Bhanu Bhatnagar is your textbook Third Culture Kid. Born in Sweden to Indian parents, Bhanu was raised between Stockholm and Delhi and has lived around the world. A former journalist for over a decade, Bhanu is now in charge of press and media relations for the World Health Organisation's regional office for Europe. In this episode, Bhanu talks about the challenges in finding belonging as a ‘brown kid in Sweden’ and then later as a ‘foreigner in India’. He also shares his struggles with not always feeling ‘Indian enough’ and how it was a white woman who introduced him to his culture’s practise of yoga. Bhanu says the ancient practise was a "lifesaver and therapist" that helped him through the trauma of coming out as a gay man to his parents and the feelings of guilt that came with it.  Recommended reading / watch list Power of Now - Eckhart Tolle  Indian Summer: The Secret History of the End of an Empire - Alex Von Tunzelmann  Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts  The God of Small Things - Arundhati Roy Autobiography of a Yogi - Paramahansa Yogananda  Third Culture Kids 3rd Edition: Growing up among worlds - Ruth E.
