After reading this week's newsletter, it struck me that the idea that we have a face that can be threatened is itself a form of personal space. So I am asking myself whether a major difference between Indian and US-American space is that between a more collective way of thinking as opposed to a focus on individuality.
I loved it Chandri!! And I never really thought about it that way- the two cultures are literally opposite in that respect and it really explains so much of our struggle as we straddle the two. Saving face. Personal space. Much to think about!!! Thanks!
There's a newish Indian grocery in AVL now, which sells paneer, among other yummy things. This curry might have to happen. :-)
Yet again, something for everyone. Thanks, Peter, Frankfurt.
