So I have arrived in “The States” as they call it overseas safely and with a new look on life. I definitely can say that I appreciate the smaller yet most important things in life such as a AC (which has become my best friend since a month long trip in india where it was [...]

Traveling to India turned out to be a very important and necessary experience in my life, just as I knew it would.

I remember my parents saying to us (My sister, my brother and I), “You know, we didn’t have cell phones when we were kids, and we managed!” and honestly, I thought wow, life would be pretty different if not for cell phones. It sounds almost sick to have such a dependence, but I think most [...]
