http://lavidalucknow.blogspot.com/2010/03/re-assimilation.html
Living La Vida Lucknow. Because India's cow belt needs better teachers. Thursday, March 11, 2010. Am back in the US now (for the foreseeable future), digesting everything that has happened this past year and (of course), job hunting. My last few weeks in Lucknow are now quite a blur, filled with last-minute school visits, final restaurant experimentations, friends, and denial. It was my own decision, I bought the plane tickets, and I talked about the imminent departure, but I did not internalize any ...

She's only happy in the sun. Hi i’m golriz. Letters for my sons. I’m quite smitten by ali. But, can you blame me? Illustrations cut out of encyclopedias. So THIS is why i want to buy up all the old encyclopedias in second hand stores! Quite spellbound by the remarkable similarity between human neurons under a microscope and city lights photographed from high above. Beautiful photographs of the things people would take if their home was on fire. 1 comment on “findings.”. April 20th, 2013 at 6:13 pm.

She's only happy in the sun. Hi i’m golriz. Letters for my sons. On having my cake. and eating it too. And let me state for the record, there is nothing in the world that can replace that kind of ease-of-heart. But i’m having a hard time believing that. I’m suddenly so conflicted. my heart is heavy and i can’t stop crying. Today, someone (who i *think* was trying to be helpful) bluntly told me that i was trying to ‘have my cake and eat it too’. And you know what? And you know what else? And so tomorrow, ...

She's only happy in the sun. Hi i’m golriz. Letters for my sons. An open letter to new mamas. Over the past year or so, several of my friends became mothers. brand new, first time, mamas. and i’ve found that when i look them in the eye, or read their 3am texts, or hear their fatigued voices on the other end of the line – i remember my own experience so vividly and viscerally. i am suddenly back there with them and i. Dear new mamas,. You are. i know it because i remember the unbridled joy in your voi...

She's only happy in the sun. Hi i’m golriz. Letters for my sons. When dev and i first found out that i was pregnant we decided that while i was in the somewhat fragile early stages, we’d keep the news pretty quiet. which was incredibly hard for both of us to do. one day dev suggested i start writing letters to ‘nori’ (his codename for our baby) so that i could at least have some kind of outlet for my hard-to-contain-excitement. here are those letters:. Where the lovely things are. Hyperbole and a half.

Living La Vida Lucknow. Because India's cow belt needs better teachers. Wednesday, February 10, 2010. Fighting for the Future. Gender inequality in education is always a hot topic, especially in rural villages. However, abstract conversations are insufficient in preparing you for dealing with the sense of learned helplessness first-hand, as I recently experienced on a trip to Mauthri. The following is a profile of one of the girls and what she had to say:. It’s frustrating to me because I was lucky...

Living La Vida Lucknow. Because India's cow belt needs better teachers. Tuesday, December 1, 2009. Attendance at another wedding adds yet a different perspective and provides a better understanding of this wedding business. As a refresher of events attended thus far:. Tilak hosted by the groom’s family, attended by the grooms’ acquaintances. Elizabeth and I were pulled onto the dance floor in front of an audience of a couple hundred, plus 30 men cameras in close vicinity. After all, as a guest, you have ...
