For the same reason I despise Hallmark holidays when you are expected to profess your love, when you should do it everyday, I loathe New Years resolutions, because you shouldn't wait to make those resolutions; fulfill them when you think of it, whether it is January 1 or September 14. And speaking of Hallmark Holidays, I saw …
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."

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 …

Getting ready for the Suits & Sneakers Gala 2013!

I've been lucky to meet some great people, network, and even find a job with a great company because of the Suits & Sneakers Gala. I enjoy …
