For the coming months, I will be travelling back-and-forth from Orlando to Chennai, India. I’ve taken a project where I will be training eight individuals for Pershing, LLC. Seventy-five percent of my time will be spent in Chennai, with the remainder being in Orlando. Being an American-born Indian, I’m sure that I’ll experience some culture shock personally and professionally. I envision that this period of time will be one of syncretization, which brings me to this blog.

I have owned the domain Syncretized.com for at least three years. In that time, it has merely been a one-page placeholder citing a December 2007 launch date. On December 19, 2009, I’ve finally done something with this space. I had originally gotten this domain after I learned the word syncretize. To syncretize is to attempt to combine or harmonize differing philosophies, values, cultures, etc. What better word to describe the merging of two cultures (Indian and American) that I’ve been attempting to do for my entire life? I imagine that my time in India will either confuse me more, or solidify the amalgam that is already present. Either way, I need to chronicle the journey, so I finally put in the effort to set up a blog.

You can expect to read some of my thoughts on life in India, business, and a slew of funny stories along the way. I’ll be taking my baby with me on the trip (and by baby I mean my Canon EOS 7D). You’ll be able to see some of my pictures in my blog posts, but you can view them all at my gallery.
