I consider myself a native of the Deep South of the United States, born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and living in Georgia since I was 9 years old. So... Southern Squared.

Tourist In My Birth City

Our voyage to my birth city began with a food truck, and the best part of the trip ended up being at a restaurant that started... with a food truck, of course. Back in June, I went to see the movie "Chef" with my parents. We enjoyed the movie because of the witty banter, the …

Embracing Single Life

My two cultural origins, India and The South, celebrate marriage and the Wedding Day like no other. In both cultures, traditionally, being single in your 30s is met with questions like: "What's wrong with you?" or statements like "You'll find the one" or "It's never too late." As I tell my family, I am happy being …

Sports, Sex and Sizzle: The Musical Bull Durham

When I saw that one of my favorite movies of all time, Bull Durham, was being turned into a musical, I knew I would be there for opening night. Anyone that knows me, knows that I love movies and sports. Some don't know about my love of musicals, theatre and art though. I can sing "Oh What …

Austin, Texas review

I had the pleasure of visiting Austin a couple of weekends ago with my family for my cousin's graduation from UT Pharmacy School. After living in a college town for the past 12 years, I was curious to see this "college city" I had heard so much about. Since Austin is both the state capital …

A year of transition

The past year has been a whirlwind... a new job, then no job, a new city, selling my home of five years and leaving my home of the last 16 years. I left Athens after calling it home since 1996 (except for 2 years in Washington D.C.), and have made Atlanta my new home. When …
