No I'm not Indian, just kinda white. But I do take a lot of my spiritual practice from Hinduism.

well 10 minutes at a time is a good start. Just keeping doing that and it will progress. I think something we often do is tell ourselves.. "oh I can only do it for this long, or I get distracted too much" that kind of thing. We sort of think there will be a point where we are doing it, instead of trying to do it. But we have that mixed up, when we are "trying" to do it, we are doing it. And it's all a practice. Even the best monks minds wander during meditation, and I really believe that even 30 seconds or 10 minutes, you will still receive benefits from doing it.

Once we get over that " Am I doing it right? " bit then I think it really helps to deepen our experience. That helped me a lot.

Good luck with it, and keep it up, I love to hear about peoples experiences with this, it really makes me excited.
