    Miami, FL is a place that has to be felt rather than seen or heard—and by that I mean observed beyond all senses, with mind, body, heart, and soul. I’ve been entrenched in it my whole life, a little Cuban princesita not so different from all the rest, but it’s only as I’ve gotten older that I’ve fully felt like a part of a community, a culture. I feel it when I talk, casually, to the elderly cashier at my neighborhood grocery store, a familiar combination of Spanish, English, and what many call cubanismos, phrases with meanings that simply will not tolerate literal translations, spilling forth. I feel it while seated at a table of no fewer than four relatives on any given evening, judging the quality of a restaurant on the quality of their flan de caramelo or their café. I feel it, too, in the colorful songs of Ernesto Lecuona and the ardent verses of José Marti, but most of all in the anecdotes of my grandparents and great aunt, the nostalgia of long-settled immigrants, echoes of sorrow, shared over dominoes and rice and beans and coladas of espresso.…

Foods such as moles which is a combination of dried chiles, nuts, seeds, vegetables, spices and chocolate or there’s flan which is a rich, creamy, and delicious desert. But must people imagine Hispanic food to be extremely spicy, and yes that’s true there are many recipes that spicier than flan such as chili which is made out of beans and various spices. But authentic Hispanic food is not the only type of Spanish food but it has given us the inspirations for Texmex, Taco bells, and Taco buses and Tampa without Taco bus is like New England without the…

    THE BEGINNING The renaissance in modern Indian Literature begins with Raja Ram Mohan Roy. The infiltration of western culture, the study of English literature, the adoption of western scientific techniques, gave a jolt to India's traditional life. It shocked us into a new awareness, a sense of urgency, and the long dormant intellectual and critical impulse was quickened into sudden life and the reawakening Indian spirit went forth to meet the violent challenge of the values of modern science and the civilization of the west. Ram Mohan Roy's interests and inquiries ranged from the rights of women and the freedom of the press to English education, the revenue and judicial systems in India, religious toleration and the plight of the Indian peasantry. He could be named as the first of the Indian masters of English prose. He wrote a brief autobiographical sketch on request.

The shair and other poems (1830) is a great contribution to the level of 'Gorboduc' in English literature. Michael Madhusudan Dutt was equally a talented writer. His Meghanad Badha is a great Bengali epic and he wrote in English The captive Ladie. There followed a lot of writers. 'Derozio's men' who aspired to become eminent in the field.
