Growing up in the states and living under a culture clashed household has been one of the craziest experiences of my life. I has born and raised in Virginia and grown up around the american culture. My parents on the other hand were born and raised in India and grew up around southasian/ middle eastern culture. As much as i love and charish my parents the biggest difference and issue between us the fact that we grew up in two different worlds; therefore we dont see eye to eye on just about everything. We agree to disagree on anything from what I should go to school for to who I should love. I know my parents want whats best for me but, when do i draw the line and start living my own life?
Throught the next couple weeks I'll try to express the struggles and experiences of living two lives. I want you to understand how differently I see life because of the fact that I am stuck in the middle of two diffent worlds.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Make sure to provide a nice "background" post in which we learn more about not only your parents' traditional backgrounds, but thier beliefs about the U.S...
