Cosmopolitan thirty-something woman in New York City. I live alone in a spacious studio in Queens, New York, spending time between Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn and Jersey City. I love people, books, movies, theater, movies, exploring hidden gems in New York, and thinking a lot about what happens around me, among many other things... This is the reflection of it all.

I am going to start for real... Taking risks

I haven't blogged in a while...  Why?  Because I have become too critical of myself.  I have told myself that the entry might not have appeal, that I sound self-centered, that my grammar needs reworking (OK, this last one is valid) and I discouraged myself from publishing something.&nb… Read full post »

Swades... Beyond India, a Universal Experience

  I am a movie buff.  I love movies.  But I must admit also that I am an elitist.  And after knowing Indian cinema, and having access to the Independent Indian films via the last guy I dated (now a close friend of mine, but that's another story), I  have also… Read full post »

Listening to Opinions and Being True to Myself

  One day, I read an article from an E-zine, in which the author said that, even though she does feel inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement, she acknowledged two things:  She does not know enough about the issues they are standing for, and she realizes that maybe her true calling… Read full post »

When I was little, I thought I would be married by the time I was 21, because my mother married at 21.  By the time I was 21, things changed a bit.  I was in the United States of America, going to college.  I did not have a boyfriend, and even… Read full post »

Biutiful... Faith, Nihilism, Racism

Caution: Spoilers ahead!

  I wanted to watch the movie because I have become an admirer of Javier Bardem after watching a few movies of his.  I have also watched most of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's movies (21 grams seems to keep eluding me, but I will eventually watch it).

I liked… Read full post »

New Beginnings...

I must confess something... I am going through an existencial crisis.

 Before you think this is a whining post, it is not.  I am rather using this to reflect in a moment of profound re-evaluation of my life.

I am 32 years old and I am at a different place than… Read full post »

Debut

Solitude...

 I remember reading "On my own: The Art of Being a Woman Alone," by Florence Falk.  It is an amazing book and I still re-read it from time to time.  The second chapter talks about women who relish in their aloneness as a space in which their peace, contentment and… Read full post »
