"Namaste America" .. A greeting from India !!! (Incredible India)

San Diego,

"Namaste"

 

When we greet one another we fold our hands & "Namaste" because we believe that God resides in the heart of every human being.

This report is my attempt to give u just a glimpse of what India is.

We come from a nation where we allow a Lady of Catholic origin to step aside for a Sikh to be sworn in as a Prime Minister by a Muslim President to govern a nation of over 80% Hindus. Which means that it is a multicultural and multi religions country i:e Hindus,  Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists and many more.

Colors and Cultures 

When i hear or think about my country the VERY first thing that comes to my mind is Colors and Festivals. It is a country which has a number of festivals in all sorts of fun and frolics. A place where people come on a spiritual journey and to discover themselves. I say spiritual because it is a country that has lots of Temples, Mosques, Churches and Gurdwarahs (where sikhs worships). Visit them in early mornings to hear the calm and serene music. You will lose yourself the purity of the atmosphere. We start our day with a prayer. Visit India in the months of October and November, you will find the best climate and lots and lots of festivals to keep you on your toes.

Food & Cusines

As a land that has experienced extensive immigration and intermingling through many millenia, India has benefited from numerous food influences. In india almost 30 % of the population is Vegetarian ( no meats at all). Cuisines, flavors change if you go down from North to South or from East to West. You can have a South indian dish in North, East or West as tastes and flavors cross over geographically.  

Try Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken, or a Tradional North India.

What you should not miss at all?

Below mentioned are just a few places out of many:

North : Agra for Taj Mahal, Delhi for Red fort, Lotus Temple and Metropolitan Experiences

South : Natural Beauty of Kerela waters, Temples of Tirupati,  Mumbai for Bollywood industry & Fashion street

West :  Rajstathan for its ever green Forts, deserts and rich folk cuture, Goa for its colorful beaches and natural beauty.

India Today

A country where there are 5600 newspapers, 3500 magazines in over 21 different languages with a combined readership of 120 million. It is a 3rd largest in the world of Doctors, Engineers and Scientists. Some top level execs of big Software Companies are Indian.
