Have a nice stay , there are many Linuxchix there (in California) so
if you want to meet any just holler on the  grrls-only list of
linuxchix.org which as the name suggests is for women only.

..... the word "Bharatiya Nari" in a wider connotation, conjures up
images of the sari clad, kitchen slaving, obedient, subservient,
self-sacrificing Indian woman   .... Is that what Linuxchix is all
about ?

LatinAmerican women are in a completely different stratosphere as
compared to Indian women atleast in certain aspects. We have a long
