RUBY PATEL

I have a nickname for her: "Evil Cousin Ruby". She's ruthless, competitive and she's always trying to make me look bad. Like the time at her birthday party, when I ate the hot biryani and then ran out looking for the nearest fire department, she told our entire extended family, "Can you believe she's Indian? She's the whitest Indian girl I know!" Note: I totally would've shot her a clever comeback if my tongue hadn't been stuck to the inside of her freezer. So you get the picture: family fun in a battle-to-the-death type setting.
