A very diverse country ...

.. with a number of different languages (dialects), religions and behaviors. I have become interested in the country during my senior year in high school, while working on a research project about Hinduism. Besides researching, developing stories and watching documentaries, I met a very interesting person who has become a friend over the past year. My teacher had asked us to interview someone from the culture that we have decided to research. I contacted Dr Koti Sreekrishna, whose profile i found on the Cincinnati Temple website, and met up with him at a local Panera Bread the following week.

Now being a first-year college student at Ohio University, I went to a study abroad fair to learn about internships in India. I became interested in one internship in particular, presented by Jacksonville University (iep- International Education Programs). 

As it is now, I will be interning in Mysore, India, this coming july. The internship will last about 4 weeks and be focused on journalism.

Therefore, I would like to learn more about the country by researching and blogging about interesting facts about the culture, as well as providing the latest news and current situation of the country. In the summer, after my trip, I will write about my own experience.
