I'm a sociologist. All of my videas reflect this passion ofr understanding, appreciating, exploring while being critical of society. I explore this through all of me and my identities, as well as my love for music and dance. How about you?
i was quotin the end of your video lol, with the holli stuff.
well really, this youtube was just to upload my dance videos. ive started a vlog youtube...not much workin on it thou only 2 subs and im being lazy with two videos...
so how do you pay to go to all these places?
you seem well off XD then again your only paying for one person, still seems like you been many places in short amount of time.
Yes, people often assume that I am quite wealthy or at least from a firlmy middle-class family. My mother assures me that I grew up middle class in values- one year of my college costed more than my family earned. But it was Buddhism in my home that allowed me to seize the globe as my own- s/t I've tried to encourage in others.
I'm Nigerian-American, though feel very close to Tamils, cannot say why, but feel very comfortable both in Tamil Nadu, as well as Sri Lanka- each on different levels.
I chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Jyo, and grew up associated with a lay Buddhist organization based in Japan known as the SGI.
Since you are living in Delhi, i will presume that you know hindi and are able to understand this quote which explains the plight of people living in foreign lands.
"Kitna badnaseeb hai zafar, dafna ke liye nahi mili do gaz zammen kuye yaar mein"
man i am so glad to know that you enjoyed that its my favorite festival in India, its just awesome. people forget all their animosity on this day and just have fun.
Ha! So you see this video and now you think Ilive here or do you still beleive that I am on tour, showing up in markets to shove a camera in folks' faces. DId it ever occur to you that the camera came LONG after the gawking? Do you think that someone who lives here would go around finding people to stare at him or her? That would be mad, and yet that what's you've assumed and I think that is YOUR bias against foreigners. You cannot even believe that the stop-n-gawk videos were real, but Holi?
haha dude, i have been living in Canada for 4 yrs I have seen bias too. and now I can diff. b/w real bias & perceived bias. those shopkeepers and people sitting on bikes didn't mean to stop and gawk at you. thats how the average indian in a city of 30 million indians sees anyone who is perceived as a foreigner. If u want 2 know anything about living in a foreign place then know this, my friend, u can live and die in one place but still be considered foreigner that is just the nature of things.
I have lived outside India for 13 yrs so i know.I only want you to know that i sympathize with your situation and just wanted to say that it was good to see you enjoy holi, just like i enjoy Stanley cup playoffs here in Canada or mardi gras in u.s
I love India, but also remain critical of this culture, especially as it moves forward towards creating its consumer society. See m other videos (though I realize that I have not yet placed up enough that show the more positive sides- what can I say, I'm a critic).
Holi is the most auspiciuos colourful festival of spraying eachother with colours of love. Your so beautiful and gorgeous you sexy gayboy.You look so wet and sassy soaked in all those lovely rainbow colours, so hot i cant control myself looking at you. You have certainly made me wet and sticky down here too.
Hey, and I'm a sociologist anthropologist dual major as well! Great minds, great minds....I tell ya!
