Traffic on University Ave *************** Something seems to be different this time. Might this be the beginning of a long-awaited and hoped-for change? I don’t know. And I’m too afraid of being hurt again to get my hopes up. Yet, the people are different now. She’s different. He’s different. He’s different. And I am different […]

My Best Friend in the World
Me & Zibin a year ago Ever since I read Anne of Green Gables as a 9 year old, I had dreamed of finding a bosom friend, a kindred spirit who understood me better than anyone else in the world. Someone who would believe in me when nobody else did, someone who would stand by […]

It was a delightful evening with Erich Kunzel, who happens to be a wonderfully charismatic and humorous conductor. There was a good mix of songs (from American Christmas […]

There are 2 articles that I’ve been working on for publication. One of them, An Examination of Project Work, is a more academic/scholarly article meant to be […]
Exam Fever
After a 5-year hiatus, Zibin’s back in school and it’s finals week. It’s been a long time, but some things are still the same. When he studies, it is so easy for him to get into the groove and to stay focused. I’ve always envied that about him. Even from Toronto, I can sense the […]
My Blinds
Woke up this morning and the shadows on my window blinds caught my attention. I’ve always loved the effect of light and shadows. It’s true what they say… you can find interesting subjects for photography practically anywhere and anytime. (There’s already been a few times in the last few weeks when I kicked myself for […]
