These events, if written down, would make great love letters to our partners, whomever they may be.

Well, here is the next best thing. Here are the Love Letters I would have written to my wife during our most important moments of our relationship and what led up to them.

In reality, if I were to write about every moment in our relationship, this book would be never-ending as there are many special times we have had in our lives.

Stereotypes exist is our society amongst all groups. Most of them do exist for a reason and hold much truth. Some are certainly unfair, untrue or blown out of proportion. As a person of East Indian descent, I have come head on with stereotypes my entire life. The biggest one being the character portrayed by Apu from the Simpsons. Apu is a typical East Indian, who immigrated to the United States and now owns his own convenience store. He also speaks with a typical Indian Accent. Anyone who has walked into enough convenience stores around the country knows that a large number of them are run by people of Indian Descent. There is nothing wrong with noticing that. However, even though it seems to be a common stereotype, some people have a problem with it. One of them being Hari Kondabolu, who expresses his frustrations with the Character in his documentary, “The Problem With Apu”.
In “I Love You, Apu”, I challenge what Hari says and provide a rebuttal to what he discusses in his Documentary. I give my own opinion as to why I believe that Apu is not only an accurate stereotype, but a positive one as well. There needs to be a differing viewpoint given by someone with a similar background and I am here to do that with this very book. You may agree with me or with Hari. What matters most is that we share our opinions and have open dialogue. While Hari challenges the stereotype, I am here to defend it. Enjoy the different viewpoints.
