Do you know this about me? December 24, 2014. December 24, 2014. 8220;I was trapped. Inside my own body.”. I woke up with a start. My whole body was covered in sweat. 8220;You were having that nightmare again.”. 8220;Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. You are telling me you are always trapped in your body? 8220;Yeah.”. 8220;And, that too, in a hospital? 8220;Yeah.”. 8220;Dude, that is depressing.”. 8220;Maybe, you should go to a therapist or something.

Do you know this about me? March 10, 2014. The only memory of this year’s women’s day that I have is my intern telling me, in a very loud voice and with gusto, to believe in myself and fairy tales, and some prince charming thing. The rest of the day was a blur of patients, spinals, epidurals, GA, coffee and laughter. Whoever came up with this day anyway? The capitalist companies who just wanted to please their target customer audience? I want to remove all the unwanted hair on my body. I want fireworks, ...

Stories from the Middle East. How to be Married? Ramazan in Bangladesh (a blast from the past). July 19, 2014. This is a post a wrote about fasting whilst I was working as a VSO volunteer in Bangladesh in 2009. Ramazan was both completely different and entirely the same in Bangladesh. This was the first time I’ve ever tried to fast, and as you’ll see, I had mixed success. I’m happy to report that my experiments with fasting since then have been much more successful! Within minutes of the. Fasting), I’d b...

loveinistanbul | Love in Istanbul

https://loveinistanbul.wordpress.com/author/loveinistanbul

Stories from the Middle East. How to be Married? How we tried to reach cross-cultural wedding nirvana. October 1, 2014. Today the very last of our wedding guests FINALLY pushed off, ten days after the day itself, and suddenly we are left alone to contemplate this whole being married malarkey. Scary stuff. Not that I begrudge these guests their stays with us: their presence made the wedding. I’ve never felt prouder or more loved than … Continue reading →. September 16, 2014. September 10, 2014.

What it’s like to be a gelin in Turkey | Love in Istanbul

https://loveinistanbul.wordpress.com/2014/08/06/being-a-gelin

Stories from the Middle East. How to be Married? What it’s like to be a gelin in Turkey. August 6, 2014. I’m just back from another fairly breathless trip to E’s hometown for Bayram (Eid ul-Fitr). Like the last time we went, the week was filled with visiting and being visited, elaborate breakfasts, incredible picnics, going to weddings and henna nights, and (this time at least) a startling amount of dancing (more on this later). Ah, bizim gelin geldi. The Turkish concept of being a. Being a card carrying...

She's back in chile. The altos and bajos of gringa life in south america. Andrés and I frequent Plaza Ñuñoa as we live relatively close by.

Plaza Ñuñoa includes a theater, the municipality building, parks and a playground, a parking garage, and many bars and restaurants. The Municipality of Ñuñoa in Plaza Ñuñoa. Enter your em...

Balanced Soul: December 2014

http://1balancedsoul.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

A Canadian girl finding balance living in a traditional Indian life. Monday, December 29, 2014. My mother arrived from Canada with my wish list for baking, craft supplies and a few items for the kids stockings and a toy I thought they'd each enjoy which is plenty for a two and three year old yet I found us out searching the local bazaar (market) for more. I desperately wanted more, more stuff to put under the tree. There was nothing! Thursday, December 18, 2014. Bhakti the path of love. I started the Bha...

Observações de uma brasileira sobre a cultura indiana do Punjab e Religião Sikh. Sábado, 4 de julho de 2015. Caminho da Índias - verdade x mentira. Indianos e descendentes apontam falhas em 'Caminho das Índias'.". Foi o que eu li no auge da novela. Isso é coisa de indiano que é moderninho, mas todo mundo sabe que os conflitos representados na novela existem sim. Coloquei a matéria que encontrei e com todo o respeito dei minha opinião abaixo de cada parágrafo. Especial para o Diário OnLine. Segundo ele, o...
