On my mind...
To Bombay we will go!
Wheeeee!!!! I am coming home after a long 3.5 years. I just booked my tickets to Bombay from Dec 20th - Dec 30th. Yes, its ten days only but even then I’m psyched and it just means that I’m going to be doing very little sleeping.
I’d love to meet and make some new [...]
Musings
I just realized that I am incredibly envious of people who figure out their place in the system. By this I mean, getting the education, the masters, the job and climbing up from there - never once questioning the other possibilities or lives. There are so many “jobs,” “vocations” and “work” in this world that [...]
My mometous year!
2008 is my momentous year!
Look what I received in the mail!! My voter registration card and my passport.
Applying for a a passport was such an easy process. All I had to do was take my Citizenship Certificate and my Drivers License to the nearest post-office that processed passports. I got my passport photos taken at [...]
Thoughts on the current economic climate
Warning: I’m about to sound incredibly naive.
The current economic climate is a definite damper on the mood of the country. When I talk to people, friends, colleagues .. I wait to hear them say, it’s all going to get better. But they shake their heads in dismay and shurg. And then I wonder - are [...]
Advise me on your organization/ project management skills
My job mostly involves thinking/ consulting and being held accountable for it. Knowing my client’s problems, understanding the landscape and offering possible solutions that will meet the clients objectives. Of late, I’ve been tasked with work that involves a teensy bit of project management/ execution: problem solving on the go. And not million dollar client-related [...]
Palin reminds me of Dolores Umbridge
This stormy weather outside is inspiring dark thoughts inside my head today…
For those of you unfamiliar with Umbridge, she was the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher in Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix. It is unanmious opinion that Umbridge’s era at Hogwarts is ‘characterized by cruelty and abusive punishments against students.’ Stephen [...]
Onwards to becoming an American!
I just feel like I should write something today. In exactly 12 hours, I will have taken my oath of allegiance to United States of America and will officially become an American citizen. The idea of not requiring a visa to visit majority of countries is something I’m looking forward to getting used to. I’m [...]
All we can do is keep breathing
This post was inspired by the Ingrid Michaelson song that I’m listening to right now, Keep Breathing.
I recently exchanged my mac desktop for a ibook (laptop) with my boyfriend (so the computer is still in the family) But something went wrong as we were trying to transfer our belongings into our new homes and as [...]
25 gifts for myself
Tomorrow is my 25th birthday, (28th june)
This whole week was a little weird. I haven’t been feeling too talkative and was just a teensy bit disenchanted with life. Existential crisis of sorts, I guess. I was also very depressed because I couldn’t find the right sort of gift for myself. There’s something about turning 25 [...]
Tim Walker Inspiration
Imagine my delight when I saw Tim Walker’s 3 Limited Edition prints are for sale at the Design Musuem UK! It was really hard for me to not go beserk and buy all three, instead I picked this one.
This photo-essay with Lilly Allen was shot in India. I remember because I have still saved [...]
