Melted crayon art
Preethi found this awesome crayon craft thing in which you melt crayons to create art… So we decided to make our own when I was home for Canadian Thanksgiving.

Letting go, not dropping
The best part about finally being settled into an apartment, and not getting constant blood tests due to blood clots, is being able to settle into a meditation community-routine. I started going a couple of weeks ago, and the very first night I went there was a substitute teacher. On an aside, people have often [...]

If you’ll remember, this past year the NDP led by Layton historically destroyed the Liberal party and received a higher percentage of votes than they ever had (mostly from Quebec).

The Importance of Things – Eddie the Bear
The 30 thing hits you in the most unexpected ways. As Unny pointed out, you feel like you should be a legitimate adult now. After all, I’m now equally close to being 40 as I am to 20. And other people who are 30 are CEOs.. or have 7 kids. I questioned the continued importance [...]

How to make Chai
In honor of President’s Day, I decided to explain how to make chai, since a few people have recently asked me. First chai is Hindi for tea (in case you didn’t know..).

Meditation and running
My meditation practice has dropped off in the past two months and I’m recharging it in the new year. I’ve been practicing for about 1 1/2 years now. And in all that time the quality of my meditation sit has not changed at all. My mind wanders as much as it ever did (or rather, [...]
