Anjali Research Paper

Improved Essays
I’ve known Anjali my entire life with the exception of one minute- the minute I’m never going to let Anjali live down because that minute makes me the older one between the two of us. But throughout my life, I have realized that Anjali is an explorer and an adventurer. She always wants to try out new things.

Being twins is really hard. We are expected to do the same things all the time, and whenever we do, we are constantly compared even though we don’t want that to be the case. This makes trying things out that lie in the other’s field of interests or specialties pretty scary for us because we don’t want to be compared or thought of as a failure.

I got my sense in art, be it drawing or painting, from our mom. Anjali, on the other

I became interested in economics and interviewed for our high school’s Fed Challenge team because of her influence. Because of her, I am always ready to try new things. I know she also has this impact on other people as well.

Not only have I seen her inspire other students in Fed Challenge, but also dancers. Coming into high school, we joined the South Asian American Student Association (SAASA), an organization that annually hosts a charity performance at the end of the school year. We formed a dance group which consisted of both experienced and inexperienced dancers. Although the experienced dancers caught onto the tough choreography faster, the new dancers were struggling. Anjali was always there to help them, even after the practice hours to ensure they catch up. Needless to say - our group performed well in SAASA.

After growing up side by side with her, I am having trouble describing my sister in a few words. However, if I had to sum it up, I would say that my twin sister is my greatest friend. She is dependable and loyal. She is curious and persistent. She is willing to help others no matter the circumstances. I am sure she will be a great asset and student, wherever she

    With Hinduism being the oldest religion known to man, there are many myths, epics and other texts that have held their own over time and are still very relevant today. There are many aspects of Hinduism that make it unique. A particularly intriguing aspect is that there are so many Gods who play a very important role in the countless stories that are told. As I read more about the Gods, I became curious as to why some of them are worshipped in the first place, so I began to read their stories. I found the story of Ganesh to stand out to me, since I have seen many images and statues of this God due to my mother’s love for Hinduism.…

    Hinduism is a system of interwoven cultural concepts and religious beliefs and therefore its scriptures play an important role in not just guiding its practice but in allowing us to reflect upon the unique culture it was born from. Two well-known hymns, “The One as Creator” (“Nasadiya Sukta”) and “Hymn of the Primeval Man” (“Purusha Sukta”), are creationist myths which describe the framework of hierarchy for the cosmos and for man. These hymns are found in the Rig Veda, 10.129 and 10.90 respectively, and are part of the earliest text of the four sacred Vedas. There is no author to account for as the Vedas were initially passed down through oral tradition until they were recorded as texts and disseminated during the Vedic Period, 1500-600 BCE (Murphey 29). “The One as Creator” sets up the cosmic order by framing…

    Hinduism is a religion that encompasses many different aspects. Under current Indian laws, the term “Hindu” is merely a term to specify those who do not subscribe to a handful of the modern most popular religions (Oxtoby, 273). The religion originated somewhere around 1750-1500 and is centered on the idea that the universe breathes in and destroys a number of worlds, and then breathes out and creates new worlds (Class Notes). The idea is that humans do not want to get stuck in the cycle of creation and destruction; they want to get out of the rotation and achieve moksha, or liberation. The practice of Hinduism includes the acceptance and worship of numerous deities, including the god Shiva.…

    The British East India Company, in the first 50 years of its existence, had no interest in the development of colonies, preferring to engage in trade only, following the pattern set by the Portuguese. This pattern was changed by 1650 when the power of the old guard British royalist merchants was broken, and a new class of merchants wrested control of the Company. They followed the pattern set by the colonial mer- chants in American colonies and the West Indies, and sought to establish a network of colonies linking England, Africa and India in a complicated network of exchange relationships. The Mughal Empire declined in the first half of the eighteenth century.…
