Social Butterfly


Myspace? Too commercial. Friendster? Sooooo 2004. So what’s a hot desi like you to do when you want to meet other South Asians? Well the daily desi is going to tell you.

A new crop of desi networking sites allow you to meet and connect with other like minded desis all over the world. Zindaginet.com allows you to search people by height, religion, high school, and the oh-so-important ancestral village among other criteria. You can also save searches, upload your latest drunken vacation photos, and take a most telling personality quiz.

Next up is Yaari.com. In addition to the typical goodies, Yaari also runs various contests as well as applications for your cellie cell cell, so you can be connected on the go. Best of all membership to both sites are free. So you can chat up that John Abraham /Aishwarya Rai look-a-like all you want.
