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.
in my thoughts
| January 9, 2009 | Posted by caroline under Uncategorized |
geographically and mentally displaced, distanced, dragging vines and strings across a globe, pulling knots tying bows tangling with broken hair conditioned to leave and depart, upon arrival, leaving pieces in too many places, behind couches and in strangers faces returning to find that buildings have been constructed on the ground once called home, cranes climb…

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.…
Slumdog Millionaire review, a prettily painted picture

I just watched Slumdog Millionaire with my parents and brother(s). It is referred to as the “feel good movie” of the year. As the winner of the Toronto International Film Festival’s Cadillac Award, with high ratings from pretty much every self-proclaimed movie critic I know on the ground, I went in with my expectations reined…

my struggle to live beyond the 4 walls of an office begin here. stifled and uninspired, i awaited my departure from the environment, anticipating the day i would get laid off or come across my dream spot (or gold-bearing partner, whichever came first that would emancipate me from the 9 to 5 shackles). it’s not…
back here again

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…
death song
| November 25, 2008 | Posted by caroline under dreaming, freeform, storytelling, Uncategorized |
The trains are each arriving, one by one, they part ways with my eyes, we drag them along not looking too far, I wait for the smoke and I watch for the grind, I expect a stop and sudden halt, I wonder who it is this time and if they’ll write about it in the…
