travel“I was very much a homebody before I left,90 the continental | spring 2008but now I have a strong urge to travel and see the world.”
travelis a certain sense of peace and empathy that exists among and betweenthe people of India. In Hindi, it is common to call a stranger “brother”or “sister.” Everyone is involved in their community. Despite generalglobal perceptions, society in India—particularly in large cities—isinfluenced by both class and caste. Though the caste system generallydetermines occupation, class structures are still important.MK: What advice would you give to another <strong>Hamilton</strong> studentpreparing to study abroad in India?MA: Be respectful of the other culture, and constantly remind yourselfthat you are a guest of their country. Don’t impose your own culturalideas or expectations on others. One general rule that I followed keptme out of trouble during my time in India: When situations get reallyintense, just smile through it and dispel any tension that may arise withlocals. You must be forgiving and just smile through things.MK: What kind of student do you think would get a lot of value out ofstudying abroad in India?MA: Someone who has had very little experience traveling andexploring new cultures would get the most out of it. You shoulddefinitely be open-minded. Get used to the idea of being comfortablewith being uncomfortable. Be vigilant about not having the things youmight take for granted back home, like constant access to sanitary water.Finally, try not to think about home too much. Be in the moment—takeyour experience day by day. If you do, you will learn so many invaluablelessons.the continental | spring 2008 91
