People have a hard time guessing my accent. I've lived in the US since college and at this point speak pretty much with an American accent, but definitely with a twist! As I'm Indian-bodied, people often ask if I was born in India. When I tell them I was born and raised in Africa, in Kenya and lived there until I moved to the States in 1993, people are often surprised and definitely wouldn't guess my accent is actually Kenyan!
Kenya is where I first developed a relationship with Krishna Consciousness. During a family trip to Mumbai when I was 14, an uncle took me to the Juhu ISKCON temple, as my grandmother and I were staying in a hotel across the street, having been put up there by the airline due to a delay in our return flight to Nairobi.

So what happens when you get divorced? or retire or laid-off? Grow older? Children grow up, move out and do not need you? Life challenges us, because of our “false identification” with our body and these roles we play. Why false?
Our body and roles we play have changed throughout our life. Both these can be taken away without any notice (e.g., car accident, layoff from job etc.) and therefore are temporary. Basing our identity and happiness on something temporary is like building a house on unstable ground with no foundation.
