Munshi Represents India on Junior Circuit November 05, 2008 Article by J. Barry Mittan Hounsh Munshi, 14, who was born in Bangkok, Thailand, currently represents India on the Junior Grand Prix circuit. Last season, she finished 28th at the Junior Grand Prix in Chemnitz, Germany, her first international. She later placed 55th at the World Junior Figure Skating Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria in 2008. "I was really lucky to go there," she admitted. "It's great just to be able to come and watch the other good skaters and see how they do things. The international exposure helps me to learn about the stress of competing." This season, Munshi placed 25th in her first event, the ISU Junior Grand Prix in Mexico City. Munshi's parents are from India and moved to Thailand after her older sister was born. After Munshi's birth, the family moved to Sydney, Australia for two years and then to the United States, where the family currently resides. "I'm an Indian citizen," she said, "but I might try to get dual citizenship in the U. S. later."
