India: Culture, Traditions, & Globalization

In choosing where to study abroad, I sought an environment which would challenge me intensely and turn the world-as-I-knew-it upside-down; my stint in India did both unequivocally. Even more than challenge me, India enchanted me with her dizzying complexities, both beautiful and problematic. I left India with a greater sense of self, of the world and with new-found love for a culture and her people, specifically for the seven individuals—my family—with whom I lived. Staying with a host family in Pune is one of the prime positives of the ACM India program, there is no better way to learn and live within Indian culture than to do so in the home of an Indian family. I am fortunate now to carry my experience with me wherever I go; sights, sounds and smells which will forever color the facets of my life.
