I started this blog as a general place to play with relationships and ideas.  As my own reationship has become more nuanced, complex, and really wonderful I thought I’d write about what my guy and I have went through to make it work.

Specifically, he’s pretty Indian, I’ve discovered I’m pretty American, and far beyond both of these things, we are two unique snowflakes who are quite in love.  Mostly, I wish to cover the intercultural aspects we work through together as it has been a shared experience of many visitors here.  However, I hope I also convey our bond beyond borders and how we seek to make it stick in both our worlds.

And what is “The Milano?!” you ask.  That is the first nickname R (my guy) and I used for our intercultural relationship…him being brown and me being white.  You know, like the Milano cookie?  Ever since we have expressed a certain curiousity towards other “milanos” and even feel a distance sense of solidarity with them (even if we don’t know them).  For all those other milanos out there…you know what I mean.

Hope you enjoy reading my stories as much as I do making them.
