India
Namaste everyone. I am a 21 year old Indian-American residing in California, U.S.A.. Well what can I tell you about myself? I love life and try to enjoy it as much as I can. I have had the wonderful opportunity to travel to many places around the world. I enjoy reading and learning about different cultures. I love to study about politics especially in a global context. I love history, economics, english, philosophy, religion, and all of the humanities. However, in school I am studying science, so I am searching for that balance!!
I believe strongly in the rights of poor, working class, and underprivelaged (check out my politics links). I love all religionsand do consider myself a Universalist but do consider myself a cultural Hindu with many Buddhist beliefs as well. I truly believe in the religion of tolerance and love.
I also love music. I like to listen to all different kinds: hip-hop, gangsta rap, funk, old school, disco, alternative rap, heavy metal, rap-metal, hindi film, hindi-pop, dance, house, bhanghra, alternative, latin house, indian classical, reggae, euro-dance, and underground rap.
Also I am an ethnic Konkani from Karnataka (south India). I can speak English (last time I checked!!!), Konkani (my mother tongue), and some Hindi (the national language of India). I love both America and India.

Well I like to do a lot of things. Where should I start: watching movies, talking with my friends, reading about politics, world affairs, religions, and philosophy, martial arts (Kung Fu San Soo, Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, and Kickboxing), meditation (Vipassana), yoga, excercising, writing, and cultural programs. I also love music.
