For years I’ve struggled with this question. Who am I really? Where do I belong? Growing up I didn’t quite “fit in” and yet I had a lot of friends, from varied backgrounds and with different interests. The bubble of urban India, makes you feel like the second generation of immigrants in your own country. You know you’re not like the average Indian, thanks to your privilege and exposure in a rapidly developing economy, but neither are you officially the “outsider” or racially a “foreigner”. Because tradition is embedded in your DNA.

Welcome to the carepackageforyou journal. I’m elated to have you here and share my virtual space with you. This journal entry is like an introduction for us to get acquainted as friends, even if we are just 2 passing strangers on the internet. I don’t believe in random “coincidences.” Even if you accidentally stumbled upon this page, know that we were meant to cross paths for a reason and maybe even a season.
