I loved New York City Until…

…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…

HotDocs 2010: And Everything is Going Fine (a documentary on Spalding Gray)
| May 3, 2010 | Posted by caroline under arts and literature, media |
Truthfully, there are three HotDocs 2010 documentaries I’d been most eagerly awaiting: “And Everything is Going Fine,” on monologist Spalding Gray, “Anne Perry – Interiors,” about the crime writer’s murder past, and “Blank City,” an exploration of punk rock in 1970s New York. So far, I’ve caught only one out of the three films —…

i see your face turn to gray, and your grin start to smart, there’s a storm inside your head unhinging, pillaging and provoked. you’ve whipped away your umbrella, wading, voraciously, searchingly, in moonlit waters, inviting a chill into your bones. willingly, now, your mind succumbs to fever, and you stand up to the centre of…

Yesterday was the first time I’ve gone grocery shopping in Dubai. Previously, I’d quickly grabbed snacks at Spinneys and stopped off at the Carrefour for necessities, but nothing more. And, though Spinney’s is apparently good for meats, the rest of the items are overpriced. So we headed onwards to Lulu Hypermarket and started picking at…

After getting through the business talk of what role each of us would have and production days, we all…
A visit to the MOMA: American Stories: Paintings of Everyday Life
| December 30, 2009 | Posted by caroline under arts and literature, travels, Uncategorized |
I visited the MOMA (Metropolitan Museum of Art) today and wandered around this massive building for almost three hours. We started with Egyptian art and mummies, moving on to the Byzantium period and then European art. We were not so into these exhibits, not till we reached, maybe, the European Renaissance section.
