The car service guy from Hell
Okay. This is the ONLY time when I have averted violence and a bad outcome through quick thinking. I have never thought this fast before. I don’t expect to think this fast ever again. It was three years ago. I had broken my leg in a bicycle accident. I was not supposed to put weight […]
Don’t know much about history…

You know […]

Ignored crises and new career horizons
I’m starting this with a semi-personal story. A family member opened a bar (actually, co-opened a bar with partners and her SO). And it was a big hit and people were all excited and they designed a marvelous logo. And in a burst of enthusiasm, the folks connected with said bar (including said family member) […]
December 20, A BIG PROJECT and my small bit
International Day of Peace: This is a big project by the United Nations Artists For Peace –a day of livestreaming (and not-so-livestreaming) in support of peace, social justice and equality. It’s such a big project, that’s what they call it: A BIG PROJECT. Lots of music, the occasional speech, some dance/movement. And then there’s me. So […]
