Language & Cross Cultural Confusion feat. Kritika Sharma - SeroTunein | Epidose 24 SeroTunein
-
- Mental Health
In this epidose of SeroTunein, me and my friend Kritika explore the varieties of our cross-cultural confusion as Indian Americans. We first acknowledge the differences in our cultural identity: her being raised Hindu in a family originally from the North Indian state of Maharashtra and me being raised Christian in a family originally from the South Indian state of Kerala. One of us grew up on the West Coast speaking Hindi and Marathi and the other one grew up on the East Coast hearing Malayalam. I’m the other one by the way.
Despite our differences, both of us have experienced similar confusing situations in our American lives: Inviting friends over, asking for help in new settings, personal finances, the whole mix. In this epidose, we take some time to see why these situations felt uncomfortable or unusual in our Indian-American experiences.
