Where did everybody go?
| November 13, 2012 | Posted by Hajra under Blogging, People |
I have been blogging for quite some time now. Over two years now. And the best part of the journey is the connections I have made. Or the people I have met through reading blogs and writing blogs.
Rising Above Hate
| June 30, 2012 | Posted by Hajra under Blogging, Dislikes, People |
Just the other day I stopped by Jayme’s post on handling negative comments and left a little comment mentioning how I was once called a terrorist because of my religion. The amazing Jayme went ahead and wrote a post on Promoting Safe Blogging; which you should go read it right away. Really, go read it…
You Spik Inglish?

I really don’t. I do speak English but that really isn’t my native language. And I never speak in English at home. And that shouldn’t be a surprise. For those of you not informed, I am planning to study further (again!) and I got accepted for a Masters Program (my second Masters!). The only hurdle…
It wasn’t all that great…

You know how everyone does a Pet Peeve post and it does really well. Well, I do too many of them. Not a list pet peeve post but just cribbing about the pet peeve I recently came across. So this week I didn’t have anything better to come up with so I did this. I…
Three times two times seven
| March 12, 2012 | Posted by Hajra under Blogging, People, Thankful |
No dirty thoughts; just that I got attacked by the seven link challenge way too many times in the recent past. When I did it last, I vowed never to do it again; because picking up seven posts was the toughest thing I had ever done blogging wise. But then, three lovely people chose to…
Ten years and I still hold on to the Grudge

So, back to my kvetching self this week. Just the other day I entered a crowded elevator and my eyes landed on someone I know from about ten years back. Now if I meet people I know after a span of ages, I am normally the squeaky, all excited person who goes ahead and bear…
Old enough for the online world?

Today, I am getting a little serious. I was reading a post at Linda’s blog. You can read it here. She is a psychotherapist (yes, I hang around with them) and she talks about how Facebook maybe behind the cause of your kid’s gloom. And then we go on to debate whether 13 year is…
Blowing My Trumpet… Loud!

Before going on to actually discussing my problem; do check out the book reviews I have done at Diana Simon’s blog and at Danielle’s blog. If you have noticed I have a bit of a problem these days. I am blowing my own trumpet way too much these days. Now, why am I doing that?…

WHO ARE WE?

OK, I don’t mean your About Me page or your Twitter bio or how you describe yourself on Facebook. I mean, all of it. Let’s take it from the beginning. When I was say younger, people knew me as my elder sister’s younger sister. Yes, one of the pitfalls of being the younger sibling to…
