It took me years to recognize the importance of diversity and customs. As a girl growing up in two cultures, I found my own tradition something to be ashamed of. I was just a little innocent four year old girl when I made my new home in America. I came to love America, but this resulted in me forgetting about which culture I came from. Migrating to America is something that drove me distinctly away from myself and my religion of Hinduism. Slowly, I began to recognize the lack of knowledge I had for my own culture. This lack of knowledge was a huge frustration for me. However, this all changed when I went to my home country, India, for the first time in seven years.
I was very excited about going to India, but I lacked the knowledge of a true Indian. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I arrived there. What kind of fun things can you possibly do in India? This was a question that crossed my mind several times before I arrived in India. I thought of India as a nation suffering from poverty and a nation that was far behind on advancing technology. However, I came to realize that I didn’t need technology in order to be happy and that there are many other things that I can do to still have fun.
Visiting India meant a lot to me. India is a place where we can get together in groups and have celebrations to express our traditions and to express our culture of Hinduism. I am proud of India’s rich culture and of the unity that brings out the best of the culture. India is a place where I can shop and not be ashamed to express who I truly am with my traditional clothes and my traditional accessories. India takes up a huge proportion of my personality and how I will continue to grow as a person.
Some things that I enjoyed about my trip to India were shopping and the celebrations. Two of my favorite Indian celebrations were Diwali and Navaratri. Diwali is a celebration in which we do fireworks. Diwali represents the victory of good over evil or light over dark. Navaratri is a celebration in which dances occur for nine whole days to honor the mother goddess. On the other hand, some things I didn’t enjoy in India was spotting wildlife roaming around everywhere in my town of Visnagar. Also, I didn’t enjoy how I had to walk around for miles to get to places, but this was an important experience because it showed me that we often rely on vehicles to get to places instead of relying on our own two feet.
From my trip to India, I learned that I shouldn’t always rely on technology to do things. I also learned that culture and tradition are important. Not only do culture and tradition help shape the person you are, but they help you see the beauty that exists in every person. Culture is what makes everyone so unique with their own thoughts and ideas. Without culture, everyone would have the same ways of thinking, which diminishes the uniqueness of the individual. My trip to India changed me because it taught me the value of culture and diversity and about how thankful I am that I have that in my life. When it was time for me to return to America, I brought back with me my culture, which will stick with me for the rest of my life as an Indian.

Bringing to you the most unique holidays covering the most beautiful parts of Himachal. Tirthan: Located in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, Tirthan Valley derives its name from the Tirthan river, which winds its way through it. Tirthan Valley is one of the less-visited places which makes it more beautiful and peaceful. The natural beauty of the place is alluring enough, it gives you an offbeat destination taste without bringing you to a remote area. Some of the highlights of the trek include beautiful meadows with flowers in full bloom, glaciers feeding into the Tirthan Valley, and the views of the higher snow-clad ranges
here is a very beautiful destination in India where you want to travel with zenithholidays – tour & travel company

Dude, Mike Murray… You are living my dream, man. If I could and had all the money in the world, I would love to just jump in my car and drive drive and drive for just siteseeing… Thank you for your awesome blog posts.
Hello! It looks very interesting, great post, thanks. I used to play paintball a lot myself. But now is the time that you need to spend a lot of time at home. During a pandemic, it is important not to stop and sit still, but to study something, read, write articles or blogs. I recommend a useful resource in my profile with very sensitive material that requires due attention, which will be relevant to you, go ahead and study the pros and cons of gun control, and think for yourself over this issue and the problem in general. Good luck to everyone and health!

Hello to everybody,
First of all let me introduce myself: my name is Daniele Baraldi and I work for Top Service, a Company that deals with travels and products conceived for families with kids.
I would like to bring to your attention a new concept of traveling. A virtual interactive tour upon many different locations that children can follow comfortably from home for those families who want to offer their kids the opportunity to explore their origins directly live from their sofa by interacting with a kid-friendly guide.
This new product, built up in a playful and educational way, is a new and entertaining one that can surely raise an interest in your community.
I really hope we will soon get in touch for a trial.
