My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • So, most of last week I was pretty exhausted and felt totally overwhelmed by everything. This weekend I vowed to settle myself and to get my schedule reset so that I could better accomplish what needs to be done. Then, as I was looking at my calendar, I realized that I needed to remove my NuvaRing. TMI? Well, it’s important to know because once I take it out, I have about two days…

  • It’s hard to believe yet another year of the film festival was upon us. With all of the busyness going on, I wasn’t even sure about attending any films as I can barely stay awake past 8pm during the weekdays. In past years, I’ve gone from attending around 10 films over the week-long festival to choosing one particular venue to choosing a few that are at reasonable times to attend. 🙂 So, this…

  • want to find a new job are the ones when I am reminded just how immature, irresponsible and petty this place is. Sometimes I am unhappy with my colleagues and other times it is with my students. Today or rather yesterday, it is my students. They don’t want to do homework. They are given an entire week to accomplish 5 readings (30mins a day), 5 Pinterest pin posts, and a discussion post over…

  • Just before the summer holidays one of my colleagues was wearing these amazing shoes and I asked about it. It was also just around the time that I was reading _Born to Run_ to motivate myself to really get into running. Since I love toe socks (pictured in the _Born to Run_ post), I was totally fascinated by these shoes! Before my summer accident I had great plans of running outside in Thailand…

  • I have a few thoughts mulling around, but no time at the moment to get to writing on it… So, instead, here are some photos from life here in the crazy Dhabs! [shashin type=”photo” id=”6243,6242,6241″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”]

  • Lately, I’ve been considering a new future blog. It won’t happen until I finish my PhD because really I don’t need yet another blog or way to use up my time…. However, I’m torn. I’ve got this blog, my professional blog and started an ADPOV blog that lies dormant. I barely keep this one up and my poor professional blog has long been neglected…. Still…I’ve long wanted to have an adoption blog. Yet,…

  • There are times when I am reminded to stop and take stock of my life and relationships. Yesterday (Friday) was one of those moments… R went out to swim on the roof and came back shortly after leaving as he didn’t realize that they had implemented a new security system where we have to use our parking cards to access the pool. On his way back he heard some commotion in an apartment…

  • Yes, that’s right, it’s that time of year again – when the weather starts to break from the intolerable heat and people come out of summer hibernation. It’s also a great time to plant seeds to get them germinating for harvest in a couple of months when the weather is cool, but glorious! Now that I’m starting to actually be able to enjoy my weekends and relax a bit, I decided it was…

  • It took me quite a while to complete my latest masterpiece at pottery class, but at last my hard work has paid off! Although I have no real intention of showing my work at the next pottery exhibit, I took on the theme “Teapots” for one of my projects. While I had made a version before, I wasn’t satisfied with it as it has been moved to a shelf rather than being used…
