I know I know, this episode was supposed to be Judging Guys by Zodiac signs Part 2 BUT since the number 5 is my favorite/lucky number and this is the 5th episode of the YIJY Podcast I wanted to do something special and personal. In this episode we talk about expectations to fit into an identity you may not fully, well, identify with. AKA what people expect from an Indian person/woman in America and in India. I've never liked these imposed subliminal requirements to be stereotypically  'Indian' that I find many Indian people enable, especially abroad. I don't like the  blanket and  broad characteristics  imposed on a nation of a billion (1.6 to be exact) diverse people. It truly did lead to an identity crisis for me and enabled me to really ask myself, did I not identify as Indian? If not, then who was I? What was I supposed to be? If you have experienced a similar feeling, either if you have moved countries, your identity is a part of many countries, or you just don't like pigeon holing yourself to what the world 'expects you to be', - This episode is dedicated to you.
