Smitha,

Excellent show! You handled the topic very well and pointed out both sides of the equation...

I like how you described your life as falling into two columns & totally agree with your 'jar of culture' theory.

However I disagree with you on the definition/interpretation of Indian culture or what you thought was an honest interpretation...

Rock on gal!
