India

Over the past couple of months, I've realized that I've learned so many positive things about India in last three years than I can ever imagine...

India is constantly improving and so are her people. That only makes me feel more proud.

The malls are so much fun and some of them even better than the ones I've seen before in the US/Canada. The best part is, you can get all decked up in jewelry and a glittery saari and go to the mall without being stared at! ;)

If you feel like eating things like "paapDi no loT" you don't have to wait till mom or the aunty next door makes it, you can just stroll down to "Saasumaa Nu Khichu" and grab a bowl-to-go with a spoon and toppings that make it only more delicious.
