Diary of a Brown Suburban Wife - Where is it?

Globalization has led many people to leave the lands of their birth and settle in other lands - of opportunity, adventure, etc. Predictably, this transmigration has led to that other global phenomenon - the inter cultural and interracial marriage. Yours truly is one such statistic. Enter the Internet and blogging and there is now a wider audience that has a collective window into such marriages as they unfold and develop.

Since I come from India, my interest in Indian bloggers has kept pace with the expansion of that pool. I have noticed that there are many women of western origin (mostly, but not always, white) who blog fairly extensively about their intercultural partnerships. Some of these women live in India, some live in the west with their Indian spouses. But certainly these women feel that their marriages are blog-worthy material, with the pushes and pulls of in-laws and cultural expectations, etc. I think there should be a separate category of blogs, anyway, for Indian in-laws, given the intricate dynamics of that relationship (I can't even imagine the confusion that the entry of a foreign daughter-in-law must create in the network of desi in-law relationships).

Given that there are a fair number of Indian women who are also in intercultural marriages, why is it that so few blog about their experiences? It's not as if we don't have the same learning curves, similar experiences about differences in food, lifestyles, family expectations, etc. So where is the diary of the brown American housewife? Or the desiAmerican? Why is the minutiae of the mixed marriage not considered blogworthy by the desi participant in the partnership?

Not having polled anybody, my answer can only be tentative and personal. I don't blog about my marriage because - intercultural or not - it is mine, personal, private. Whatever K. and I go through, whatever I think of the objective setting of my marriage (and believe me, a mixed marriage in Fairfield County is infinitely easier than one located in rural Kansas), all those things have to play themselves out off-line. And while my blog risks being bland at times, given the self-imposed restrictions on subject matters, it does not touch on my personal life except to provide context for something, my outlook in life, my politics, etc. This does not mean that I don't thorougly enjoy the blogs by the women writing about their desi experience. I do read them, sometimes sympathize, sometimes laugh, sometimes shake my head.

Desi bloggers out there, those of you in mixed marriages, what are your reasons for blogging or not blogging about your relationship?
