People have always asked me where I come from. I always hesitate because I'm not really sure how to answer."My parents are from India but I am American" became my generic answer. India was always a sort of fantasyland to me growing up. In contrast to the different parts of America,where I lived, everything was colorful and everywhere was filled with people . I feel that having parents from a different country, specifically India, has given me a unique vision of human nature and the world in general. The Photographs from this book are pictures that I took the last time I went to India. The family I stayed with granted me insight to what life was really like there. I would have never known what it would truly be like to live there and truly be Indian. These photographs are a testament to this and gives us a peek into an amazing world.
