CREATIVITY: A JOURNEY
We're told a lot about focus and how having it is core to creating, innovating and growing in our particular art. But what our well-intentioned motivators leave out is what exactly to focus on. The reason they do that is because no one can tell you where your true intentions lie, only you can do [...]
*clap*clap*clap* Yes. So good. I was utterly impressed. This movie has been recommended to me for a long time but I had no interest in it until my mum started the whole, "We never spend time anymore", "Watch a Hindi show with me", "You're Indian, start watching Indian movies". "Fine. If I watch [...]
Or three days. They say you never miss the water until it's gone. I have to say, two things came to my mind when I turned on the faucet and no water poured out: 1) I am so blessed to be in a country where clean water is accessible 2) I am blessed to be [...]
My sister used to say that to me in a sing-songy voice anytime I cheated in board games. Fine, I admit. I cheat. Sometimes. At games. And sports. But only because I want to win. Not because I want to cheat. It's a compulsion. A disease, if you will. I'm seeking help. I promise. I'm not [...]
Disclaimer: There's a mini review in this post about G.I.Joe: Retaliation so be forewarned. Last Sunday I watched G.I.Joe: Retaliation with a bunch of critics friends. I liked it. I really did.

This is how I want you to conduct yourself in these matters. If you enter your place of worship and, about to make an offering, you suddenly remember a grudge a friend has against you, abandon your offering, leave immediately, go to this friend and make things right. Then and only then, come back and [...]
No matter how filthy something gets, you can always clean it right up. God. Bruce Almighty. Studies show that creative people have a tendency to be messy. Guess I'm really creative then. Cleaning the house thoroughly and regularly is a healthy regiment. I don't know if I'm any different now but Between puberty and graduating from [...]
"I'm just a name on the roster." "No one is indispensable, I can be replaced." "It wouldn't matter if I was even here." "It's only a matter of time before they figure out I don't belong in this team." "Oh God, I'm such a square head in a round hole!" ~Anonymous~ Why is it [...]
This is one of those awkward mother-daughter moments that I've felt compelled to do simply because I can't sleep until I write this. It all started when Ally K told me she had not ever heard of the sex curve. Well, here's a little sex-ed for you, my dearest Ally K. With love. Sumie. The [...]
