Honestly growing up I thought that Indian culture was so beautiful! Like I love the elaborateness of the culture from their sarees, food, jewelry, morals, and architecture.

I feel like it’s kind of metaphorical for life. And I feel you on the whole Japanese culture thing, I think you summed it up well. And Indian culture seems pretty cool too, especially it’s “aesthetics”— but tbh I…
