Watch

This season of SaReGaMaPa has been absolutely stellar. After the last couple seasons, I had given up on the show for its theatrics and loss of musical quality it was known for. I’m super bummed that Ranjeet Rajwada was ousted last week. The two clips above - “Hungama Hai Kyon Barpa” and “Bijuria” - show two great sides of him. He was the youngest on the show and...

Stories From Pakistan: Poking fun →

the-expat-life: In Pakistan, especially the Punjab area, it isn’t uncommon for people to poke fun at Afghani people, or “pathans” as they are called, for no apparent reason at all. In my entire school of approximately 300 students, there is only one Afghani student in my class. I had been…

46. meditation

so i’m trying to get back into my regular fifteen minutes of meditation (maybe i should bump it up to twenty?) — but regardless, it was understandably a total fail. i couldn’t help but think about how i don’t know what i’m doing this summer and so on. ahh! and by the time i started focusing on my breath and letting go of my thoughts, my annoying alarm started...

45.

it’s nice being home. i have really missed my parents, especially my mom… i appreciate her so much more every day. it will be rather inconvenient not having a car, though. in ann arbor, i could walk almost anywhere or take the bus. here, the public transportation isn’t so good. i’ll probably get bored really quickly so i’m going to try to create some schedule for...

44. all about accessibility

But a recent United Nations report suggests how far Zimbabwe has to go. It is still poorer than any of the 183 countries the United Nations has income data for. It is also one of only three countries in the world to be worse off now on combined measures of health, education and income than it was 40 years ago, the United Nations found. For many rural Zimbabweans, cash remains so scarce that the...

i’ve decided that i like cafe ambrosia. it’s comfortable and familiar. for some reason, it looks a lot smaller from the outside than it actually is. apparently, there’s a basement, but i haven’t wandered down there yet.

42. stream of consciousness

there are so many thoughts floating in my head right now, i can’t comprehend how to begin sorting them out. we had a breakfast session with professor henry to wrap up the class. it was such a good way to tie up what we’ve learned this semester, learning about his life. all the things i take for granted? all those rights? the ability “to have a coffee when I want,” as...

41. focus area

how does “public health and disease policy” sound? think i’m on solid ground — now just need to talk to the advisor. it’s nice to be figuring out things now. also, funny how i’m secretly a science nerd? not that i have taken many chem or bio classes necessarily… i just find it really fascinating and i’m actually pretty glad this can be reflected in...

Jezebel Article Called "Fuck You, Charlie Brown" →

iamlittlei: This entire article is a guy bitching about how awful “A Charlie Brown Christmas” is. He explains that since there are so many more holiday cartoons around now, people should show those to their kids instead of Charlie Brown. “A Charlie Brown Christmas” is my favorite Christmas movie. It’s fucking magical. It’s sweet, simple, and to the point. It denounces commercialism and...
