Creativity unleashed

Creativity unleashed

I am no artist. Never considered myself a good photographer. Or designer. But I do have an eye for artwork that evokes emotion. Ponderance. Today I share with you some images I’ve created — modified drastically from the originals. Deeper colors, richer textures, a little other-worldly. They give me a sense of an altered...

Parents aren’t perfect

Parents aren’t perfect

Your parents aren’t always right. They are not flawless. They’re not always virtuous. They won’t always be there when you need them. They lie. They err. They fight. They sometimes set bad examples. They are unreasonable. They are demanding. They are needy. A lot of times they’re simply selfish. At all times — they’re...

Stop abusing that apostrophe!

Stop abusing that apostrophe!

It’s not tattoo’s unless you’re saying, “The tattoo’s color faded.” It’s not you’re unless you mean you are. It’s not visitor’s unless you’re saying “It’s because of my visitor’s loyalty that I remain motivated to blog.” It’s not taco’s and burrito’s. It’s not “kid’s have fun on the weekend.” It’s not pizza’s or computer’s...

Performance reviews don’t suck

April 23, 2010

don’t suck" width="80"/>

A colleague sent me this article from the Wall Street Journal bashing — nay, ripping apart — performance reviews. While Samuel A. Culbert dismisses this procedure adopted across all companies as a standard measure of employees’ skills/achievements/career trajectory, it’s hard for me to imagine the corporate world doing away with the idea altogether. He...

The Vagina Monologues

April 22, 2010
By Mansi

I finally had the opportunity to attend The Vagina Monologues — a theater production with proceeds to benefit the girls and women of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was a packed house — 250 men and women sitting with eager anticipation. I had heard a lot about the monologues but didn’t quite...

The call of the wild

April 21, 2010
By Mansi

I’ve been talking a lot about our trip to South Africa the past few days. Most of it was because we had a friend staying over — a person we had become friends with during our vacation last fall. It’s funny how you can meet strangers and immediately click sometimes. That’s what happened with...

The calmness within

The calmness within

There are some things that you just can’t take your eyes off of. Like these stone sculptures. There was something about their still presence that captivated me. Someone had spent the time to find the right-sized, right-shaped stones that could be aligned perfectly. Stacked them up. And then left them there for others to...

Sunset on the beach

April 19, 2010
By Mansi

Have you ever walked on the beach around sunset? It seems other-worldly. The mist and the light conjuring up a surreal scene. So fragile. So serene. People soaking in the last rays of the sun. Reveling in the beauty of the moment. Some, like this woman, staring into the endless ocean. Seeking answers …...

Yo-pi mix

April 16, 2010
By Mansi

“Leave the worries of the world behind you” “Center yourself” “Close your eyes and listen to your body” “Think of nothing” “Exhale and let it all go” Words that mean nothing when you’re reading them on your screen. But when you hear them at the end of the day with soothing background music lightly...
