the new year 2009
| December 31, 2008 | Posted by caroline under personal, storytelling, Uncategorized |
a thousand words, they say, will keep the crazies at bay.. The world is celebrating the New Year, 2009, bringing it in with a bit of subdued joy. The past year has been tumultuous. I’ve come across a poem, and heard a sonnet, both referring to the different economic scandals and political big whigs that…
Toronto Experience: A Scotsman in Toronto
| December 31, 2008 | Posted by caroline under dreaming, humour, storytelling, travels, Uncategorized |
We went on a little bit of a Sunday adventure today. I introduced a dear friend to the Distillery section of Toronto, and came across a Scotsman along the way. This friend is a bit anti-social and I like to surprise him with all the little tidbits of the city he hasn’t been exposed to.…

| December 31, 2008 | Posted by caroline under arts and literature, on indian roots, Uncategorized |
I just watched Slumdog Millionaire with my parents and brother(s). It is referred to as the “feel good movie” of the year.

| December 15, 2008 | Posted by caroline under arts and literature |
I just watched Lives of Others, and I have to tell people to check it out… It’s about state security surveillance of civilians, movers, and shakers in East Germany before the wall fell. It plays out via the timeline of a romantic relationship and a bit more. There are eyes everywhere in this film. Not…

be still..it is a mirage, it is misleading, it stands in your way and you, you must be the force behind your actions. you must stand in the clear, of a desert, with no such thing as walking distance, you must conserve your last sip so that you may survive, and walk fiercely into the…
