It's been a tough time for people around the world

What is Up With America’s Obsession with Arguing?

Recently I posted an article about how to learn yoga and was personally attacked for suggesting that videos and books are an option. I agree they aren’t the best option. The ideal way to learn yoga is in person from a certified yoga instructor, but now I’ll get comments asking me why an instructor needs to be certified if they’ve been teaching for over a decade and are properly trained. It seems like someone is always picking a fight.

 

I also posted about the medical benefits of CBD oil, and someone started trying to argue about all the different manufacturing processes and which company is superior. It seems everyone in America has strong opinions and feels it necessary always to share those opinions with others. I’ve traveled to over 20 countries in the last few years, and I’ve found that the need to argue every little point is, for the most part, an American phenomenon. Yes, people share differences of opinion all around the world, but generally in a much kinder manner. So, what is up with America’s obsession with arguing?

Indian wedding ceremony

The Tradition and Grandeur of an Indian Wedding Reception

It was hard to believe that what was once a vacant lot was now decorated in beautiful orange and white colors from floor to ceiling. I swear, the Indian people can make anything beautiful. They take great pride in their weddings, and this one was no exception. Arun was one of my employees at my last corporate job, and I wasn’t going to miss his wedding to his beautiful bride, Aashna, for anything. It was in Delhi, 7 hours away from Rishikesh, but I made the journey anyway so that I could show my support, and experience the tradition and grandeur of a real Indian wedding reception.

The Invitation

 

The Indian people give out a “wedding card” instead of an invitation. It looks like a fancy booklet, with details of the wedding and the reception inside. This one was written in English and even had an QR code inside. The outside was a lavish yellow satin.
