id was very...fragmented. I was really excited for the few days prior to it...did lots of shopping and played the part of Santa. In the past I enjoyed doing the house-hopping thing a lot. Seeing everyone on Eid is always the primary objective, but this is the last time that will happen. I am not Hermione Granger. Chand raat was spent making sivvaiyan (and failing miserably, although that is

Reasons why I don't look forward to Ramadan: -Seeing the people you love starving...sallow faces, tired eyes = having your heart broken 100xday. I suppose this also coincides with the major point of fasting, which is empathy. For that reason, the empathy portion could also go in the "Reasons why I love Ramadan" section below. -I think that some people focus too much on the personal spiritual

When people talk to me, I probably only listen for 60% of the time (or less depending on who's doing the talking). For the other 40%, I pretend to follow while really just thinking about food. Although I need to work on that other 40%, I recently found that my ability to seem engaged during a conversation has some benefits and drawbacks that I never expected. Last weekend at a Bengali

When I read the news about MJ on CNN.com, I initially shoved the laptop away from me as far as I could. "Michael Jackson is Dead." He's too young, that's stupid. Damn CNN and their way of resorting to I-reports. When the gravity of it really settled in on me, all I could think of were memories of my brothers and I in our brown carpeted house in Chicago. I think for many of us 80's children,

Making kabobs (chicken or beef) on a George Foreman grill takes all the hassle out of cooking them (in addition to removing a large percentage of its fat)! So You Think You Can Dance is the best thing to happen to my Wednesday nights after the Lost hiatus.

SOPs replaced poetry. Drawing molecular pathways replaced painting. Lately, I've been trying to reverse that. The only issue lies in the fact that it never ends up as what I intended. Right now I'm working on an underwater "landscape," that actually reminds me of the night-time graveyard scene of one of Tupac Shakur's last videos (although I can't remember the name of it). Half of the painting is

The thing about akelapan ( not the state of being a banana, but the state of being alone) is that its screams become a soft hum after a while, barely audible by the soul. After years of living with it, you barely notice its existence. That is until the comfort of companionship strips away that dull groan in the pit of your stomach and leaves you feeling at home. But returning to akelapan is no

In the beginning stages of the election, I viewed the two candidates with as much of an open mind as I possibly could. When Obama had a rally at Georgia Tech in April 2007, I went hoping to gain some idea of who he was and what he stood for. I left with the impression that he was a great politician: well-spoken, engaging, intelligent, and his looks don't exactly hurt his chances among the 30-50

Richard Blais from Top Chef is currently the executive chef for a restaurant in Buckhead called "Home."

This is my favorite dish at Bamboo Garden, only I don't like spending $10 every time I want it. This is a better alternative, plus you won't have to deal with the rude Bengali server with the bad hair and hairy chest:http://www.recipelink.com/msgbrd/board_14/2006/JUL/23784.html--The only thing I would do different is to bake the chicken for 20 minutes, then cover it in the batter and fry it.

I'm turning this thing into a recipe book/blog/general outlet for sharing any new and exciting encounters with food.Ingredients:1) Lasagna noodles: the whole-wheat ones work best to keep you full2) Spaghetti sauce: Ragu Super Vegetable Primavera--has tons of vegetables already in it which adds great texture to the dish(and cuts out half the time it takes to chop veggies on your own)3) 8-12 oz

Every now and then I run (head first) into moments that remind me of how different life is. When you see a good friend you haven't seen in a while and instead of reuniting with them you realize you're actually reuniting with yourself--or who you used to be. Because you realize "who you used to be" is exactly that. Or in other words, an evolution has taken place. For better or for worse?

I'm immersed in an existence I've never known before, and one that I never imagined I would know. Which has its ups and its downs and both are equally as exciting and stale all at the same time. Everything's different, but there's a fear that underneath it all, nothing will change. I have all the motivation in the world, but not even an ounce of drive to follow through with anything.

These days my life is 100% Frima shaadi-planning-time. All this wedding planning got me thinking about my own wedding (which remains theoretical). The location for my ideal theoretical/future/highly-unlikely wedding is obvious: Taco Bell.

I've come to the conclusion that I not only feed off of stress, but I fill my life with as much unneccesary stress as possible. And now that I've had this epiphany, I feel as if somehow I'll actually start the 15 page paper due at 5:30 today. Or not. I think I'll go eat some lunch instead, then cram it out in the last 2 hours. Then instead of working on the paper and presentation due tomorrow

In other news, I went to the doctor today in hopes of diagnosing my recurring chest pains. A few lab tests and an EKG later, I found that Kaiser doctors are lame. They ask you a few questions, refer to the Kaiser software system to categorize your symptoms into whatever group/disease they deem necessary...print a description of what they think your ailment is and BAM, they're

Life's like a game of frogger. The cars speeding by seem scary, and as a result the journey itself can seem pretty impossible at times.Because the journey's so dangerous, we act in different ways to the cars. Some remain stagnant on the side of the road, afraid of experiencing those blows. Others have the courage to take the first step, but ultimately end up as road-kill thanks to a passing

Confusion. On the one hand I'm lucky enough to have a full-time job at one of the most prestigious places of employment for anyone interested in Biology or Public Health. Although my job isn't too exciting, hearing that I work at the CDC makes people react as if I'm working for Jesus or Shah Rukh Khan.

