American Desi Redefined: April 2015
http://americandesiredefined.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. I Carry You With Me.To The Sound Of The Rain. Ah it rains today. It's a steady drizzle. There is nothing beautiful about this sort of rain. It simply permeates every available space, seeping deeply and coating everything with a fine sheen of wet. I'm not a fan of this sort of weather at all although rain, the kind that you hear upon the roof of your home, I love. This is just a good reminder to me how no one is truly gone, are they? Monday, April 13, 2015. I've been trying to blo...

Wednesday, August 26, 2015. Amar Shonar Bangla.(My Beloved Bangla).A Pictorial of My Birth Country. In case you've never ever seen the flag, there you go. A visual knowledge bomb has dropped on your butt. Now keep in mind, I was born not in the Capital of Dhaka, but rather the port city of Chittagong. Here it is for y'all on the map. See how I cropped? That light blue is the Bay of Bengal, in case you didn't realize.:. Also see that blue circle? But be warned that as soon as you land at the airport the a...

American Desi Redefined: February 2015
http://americandesiredefined.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 11, 2015. I Am the Face that You Fear. You spot her walking towards you down the street, covered, modest, her hair hidden behind a swath of fabric. You can only see her features but you ignore the peaceful look upon it. You ignore the smile that she may cast your way if you catch her eyes. In an instant, you've judged her. You will only see the cover on her head though, won't you? And in those moments as she's moving closer towards you, you will only recall all the endless reports on ...

American Desi Redefined: December 2014
http://americandesiredefined.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 22, 2014. SoWhat you do for Xmas? Note: Before you read further, know that this blog happened organically. I had no thought of what I was going to write, hoping that somehow inspiration would hit, as it normally does. And I'm happy to announce it has and off I go.but I just needed to be honest from the get-go.]. We're at the home stretch! The Ice Rink in WH. I often wonder what other people around the world are doing just around this time of year. With the full understanding that not...

American Desi Redefined: November 2014
http://americandesiredefined.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Just Call me Bitter Betty. This is my diatribe. I do this every few years. I need to do this. Everyone needs to do this. I have the outlet of blogging to purge while others may find other openings. Lately I’ve been bottling things up more and more but I know my self-destructive tendencies which make it even more important that I simply type out my inner thoughts. So here I go:. I am a nice person. I am a kind person. I am ‘human’. I am not perfect. I repeat: I am a kind person.

American Desi Redefined: October 2016
http://americandesiredefined.blogspot.com/2016_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 24, 2016. Rube's Musings: Just Add Water and Stir.but Don't. I’ve been asked a question (a few times) through my life in various social/online settings that always confounds me and today I’ve taken the time to really think about it as well as address it. Here’s the question:. What do you like to do/What be your hobbies? I’m lumping these together although I understand the nuanced differences between the two questions. Laziness is a total disease and should be diagnosed and treated. Most a...

American Desi Redefined: Ramadan '16 - Preping for the Hunger Games
http://americandesiredefined.blogspot.com/2016/06/ramadan-16-preping-for-hunger-games.html
Sunday, June 5, 2016. Ramadan '16 - Preping for the Hunger Games. It’s 7:41pm and Magrib (sunset) is still a good hour plus away. A storm, like an unexpected and unwanted guest, has been threatening to descend for quite a while now but has yet to arrive. I believe like myself people have been watching the skies trying to gauge whether to venture outside and like myself they are deciding to play it safe and stay home. And it would have stayed that way had today not been a bit significant. Now my mother sa...

American Desi Redefined: September 2016
http://americandesiredefined.blogspot.com/2016_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 27, 2016. Naps and a Bagel (or 3). Last night, I think most of the world tuned in to watch the clusterfuck that was the first Presidential debate between Hillary and Trump. I could write something pretty scathing in description of Trump and his idiocy, but I shall refrain…for now. Suffice it to say that this, in my humble opinion, was no contest and no surprise at all as to who would trounce whom. In case you’re not good at math that’s pretty much 2 hours of sleep. As in if I get two h...
