		<description><![CDATA[Pine Creek Gorge-in a part of the country far from any shopping mall or four-lane freeway-is a 64-kilometer passage through the northeastern wilderness that drops nearly 442 meters at its deepest point. It&#8217;s known as Pennsylvania&#8217;s Grand Canyon, and though it may not be nearly as large as Arizona&#8217;s it is certainly grand. The entire [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After I immigrated to the United States in October 2006, one of the first things we did was take a bus trip across the country. My wife and I traveled on a Greyhound bus from New York to Los Angeles, taking larger stops at Washington DC, St. Louis, Denver, Grand Canyon and Las Vegas and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The average American sources his or her diet from that same long distance-2,100 kilometers away. It&#8217;s not the mileage itself, say environmentalists and some health experts. It&#8217;s that the farther the food travels, the less fresh it is and the more fuel is used to transport it. But many people are changing their ways, going [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From indoor cricket to a Hindu temple, pan shops, dosa and biryani stalls, and saris in the store windows, this eastern U.S. suburban area could be an Indian municipality. Driving down Oak Tree Road in Edison, New Jersey, is like going through Lajpat Nagar market in New Delhi-albeit with some key differences. Chock-a-block with sari [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every spring, around the same time as the Baisakhi festival in Punjab, college students from across America gather in a historic theater a few blocks from the White House. Some hail from India, some from Pakistan, and others from New Jersey, but today they are united in a common purpose: bhangra. You can spot them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the late 1950s, American car companies were pushed out of India by unfriendly trade and import policies, and the passion for American cars ebbed. It lingered longer in Bollywood, where superstars like Dharmendra sang paeans to the Chevrolet Impala and every hero roared onto the screen in some gleaming steel chariot designed in Michigan.

		<description><![CDATA[A few decades ago, the adoption scene in India was inactive and one-sided at best. Raising children not born in the family was considered unacceptable by most Indians, and even though some Indians wanted to adopt, most orphaned children went abroad. But 1984 brought the country&#8217;s first adoption regulations, and by 1989 a quota system [...]]]></description>