Desi marriage seems to be a futile topic to dwell on since the logic behind it is nothing but a roti-shaped circle of hypocracy and confusion.On the one hand, Muslim children are raised to have limited social interaction with those of the opposite sex. This example was demonstrated when I was invited to a male classmates' birthday party in the 4th grade. My dad clearly explained to me that I

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was amazing. The dark humor was generated for adults and the themes were targeted towards the younger generation, but the overall sense of fear created by the director effected everyone. The subtle humor in the movie was the best part...especially the pedophilic innuendos between Snape and Harry (is pedophilic a word?). Harry Potter: "No, that's private

Childhood obesity has become an epidemic within the United States, with incidence doubling, even tripling over the past few decades. We really don't need studies to prove this fact. The next time you're in public, just take a closer look at the kids around you. I'm sure it'll do more to convince you than reading the hundreds of papers published on the topic. In my Epi class, we've spent hours

The topic on Oprah today was "How to Be a Sexpot." The apparent objective of the show was to teach women how to seek and manifest their "inner sexual goddess" as a means of empowering themselves. Earlier in the show a stripping instructer was teaching Oprah and her guests how to work a pole and dance like a stripper. In addition to learning how to be a ho, women were given sexy make-overs in

It's 1:39 am and I'm in the Tech library. The Coke wore off 23 min ago and the Milky Way never really had any effect. The first floor computer lab is a sea of dark blue screensavers. It's summer. Even Techies allow themselves a summer every now and then.There's a final tomorrow on the Renal System, GI tract, Endocrine System, and Reproduction. Sitting at the 2-screen group computers,

Moving from city to city and job to job is not the same as moving forward. Going from class to class and collecting degrees doesn't seem like the answer either. How do you move forward when you don't even know where to go?If you knew where to go, life would be pretty pointless.

When I first started looking at apartments in Kennesaw 1.5 years ago, anything above $600 would give me a heart attack. It hurts my feelings to know how much more I have to spend on this new apt I found today...but it's:1) beautiful.2) walking distance from the CDC3) MARTA-ble for classes4) gate-accessable to Whole Foods (not that I want to spend $10 on fruit, but it's nice to know there's

I haven't said anything about what happened at Virginia Tech, mainly because I'm not sure how to really put words to it. But a few things about the aftermath have really gotten under my skin.A few people are blaming the media for spending too much time covering the shooting, and not enough time covering Iraq. More people have been killed in Iraq; they too are parents, brothers and sisters

This morning I woke up around 8 am. This was odd considering how my normal wake-up time is 10-11. I didn't even set an alarm today (yeah, I still need an alarm to get up at 10) but something got me out of bed this morning. After getting up, I realized I could do several things: start on the 10,000 assignments due next week, watch the episode of Lost I missed last night, spend countless hours

It's kinda funny when you spend most of your life working towards something, only to find yourself 2 steps away from the finish line and wanting something completely different. It could just be fear in disguise, but I'm much more calm knowing and being so certain about what direction I want my life to go in.It's just turning it around and moving in this new direction that's the tricky part.

I just had an interview at Starbucks that, believe it or not, I managed to bomb. Yeah you'd think a Tech graduate could do interviews, but not in this type of situation.We (three of us total) had a group interview with the manager of the store, a man named "Bobby." Although Bobby should have been a Madeline or Brittney because he was so beautiful! I couldn't focus on formulating articulate

This weekend I got to see Ibad and Hammad for a while. There's something about kids that does strange things to people (I'm not talking about those MySpace predators you see on Dateline, sickos). They have an amazing ability to bring out the best in everyone. If you've ever left a candybar in a car during the summer and later re-discovered it in melted form, that's kind of like the effect kids

It’s difficult to explain why this movie is good. Although the dialogue in the movie was minimal, the actors did an excellent job of portraying the subtlety of emotion in a way that still has a big impact on the viewer. As in real life drama isn’t run by a script or by words, but rather by emotions (afterall, ~60% of our lives consist of silence). But with any book turned to movie, the book is

I went to the Tech library to study today, making this the first time there in a year. When I think back to Tech times 70% of my memories are from that place, which seems kind of sad. But looking back it was actually enjoyable at times. My last finals-all-nighter consisted of me sliding around the 2nd floor cubicle area with my shoes off and playing with a tennis ball at 4 am. So yeah, it did

While reading a paper for class, I ran across some experimental methods that made me want to cry. This study deals with the effects of sleep deprivation on brain cell development in mice. To induce sleep deprivation, a device was set up consisting of a small platform held above a bin filled with water. The idea behind this set up was that REM induced sleep paralysis would cause the mice to fall

I'm no artist, but I can recognize aesthetic genious when I see it and 300 is it. Most people say that they expected more from it, but can't figure out exactly what was missing. I went in knowing I would love it for the visuals, but didn't expect much as far as plot... that's probably why I wasn't dissapointed.It looks like an epic story, and in some respects it is (you can't tell me you didn't

Started volunteering at the Grady ECC two weeks ago. Our primary responsibility is to find stretchers and move patients around in them (complicated, I know). The first shift was really boring since there weren't too many patients coming in, but today was another story.To start off, I took a 20ish year old kid to the urgent care area. He looked completely healthy so I couldn't understand why he

Little Miss Sunshine is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Literally.

Everyone screws up now and then, but sometimes you make mistakes so huge that you don't even recognize yourself while you're making them. The hardest part about these moments and mistakes is that they're so easy to make: it's shocking to realize how quick and easy it is to become a complete foil of yourself (or who you thought you were).Realizing that you've turned into something you never

While explaining how deficiencies in Growth Hormone can effect humans, our MCAT teacher claimed that midgets are infertile while dwarfs are fertile. But according to R. Kelly's "Trapped In a Closet," the midget who had an affair with the cop's wife impregnated her after she found him dancing at a strip joint. This was also the same midget who hid in the kitchen cabinet when the cop came home and
