Traditional identity

As a person born and brought up in India, I always identify with our culture and traditions although this identification gets a bit diluted when people like me leave the home country and work abroad for a few years. When they return home, their identification restores to the original level.

During my stay abroad in different countries, I have observed how people are interested in preserving their culture and traditions. 

This evening I bumped in to a TV documentary featuring a young Cambodian entrepreneur who runs a snacks manufacturing unit in Phnom Penh. She uses locally available vegetables and traditional tools in her work. She visits her parents and daughter who live in a village that is 250 km away from Phnom Penh regularly. 

I have come across a few people, including colleagues, like this woman in all countries in which I worked.

Let me share the  documentary here.
