@Lachman: You're absolutely right and I love that quote... so true.
@Noman: I am always amazed with the talent that you see around the city.
Subway musings
I travel to and back from work everyday on the subway… or the TTC, whatever you may call it. And one of the best parts of my ride is the moment that I step in and out of the subway. I promise that it's not because of some secret rush hour death wish or that I like to stare at random strangers ...
What a fantastic resolution Sy! Good luck with it. There'll be many who cheer you on when you cross the finishing line... :)
Welcome 2009!
I have a really really good feeling about the upcoming year. Despite all the predictions of doom and gloom, economic crises, job losses and falling real estate prices, I have never felt more positive about a new year. I look towards the future with an inexplicable sense of hope and optimism. I...
It's refreshing to note that idealism isn't a Utopian dream in today's cynical world. I wish there were more politicians (and activists) who approached their work with similar zeal.
The Parliamentary Struggle: Glen Pearson
I admire Glen Pearson for the work he did in Africa and his desire to bring change through politics. I see a lot of me in Glen and may be that's why I admire him. For many years I have been involved in issues related to poverty, women, children and empowering them through Education. I started ...

I'm wary of remakes in general and feel they tend to kill the original a la Ram Gopal Varma's 'Sholay.' It'll be interesting to see if this one turns out to be any different.
NRI Filmmaker remakes Amar Akbar Anthony
For my generation i.e. those kids who grew up in the 70's and 80's watching blockbuster masala flicks, there are certain films that hold a legendary place in our hearts and minds. Speaking for myself, and I'm sure for a larger group as well, one of those films is definitely Manmohan Desai's A...
Love a good fish curry recipe and I'll be sure to try this out! The pic looks enticing enough... Your recipe mentions 1-2 cubes - what cubes are these?
Hot & Sour Fish Curry
This Malay-inspired fish curry is definitely one of my favourites. So much so, that it was sure to be on the menu when ever I would come home for the holidays during my days in college. With just a few ingredients, and even lesser of an effort, it’s amazing how wonderfully delicious this dish i...
