Humanity
Through the eyes of another dimension.
Identity, The definition of identity is who you are, the way you think about yourself, the way you are viewed by the world and the characteristics that define you. An example of identity is a person's name. The difference or character that marks off an individual from the rest of the same kind, selfhood.

Lets Eat.
My journey with food has been my longest and most tumultuous of relationships. When it was good , I was embracing in all hedonistic fantasies that happily clouded my vision for decades. I failed to accurately see what it was really doing to me, I ate with out regard, remorse or regret. Coming from a culture where to refuse an offering is a huge insult i grew up just going with the flow and doing as told. During those teenage/hormonal years were i was combating a changing body from the inside and out along with shock of having a period and coming to terms with the fact that this was to be my life sentence without the possibility of parole for the next twenty to thiry years, I foun solice and comfort in pan dulce or Hostess lemon pies. I showed equal love from flour and corn tortillas as well as a massive variety of breads. Life was good...or so I thought.

Christmas; The double edged sword
Ah, Christmas time, The season for giving- Not just giving gifts but giving joy. The holiday season is a flurry of presents, relatives, snow, and songs- Its the time where families gather and play games, Where siblings argue over things that happened a decade ago and still proceed to sit down at family dinner as if they hadn’t been at each other’s throats twenty minutes before.

The Power of a Word
Labels define us; some find freedom in theirs, while others feel restricted. For me, having one opened up buried inner strength I had long forgotten I possessed. One word, six letters, revealed that I’m beautiful just the way I am. That word was: Empath.

Spirituality Is Not Arrogance
One of the best way to fool ourselves is to be too sure about our opinions. It’s true that many things are ‘wrong’, that we could’ve done them in a better way. But that’s where we are right now. There’s no need to give a meaning to our ‘spirituality’ out of the unfortunate things we see in the world.

As of last Night
What is this story as of last night? The one of the wounded, perishable essence of the existence or the one of the discriminatory, alive version of the existence? There are only two proven ways to know whether we are here or there. We can only be alive or in death.

How did we get here?
Sometimes I look at where we are, and I honestly wonder how we got to this absolute mess. Im not just talking about the last few years either. I remember a quote going round a while back, and im paraphrasing here, that “9/11 happened and then nothing got any better” and you know what? That’s not too far off.

Hair Tales
Let me tell you the story of curly-haired girls before it was fashionable. I am naturally curly and have never straightened my hair even once. As a child, I have been called many names for having this wild hair - Bhadrakaali, Parachi, Aadivasi et al (These are some caste-based slurs in my mother tongue). All these insults were not from strangers, but from within the family. It is one of the reasons why I still have to struggle with self-confidence. Everything starts at home.
