http://earthonebigfamily.wordpress.com/
I have moved to USA 4.5 years back. Being alone in a foreign land taught me to look at life differently. I went through some worst times of my life, that made me who I am today. I met my love here. I feel like all these experiences have given me a new perspective about every thing around me. This is what I write about in my blog. I think the broadened horizons taught me acceptance. When I come across a tradition/rule that I do not like. The first thought that comes to my mind is why did this rule come into place? What is the background story of this tradition? So, that is what you will find in my blog.
Thank you,
Raina.
