I’m an Indian by origin, but my journey over the years has taken me on a captivating path into the world of Chinese culture.

China is on top of my list for a dream vacation!

Since my move to the United States (1997), I’ve formed deep connections with Chinese friends who have enriched my life in countless ways. This blog is a testament to my fascination with the culture and my enduring friendships.

As I share my first experience watching a Chinese dance performance, I can’t help but reflect on the beautiful cultural tapestry that has woven its way into my life.

Here’s a snapshot of the enchanting evening. A huge callout to all performers and a personal thanks to my colleague and dear friend Xing Li for this memorable experience! 📸🇮🇳🤝🇨🇳
