To have that sense of one’s intrinsic worth which constitutes self-respect is potentially to have everything: the ability to discriminate, to love and to remain indifferent. To lack it is to be locked within oneself, paradoxically incapable of either love or indifference.

Our Every Day
In west on 05/18/2011 at 10:02 pm
My dearest friend Analee recently celebrated her 25th birthday and joined the quarter life club with N and me. In honor of her birthday, moreover – in honor of celebrating our every day lives, we are documenting each day of the coming year with a photograph. Again, I find myself collaborating with a close friend, states away. The joy in making things with people you love transcends boundaries.
So, I lift my glass to Analee, and I lift my glass to N for her amazing exhibition in Ohio, and say: thank you for letting me do this with you.
Welcome to Our 25th Year.
Love,
m
The Year of Magical Thinking
In west on 05/17/2011 at 10:38 pmWe were not having any fun, he had recently begun pointing out. I would take exception (didn’t we do this, didn’t we do that) but I had also known what he meant. He meant doing things not because we were expected to do them or had always done them or should do them but because we wanted to do them. He meant wanting. He meant living. Didion

In one week so much happened. Overwhelmed with emotion it has just hit me. A new chapter in my life is about to begin, great things are about to unfold but it’s so hard to do without the immediate presence of the people that mean the most to me. The girls just left. It’s just me now. Till we meet again, I’ll be waiting on the moon.

MAY FLOWERS

Two years of arduous research, process and discovery all culminating to one thesis defense. Today at 1130 am I went into my thesis exhibition and presented my work. An hour and a half later and I was re-greeted with harmonious congratulations from my committee.
SURREAL
I’d like to thank all of you that have supported me -family, friends, friends of friends, acquaintances, everyone- THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your support.
Also, big congratulations to M for finishing her first year of graduate school at USC. To Vasant who landed a job in San Diego. And to my father for all of his prosperity.
Here’s to wishing everyone positive vibes in the month of May.
