Culture Chaos : Stories of An Indian Abroad

Society & Culture


Navratri for the NRI community is beyond the 9 days of fasting, its beyond garba dancing or the religious celebrations. For the NRI community, Navratri events have always had a huge cultural significance and is seen as a time to get together and celebrate our roots and culture. It took me almost 8 years of attending Garba events in North America to understand the deep cultural meaning this festival held for the Indian community abroad.  Check out more episodes from Culture Chaos where I share stories of my experiences trying to navigate life away from India.
