Animals on the streets. Colourful narrow lanes. Bollywood movies. Orgasmic food. Cultural diversity. You’ve experienced it all growing up in India. You might live in any part of the world, but no country can live up to the charm and teach as many things as this wonderful land. It teaches you compassion, diversity, passion, culture – in short, it teaches you the essence of life. Here are 10 reasons why growing up in India is the best thing to happen to anyone.

We are nurtured by a rich diversity of cultures

India is a potpourri of diverse cultures. Nowhere else will you get to see people of different cultures living together harmoniously. We enthusiastically celebrate all festivals together, and have both Muslim and Christian friends.

We always had more occasions to celebrate

From Holi and Diwali to Durga Puja and Onam, so many festivals give us a reason to celebrate life every now and then. And the holidays that they bring with them are an added advantage. They are such a perfect time to shop, chill and be with family and friends.
