Is it too late for an Introduction??

I just realized I didn't really start this blog with an introduction. Oops? Better late than never, right??

I figured I would make my blog about my culture. Honestly, I didn't know what to write about so I started looking around my room for something that could possibly spark some interest in my classmates. As I was looking around I realized a lot of my pictures included my family and I wearing Indian clothes. So why not write about India?! I could write about the different aspects of it like the fashion, holidays, traditions and so much more.

I also knew that there are a lot of stereotypes out there about Indians. Some people can be really ignorant with their comments. Especially because some people will think just because a person is brown, they are automatically Indian and Hindu. I'm not saying they're completely wrong, but maybe I could teach people more through this blog.

Maybe I should give you a little of my background. My name is Sherin Thomas, probably a weird name for an Indian to have. Why do I have two first names? My last name is Thomas because I am Christian. I come from a family that goes to church every single sunday. I also am a member of a huge family. My dad has 4 brothers and 2 sisters. My mom has 4 sisters and 2 brothers. Weird, right? And of course with all these aunts and uncles comes all my cousins. My cousins and I really close, we consider each other siblings. I was born and raised in America, but I love my culture. I've only gone to India a few times, but when I do go, I really enjoy it to the fullest. That's usually not normal. Most Indians who are born and raised in America absolutely hate going to India. I don't know what it is, but I love it.
