Wow! I'm really impressed!
That's a very interesting way to get interested in India! Shah Rukh, is one of my favs! 
The first motion picture I ever saw in hindi, was his movie, Kuck Kuch Hota Hai (I was about 5?) and he's had a spot in my heart ever since! 
Veer-Zaara was quite an eye-opening movie, I completely agree!
It's so nice that you're interested in helping the lower classes here out. Sometimes, anything we do, like giving donations, etc, we can't be sure it goes to the right people and that their needs are tended to. When outsiders take interest, it gives new hope, you know what I mean?
Oooh! If you come here, I'd love to show you around!!! -
Oh, right, yeah! Hi Jessica!
Haha, thanks! I'm from the south --Chennai (Madras), Tamil Nadu. Yup, still living here! Haven't moved yet! Lol.
That's so nice to hear! And all the way from Ohio too! I like it here too, although, I think the heat here kind of puts me off it sometimes! It's terribly hot right now! We're in the peak of summer, so it's just HOT and still and humid, with the temperature going to almost 107 F. 
What got you interested in India?
How are you doing, by the way? Lol. It's very nice to meet you!!!! -

- About me
- I am a 22 year old Sociology major attending the University of Toledo in Ohio. I hope to either be a professor, social researcher for the UN, or work for an NGO overseas. My areas of interest is race, class, gender, poverty, homelessness, development, and education particularly in South Asian and Middle Eastern countries.
I am bisexual, but I am generally quiet about that. I have also been a self-harmer for 10 years. I suffer from general anxiety and PMDD. My mother and sister are bipolar, and my father is a verbally abusive former alcoholic. At one point in my life I was addicted to CCC's, and I have tried to commit suicide five times. I've also been molested.
Needless to say, I have been through the ringer in my lifetime, but I changed that. I am still challenged by my self-harm and my anxiety, but I have become a successful college student and a wife to a wonderful man who cares about me. With this, I really hope I can help some people. I may be older than quite a few people on this message board, but I hope that my life experiences can be of use to younger people who are struggling.
I check my e-mail account daily, and if you wish to talk to me as a "pen-pal"/support buddy then please don't hesitate to ask for my contact information.
