Conquering My Greatest Fear
| October 31, 2010 | Posted by caroline under myself, on identity, personal, storytelling |
I often tell people that this has been the best year of my life. I’ve never been so consistently happy and emotionally stable. I could say thanks to a few specific people or experiences, but I think it’s mostly thanks to a lot of effort on my part not to fall to pieces. In this…
I loved New York City Until…
| July 16, 2010 | Posted by caroline under lifestyle, myself, personal, storytelling |
…until, New York let me down. Truly, it was a reality check — mesmerized by the streets that looked like Paris spiked with North America, caught up in the people that started conversations because they had nobody to talk to at home, captivated by the zeal of people’s lives….Just like that, I was entranced by…
Casting Director Audition Tips
| February 3, 2010 | Posted by caroline under arts and literature, storytelling, theories |
I met with a group of producers, actors and a cinematographer tonight for a project we’re working on together. We’ve all got high hopes for it as it’s already been noticed by a huge Canadian network. After getting through the business talk of what role each of us would have and production days, we all…
Writing for the love of it
| November 14, 2009 | Posted by caroline under arts and literature, dreaming, lifestyle, myself, personal, storytelling |
God, I miss writing for the love of it. I never make the time these days, not even to write to myself. And when I do write to myself, they’re mangled indulgences text messaged to myself, often observations, regularly my internal conflicts. I am not emotionally nor mentally numbed, no, but I channel it…
The contentious issue of 905ers infiltrating and infesting Toronto
| October 7, 2009 | Posted by caroline under ethics, humour, lifestyle, on identity, storytelling |
Oh those 905ers. You’ve heard of them, you might know a few, you might have actually been one at some point…and they’re talked about far more than you notice. The term 905er has planted itself firmly in Toronto’s slang and in-the-cool jargon, especially in the downtown core. But what exactly is a 905er and why…
CJAD interview with Dan Delmar and the Internet Personality
| March 18, 2009 | Posted by caroline under ethics, internet, myself, on identity, storytelling, technology, Uncategorized |
As some of you may’ve heard, I was interviewed by Dan Delmar Friday night on CJAD radio, in Montreal. I love the guy, we go way back to j-school days at Concordia University, studying journalism. I mean, we are very different from each other in many ways but I think ultimately we share a strong…
on panic attacks in the workplace
| January 20, 2009 | Posted by caroline under personal, storytelling |
For some reason, these tender nerves somehow stand on end even when there’s nothing to lose, nor fear. I found myself cowering over my lunch bag, transported back to my highschool years, hoping that two and a half minute microwave nuke would never come to an end so that I may never face the pending…
the dubai phenomenon
| January 16, 2009 | Posted by caroline under freeform, on identity, on indian roots, storytelling, travels, Uncategorized |
There are parts of Dubai that have been left to the hands of suspended disbelief, a figure of development, capitalism, juxtaposed against a backdrop of browns, greys, and unending streams of men with the glaze of hard work on their faces.
Toronto Restaurant Times
| January 3, 2009 | Posted by caroline under personal, storytelling |
I have a dirty little secret to share. It’s a little embarrassing, because it makes me sound stuck up. I have developed a horrid attachment to GOOD FOOD!!! I think I come off like a sheikha, and my significant other always shakes his head at me because of the way I make choosing a restaurant…
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…
