November 23, 2010 - I watched a small documentary made by those USC School of Social Work students who went to India for the summer immersion program. It was a good movie. I wont say it was an awesome direction, camera work or subject but it hit the spot. I saw it when I am in between deciding which summer immersion program to join, and which one to leave.
Before the documentary started, Dean Soni from Center of Religion spoke for few minutes about the social awareness and social work changes of India, and then Director of APASS, USC spoke and shared her experience of working with South Asian community in the US. She is an amazing person whom I know for few years and I am so glad that I have met her in my life, she is an inspiration.
Anyways, let me try to collect my scattered thoughts and try to write what is needed...
I missed India and felt the need of social change and social justice in India. The movie reminded me that I need to go back there and work, and be there for my country people...I still havent decided what to do and how to do...I spoke with a professor who is South Asian from India and discussed what can we do to bring more cultural competencies and to bring interest of other race people to work with South Asians. Whatever we discussed, I cant put it up here but I hope it works out because once it happens, it is gonna be a great opportunity for many, including USC School of Social Work...
I dont want to sleep even if my body is so ready to sleep and even if I am warm and comfortable in my own place. My roommate is gone for 4/5 days to his parents house for thanksgiving and I am all alone...maybe I am just feeling lonely or maybe I am tired of my routine of sleep.
With these scattered thoughts and these broken image of my own thoughts....I am gonna say bye...Adios!
