A few weeks ago when I first heard this question I instantly thought well I'm Indian- Punjabi ...and there's not more to it. But then last week I had the chance to go to Vancouver and I started to think.....about this question and I realized that I didn't agree with being just Indian or Punjabi because I know I am more than that. Being from that background does not mean I am limited to following certain customs or rituals and I am free to follow and practice what I may like. My parents have never been the one's to enforce certain cultural practices on me but at the same time they are very much governed by being "Indian and Punjabi" that they let this mold most of the their decisions.


I wanted more for myself...why would I let a "title" confine me to thinking and doing certain things. I was once told "the sky is your limit" that being said......mere titles do not define me but rather I am something more than that....I have a personality unique to me...I have been shaped by many experiences that I will never forget in my lifetime....I have learned along the way...done things differently....and created a culture for myself....taking and giving what I may like.....my life will not be defined by a certain culture or title rather "I will live laugh...and love in all the days of my life"....
