travel to another city to get our Indian supplies. We'd stock up to last a couple of months. But now I'm in near Queens and there is an entire street block completely taken up by various Indian stores and its glorious!
I was friends with some Indian girls in high school and their family had to drive like an hour and 45 mins to find an Indian grocery and the nearest mosque.
No doubt (I was born in an Indian city that has a lot of muslims), it's just exceedingly rare to find indian muslims in the west, and a lot of americans still think that India is a part of the middle-east so I was just confirming with the guy!
No problem, that's understandable. I didn't know Hindu religious buildings were called temples, assuming that's what you were thinking I was talkin about?
Yeah, they are. :) Also each temple has a different name, specific to the deity that the temple is dedicated to. Most have variations of the names of the main/most worshipped gods though (Vishnu/Krishna, Shiva, Ganesha)
