American born Indians like myself are a very unique and special ethnic group. But as the acronym goes, ABCDs (American Born Confused Desi's) do tend to be a little confused. For most of us, when we're young and in school, we identify ourselves as American only. However, as we get married and grow older, many decide they want to develop their Indian side more and connect with native Indians. That's how I feel now and that's why I made this site, to document my learning path so others can become more Indian too. If you find yourself in the same boat as me, then this site is just for you.
