Hey everyone! I'm Navdeep, a 17 year old girl from India and I'm a high school senior. Well, my friends think I'm "weird" to follow the hippies and honestly, half of them don't even know anything about it...lol. I love listening to The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, The Doors and numerous other artists and it would probably take me ages to list all of them here. I just came across this forum by chance and I would love to communicate with others here because I'm sure that if you're here, then you must be having the same (or atleast, similar) views too.....anti-war, anti-discrimination, all about peace amd love.... See ya, Peace!
Hey makno! I'm in a Union territory, Chandigarh. It's like the joint capital of two states but belongs to neither....haha. I speak quite a lot of languages.....Punjabi (my mother tongue), Hindi, French and English, of course. I'm currently learning Spanish. You wanna learn Hindi? Cooool! Well, it's grammar is pretty simple but the script is different, though, it's easy to speak...
Kashmir is in the extreme north. It borders my state, though......beautiful place. Pity, it's in such turmoil.
Close to Rishikesh, my 2nd favorite place in India. As an Indian hippy you must have visited Rishikesh before.
yea it seems easy to speak .....im not even tryin to do the script thing ....my x girlfriends dad is a kashmiri pundit ....punjabi sounds like hindi to me ....then thers all those southern ones that sound totaly different ....anyway i welcome you and hope you have fun on the forums ,,,,
I'm a pretty new hippy, actually but yes, I've been to Rishikesh before. It has a lot of religious significance and though I'm an atheist-agnostic, I just went there with my family when I was pretty young....9 or 10, I guess. Hey, which is your favorite place in India?
Yeah, Punjabi and Hindi are pretty similar. Or rather, the ones spoken in Urban areas. Typical rural Punjabi is pretty different. As for the Southern India, it has a pretty different culture.....I mean, the languages, the customs, foods, rituals.....many things!
Every place in India is my favorite place really. But on a normal level I have to say Varanasi is the most magical place.
Not too often. Actually, now that I think of it I have only been there once. For about 5 months that time, but I am pretty sure I will be back.
Not enough though and I am seriously thinking about going back soon. If only the staring would be less.... :H
LOL...yeah, this "staring" thing is a huge problem here. It pisses me off big time to find someone staring at the face as if the dud has never seen a female. I guess foreigners are more stared at and I think it must seem to be pretty weird...
It is indeed pretty weird, but you get somewhat used to it. But then again, I do not have to explain you since you probably had to deal with that all your life. Although it is a bit annoying when you are eating and everybody turns around and keeps looking at you until you are finished. Still love India though.
