Truth be told, I was really looking forward to writing this piece because \u201cRACISM\u201d is out there – so open! But probably, shoved aside and turned a blind eye. As I write this, I am not saying I am perfect myself but what\u2019s important is \u201cI TRY\u201d – one day at a time to be there not just for myself but point it out when it has to be. Being an Indian, living in a foreign land and being away from \u201chome\u201d almost all of my adult life, I am ashamed to say this but unfortunately I have experienced or witnessed racism or racist comments. So, what do I do when I encounter such an act, especially when I am traveling? Here I am, vouching for the fact that I am not going to be frozen, angry, uncomfortable or sad. To feel this way is completely fine, because they are the most common emotions but I want to get out of that situation knowing my emotions were right! Knowing I did the right thing!<\/p>\n
