Postcards from LWC: Akash Sasane 2021-02-02 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Akash Sasane. By Dakota Smith ISP would like to introduce Akash Sasane from India. The hardest adjustment he had to make when moving to America was getting acclimated and finding his way in a new and different cultural setting. When asked why he chose to attend Lindsey Wilson, he said he felt a connection here and that people are friendly and nice. He said that his favorite place he has been to in America was Moab, Utah because of Arches National Park. He said he was awestruck when he visited because of its beauty. His favorite Indian tradition is Namaste, which is a non-contact greeting practiced in Southeast Asia and India. Namaste would be a great greeting to practice during COVID-19.
