Feeling Worlds Apart in One World

What if we were all just from one place, one place full of a countless number of people, places, and things. A magical place, where everyone does have one thing in common, one thing which overcomes the differences that divide us on a daily basis. Perhaps I'm a bit of a dreamer, but I like to believe this place already exists. 

Some people have a fairly small view of the world, wanting to move onto the next place before they can enjoy where they are. I have always thought of things a little differently. Just because we can fly around the world in less than a day, doesn't make it small. In fact, this planet still has a lot of land for us to explore. 

So, why are we sending people off into space when we have barely scratched the surface of all the places in this planet? Just because we can, doesn't mean we should. There is still so much for us to learn, so much culture on the earth that many are willing to ignore! 

Living in India, I aim to truly experience this place as best as I can. I will admit, in previous countries I failed to enjoy them as I now know I should have. (Being hung up on the lack of food, is no excuse!) I vow to make this planet, a little closer, by sharing all my experiences. From how comfortable the traditional Indian clothing is to what the Taj Mahal really looks like, I plan to bridge the gap between the cultures and make places worlds apart realize there's just one world.
