I venture to the land of curry and complexity, trying to understand the 'Indian' in my 'Indian-American' identity.

About this blog

Leaving the comforts of my everyday life--the fast-food, fast-traffic, fast-pace--I venture to a land that looks to America with wide eyes, yet risks sacrifing its true identity. I leave for India with the intention to not only learn about my history, but also understand the dynamics of this increasingly globalized country. My travels will expose me to the inner workings of a nation on the verge of supremacy, yet what the future holds is for you and I to see.
