“Do you come from a culture where women wear veils but your friends wear thongs? Does at least one of your parents speak English with an incomprehensible accent? Did your parents have an arranged marriage … are they cousins? Well folks, you’ve come to the right place. You are literally holding in your hands the coveted answers to every question you ever had about your insane existence – herein lies all the information you need to understand about why you’re crazy! And trust me, you are crazy! That’s right. It’s true. You can’t deny it. "-From Veils to Thongs”

“So, Cheers! Cheers to you, my friend! Here’s to the girl who can proudly cherish her ethnicity and traditions, while simultaneously embracing the great American spirit of independence and strength. Here’s to you, the girl who can navigate through sheer madness, and in the end appreciate her blessings. And here’s to you, the girl who can dance in that ancient land with as much grace as she can glide on that thin piece of ice called America. You are truly amazing!" -From Veils to Thongs”
