If I try to define myself, I have to start 50000 or so years back when my genes started cooking in this subcontinent. This was the place that developed me into the black haired, brown eyed, brown skinned specimen , that I now am.
It was my ancestors that developed Moenjo daro and harrapa, I am sure I carry part of them within me , in my thinking and in my chromosomes....
The food that I like has been perfected in all of subcontinent over thousands of years, with all the ingredients that are products of this land.
My music was born here , again thousands of years back,written and played to me by Tagore, Ravi,Hemaant kumar Mehdi hassan Latta , and so many more...
There is no literature that relates to me, more then Krishan chanddar , Nazrul Islam, Ghalib and Faiz...all in their own ways...
Khajuraho is as much a representation of my fantasy as is Lal Qilla or badshahi mosque..
In myself I carry parts of everything that happened in this place we call subcontinent, over all its history.
I cant define myself without all of these..Its all Mine.
