    What a fascinating country India is. Kannada celebrations in Bangkok, Thailand Konkany celebrations in Doha, Qatar Thulu performance in
    Tel Aviv in Israel Gujerati festivals in Houston, Texas Marathi competition in Van Couver, Canada Tamil Convetion in Auckland, New Zealand and a Hindi celebration in London, England. India has so much to offer every corner of the globe. This is what Globalization is all about.

    Indians are everywhere making "home away from home" wherever they are and whoever they are. The cultural diversity of India is a major contribution of India's rich heritage well spread throughout the world and well admired. The color, the culture, the language as well as the faith of India is well represented all corners of this "small world - a beautiful world".

    We recently took part in the 3 day Retreat in Dallas, Texas conducted by the group in Potta, Kerala. What a beautiful display of organization, the musical performance, prayerful program, and most importantly the quality of people of our "Maathra Bhoomy" coming all the way and giving the very best of their talents and devotion towards the cause of global diversity and unity. God bless us all. "Dhanyawaadh".
