Culture Shock'd

America is weird.
Wait, wait no. Americans ages 18-25 (approximately) are weird. I don't understand this fashion these days. Being sickly thin, wearing loads of accessories — bangles, earrings, necklaces, tattoos, fedora hats, make-up, shoes, beanies, etc.
It seems like a surplus of everything causes so much stress.
stress to fit in. stress to be cool. stress to drive the right car, look the right way, be the right size.

India life was so simple.
No TV to warp my thinking. No fashion. Function only. Being thin is a sign of poverty. Wealth is seen on someone who looks like they've been eating well. Curves. No make-up to sweat off. A nice cool down in the jungle rain. Chasing monkeys for exercise.

Don't get me wrong, I am so grateful to be back in the good ol' red, white, and blue; but something about the simplicity of jungle life really gets me. Sitting under a ceiling fan, sipping chai, talking about life.



Could I go back?
