“Estrangement has truly been, and will always be, the best decision of my life.” It's a dream for my words to be quoted in The New York Times. Thank you Catherine Pearson for interviewing me for "The Pain of Sibling Breakups" in Well. @nytimes.com

I see everyone visiting India but not any of the 8 states in Northeast region.

Have you visited any of the states here? They are the most diverse of all.

Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura are the 8 states in Northeast India.
