I'm a Hindu and my parents were born in India so our family visits there a lot. We generally go every other year and go to religious places or visit family. To the left of you is a picture of the beach at Bendamurlanka (pronounced Ben-moor-lan-ka), this is my Grandpa's village where he owns a farm and such. My cousin recently started a GoFundMe with my help to help children get books and stuff as the area is generally poorer. Here is a link to the page http://www.gofundme.com/ccywdw.
My grandpa as a farmer owns a couple of farm animals here is a picture of them, my sister named the white one named Bellam which means ornery and my cousin named the other one Lakshmi who is the goddess of wealth in my religion. Last winter actually we visited the Taj Mahal and the red fort in India which was a good experience for me since I have never visited a tourist attraction there before and it felt like a very different experience. An effect of my heritage as well is that I watch a lot of Bollywood movies.A few of my personal interests are music, games, and movies. I consider myself to be a somewhat musical person as I play the guitar and the saxophone and have been playing them for a very long time now. I used to play tennis as well. I love to watch movies, my favorite movie of last year being Whiplash and my favorite of all time probably being Godfather part 2.


It's really cool that your grandfather started that fundraiser to get books for kids. It's nice knowing there are people out there helping kids to read and enjoy books. Which did you like better: the Taj Mahal or Red Fort?
