Also, depending on which part of India you are from, you often speak a local language as well. India has so many states. Each state is essentially a country in itself, with its own language, its own way of being, and its own foods and eating habits.
I come from Mumbai, which is based in Maharastra. Marathi is the local language there. I know English, Hindi and Marathi very fluently. My mother comes from the south of India, which is Bangalore. I know a little bit of the southern Indian language, called Tulu. All together, I know four languages, and these languages are completely different.
English: "Hi, Hello"
Hindi: "Namaste"
Marathi: "Namaskar"
Tulu: "Yencha ullar"
We don't have pets, although my son has begged for the longest time to have a dog. It's a responsibility, and since my wife and I are both working, it can be very tough. Maybe when he's old enough to appreciate that he needs to contribute to taking care of it, we will consider it!
Traveling is my passion. I have been to London in the U.K. recently, as well as Scotland, Switzerland, Italy, France and Spain. I have also traveled in Asia extensively, including to Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and Dubai. I make it a point every year to travel to one country where I have not been before. In the last ten years, I have covered a lot of countries!
The next place I want to go to is Japan. April is called the cherry blossom season, so it is supposed to be the best time to visit Japan. However, it might not be the right time to travel now. Maybe we will go to Austria or somewhere else in Europe later this year instead.
