I was born in Mumbai, India, and lived there for the first ten years of my life. My parents then moved us to New York City, where I lived for another ten years. Finally, we moved to Scranton, Pennsylvania, where I have lived ever since.

Growing up in three different cities has given me a unique perspective on life. I have seen how different cultures operate and how people from different backgrounds interact with each other. I have also learned to appreciate the diversity of the world and to see the beauty in all cultures.

Mumbai

Mumbai is a city of contrasts. It is a city of great wealth and great poverty. It is a city of ancient traditions and modern skyscrapers. It is a city of chaos and order. I loved growing up in Mumbai. I loved the vibrant culture, the delicious food, and the friendly people. I also loved the sense of community that I felt there. Everyone in my neighborhood knew each other, and we all looked out for each other.

One of my favorite memories from my childhood in Mumbai is of the time I went to the Gateway of India with my family. The Gateway of India is a large archway that was built to commemorate the arrival of King George V and Queen Mary to India in 1911. It is a beautiful building, and I was so excited to see it. I remember standing there with my family and looking out at the Arabian Sea. I felt so proud to be from Mumbai.

New York City

New York City is a city that never sleeps. It is a city of endless possibilities. It is a city of dreams. I loved living in New York City. I loved the fast-paced lifestyle, the world-class museums, and the amazing food. I also loved the diversity of the city. People from all over the world live in New York City, and I loved learning about different cultures.

One of my favorite memories from my time in New York City is of the time I went to see a Broadway show with my family. We saw The Lion King, and it was an amazing experience. I was so impressed by the talent of the actors and the beauty of the music. I remember leaving the theater feeling so inspired.

Scranton

Scranton is a small city in Pennsylvania. It is a city of hard-working people and strong values. I love living in Scranton. I love the sense of community that I feel here. I also love the beautiful scenery. Scranton is surrounded by mountains and forests, and I love spending time outdoors.

One of my favorite memories from my time in Scranton is of the time I went hiking in the Pocono Mountains with my friends. We hiked to the top of a mountain, and the views were breathtaking. I remember feeling so grateful to be living in such a beautiful place.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have grown up in three different cities. Each city has shaped me in a unique way, and I am proud of the person I have become. I am a product of my experiences, and I am grateful for the diversity of the world.
