One of the benefits of living in a large metropolis like LA, that one never feels too far away from their culture. One ritual that my roommate and I routinely have begun to follow is to watch a Hindi flick once a month.
Yesterday, I saw Laga Chunari Mein Daag (metaphorically - I'm tainted.) Two lines from the the title song stuck with me.
Majdhar Mein Hamri Nayiya
Phir Bhi Dekho Mast Hai Hum Bhaiya
(A tempest rocks my boat;
Behold, we are still merry my friend.)
Some recent experiences have taught me one fundamental lesson; Tis' not the number of setbacks one endures in life that define an individual's strength, but the pace at which an individual recovers from such interruptions.
Gladly the three most foul weeks of my life thus far are behind me.
