Growing up in an Indian
family, a lot of these stories I am familiar with although I’m sure there’s
plenty of new things that I am bound to learn. I am excited to see how this
class goes and what all I will learn! This is actually the first class I will
be taking that focuses on the Indian culture but I really haven’t taken any
classes that focus on a specific culture.
Ever
since I was a little kid, I have been watching Indian movies and listening to
Indian music. It’s cool how I can enjoy music from one culture, and then also
have the opportunity to enjoy music from another culture! Indian movies are
also very different from Hollywood in my opinion.
I have been to India
three times in my life! Once when I was really young, another when I was in
second grade, and the most recent time when I was a freshman in high school. It’s
like a whole new world there. The style of life is different, the environment
is different, as are the people. One thing I would never do in India is drive.
It’s crazy there! The road/highway system isn't nearly as developed as it is
here. There’s always people honking at you and tailing you, there’s no stop
signs or stop lights, and there’s really no one to enforce traffic! So I wouldn't recommend driving there if you haven’t already been exposed to that kind of
chaos.

I’m really excited to
see how this class goes and to learn more about the Indian culture. Hopefully
it’s an enjoyable experience!
