I first visited India in the fall of 2009 and that is when my cousin Haniya and I landed in Mumbai.
Despite no more than a single contact in the Indian music and film industry, no plan and nothing beyond plenty of aspirations, we had decided to make a quick trip to the fabled city of dreams.
On our first night in Mumbai, we found ourselves in the hip suburban neighborhood of Bandra. Our crumpled salwar-kameezes, heavy backpacks, and tentative steps made us feel completely out of place. But it wasn't long before we realized that people recognised us in this exciting foreign land. It was our first big embrace from a world we knew little about.
