So, I started to flip through the rest of your blog, and it's amazing how much I have learned from it. I found very interesting the posts with examples drawn out by Hinduism and the ones in which you reported real life cases that involves Indian people. I was surprise by how close to Christianity was your thought about the fact that everybody deserves love. And I really liked the post "Insects, flowers and love". In that post you were writing:"The flowers are separated by distance and cannot really travel to one another. Yet, they manage to establish a connection, to share something special, to love, to mate and to help the "world live". They accomplish this without even leaving their places. Is that possible for our hearts? Can we love despite being separated by distances of any kind (geographic, mental, etc)?"<BR/>Well, my boyfriend and I are exactly like two flowers that keep trying to stay connected in some way, even if the wind blows them apart.<BR/>Let me share my story with you: I'm in love with an Indian guy that lives in the States, he is the most respectful, sincere and trustworthy guy I have ever met. We have a very similar character despite the fact of having grown up in two very different countries (I'm European), therefore having different religion, culture and language. At first it was quite difficult for me to understand some of his behaviors, like being sometimes very frank and insensitive, or reluctant to physical contact (especially in public), or like speaking every time of how expensive are things in the US or making a lot of question in a row. The most unbelievable thing was when I understood I was the first girl he had been dating in his whole life! Up till now I have tried and read the more I can about relationships with Indian guys, so I have been able to understand that a lot of behaviors that can seem odd for a Westerner can be regarded as normal in his culture. I hope to get to understand him better and better.<BR/>Now we are thousands miles apart because, after being in the US, where we met, I had to relocate again to Europe. We are not committed, but I hope that there will be some chance for us to stay together in the future.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your blog and keep up the good work!<BR/>ClaireClairenoreply@blogger.com
