The song “Chutney Bachannal” by Chris Garcia, and its music video is an interesting piece because it demonstrates an integration of cultures. When I first saw the name of the artist, Chris Garcia, I thought that he would be a person of Hispanic or Spanish descent. Later, as I watched the video, I realized that Chris Garcia was actually an Indian man. I also found it unusual that an Indian man was displaying his Hindi culture but was singing and gyrating to a Soca song. Soca music, also known as…

The wind blows at the feeble attempt of shelter, constantly swaying the loose tarp scrappily tied between two trees. The rain seeps down through ill-positioned window flaps to create a permeating dankness. The supposed place of refuge from wilderness becomes a suffocating box as the canvas slowly collapses and sinks to the ground. Of course, prior preparation and remembering to bring along the poles can…
