& he loves me at my worst. I’ll never leave him.

Sitting at Starbucks studying and waiting for A to pick me up, when a young woman approaches me and asks if she could use my phone charger to charge her phone. Of course I said yes.
I didn’t want her to think I was going through her phone pictures/files so I gave her my charger with the white thing to stick into the wall outlet next to me. She looked really flustered so I asked if she needed to use my phone in the mean time, to which she replied “no, i’m actually a little lost and need to get to a furniture shop in new west”. I told her I could google map it for her on my laptop - she was extremely relieved. After figuring out how to get there, she kept insisting I take a $50.00 bill from her. I obviously didn’t take it, but at this point I realized the generosity and appreciative attitude of Canadians. I love this country.

My mom’s very first text message sent during her work break & sent to her favourite child.
The best part of her msg was how she used the word “hey” instead of “hi”.
Soon we will be strangers.
No, we can never be that. Hurting someone is an act of reluctant intimacy.
We will be dangerous acquaintances with a history.

Best friend and I were sitting so close to the legendary Bollywood actor and human rights activist, Shabana Azmi. This was a very low key event and we were very fortunate to have been a part of the discussion. Azmi talked about a number of significant topics, ranging from how women are portrayed in ‘item numbers’ in Bollywood songs to how society defines masculinity and what part that plays in issues like gang rape. On a more positive note, she discussed how India is a progressive nation and there are many steps taken in the right direction. After the New Delhi gang rape, a women’s movement was initiated and it was empowering to see men stand by the rights of women all over the world.
On an even lighter note, I was trying to take an outfit of the day post yesterday before the event, but I clearly failed. Nonetheless, I like this picture because my hair looks good.

My sissy came back from her trip to New York last night! No one knows me better than her. But, honestly, Milano cookies were the best part of the gift. I use to eat these religiously when I stayed with her for 3 weeks in New York last summer. After a day and night of, what felt like, running around, we use to hop in bed, open up Netflix and eat these heavenly made cookies.
But, obviously, I love the clutch too. Red and gold? To die for. Trump’s daughter is a savvy business woman.

Anonymous asked: What's the best advice you've received from anyone?
The first thing that comes to mind is a friend who recently wrote me an email (we worked together 2 years back) and she wrote “you know what, just don’t let anything around you change you. It’s always easier to be yourself, but far more difficult to be someone else”.
& I completely concur with her advice. At times it can feel as if you’re talking with a lot of unnecessary baggage. But, you have to make a conscious effort to let it all go and be yourself.
