Culture is our identity no matter where you go and where you work... if anything that makes you unique, defines what you are and know where you belong is your culture.
You feel all the more when you are in foreign country as you identify yourself first as an indian and when people first notice you as an indian, you realise you represent your country ... the culture, the values that makes us unique and identifies being your self, an Indian.
The challenge always is how do we uphold this culture that makes us unique living abroad, how do we imbibe the same in our kids and make ourselves and others proud of what we are.
There are many ways you could do so and one of them for sure celebrate our own festivals at home and teach your kids what does it mean, show them and make them feel part of it.
Here are pics of some of our eco friendly Ganesha (Self Hand made chalk piece Ganesha)with backdrop as Swiss Alps :-) and aniamals (courtesy my daughter)
