My father is from India, but he never tells me much about the area. Have you ever been there?
Yes, I have been there many times!  Interestingly, 3 bodies of water lie next to India - the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal 
Wow, that's pretty cool. I visited the Indian Ocean once when I was a kid. I barely remember it though. Do you know the population of India? I heard it's a big place.
It is very big!  In fact, it is the seventh largest country in area - and it has a large population of 1.2 billion people
