The Indian culture is known to be one of the world’s oldest civilizations. In the past western cultures mocked some of these customs and failed to appreciate the pleasant or favourable aspects of them. When the British took hold of India they tried to change many of India’s customs and systems. Today, we see how extremely beneficial some of these customs can be to our well-being and survival, they are not simply traditions to be followed blindly. In our current times India may offer some useful practices and lifestyle choices.

In the same way, lessons come to teach us something in life.  For if students did not get the tests and exams, then how would they know how far they had progressed?  So too, life sends us a test here and there, and it really is for us to look inside.  We have to fix ourselves from inside out and not try and fix the situation, or person, from outside in.  If we can take this approach, we can be ahead of the game, we can be prepared for the tests, so that we can pass them fully.
