An iphone user's journey to simplify her life. June 11, 2010 in Uncategorized. Love it. For new users, it’s basically a free online radio service that allows you to create your own station based on artists and genres you already like. For years I’ve listened to Pandora on my computer at work, but I recently found out you can get it on your phone too. I gotta say that my favorite thing about this app is that somehow the Pandora I get on my iPhone is actually. The app is free, although Pandora does charge ...

An iphone user's journey to simplify her life. August 13, 2010 in Uncategorized. Yesterday I had a very “smart” day. I rented a car, drove from NYC upstate to Hyde Park. Presented at the Roosevelt Campus Network. Summit, and drove back. Despite being an incredibly hectic day of nearly 6 hours of driving (this is a feat in itself since I hate driving), the most amazing part of all was that I relied solely on my phone (and of course my natural instincts) to navigate my way through the day. 3) I didn’...

Inspired fusion between the east and west, across art, design, enertainment and food. The Challenges of Parenting A Mixed-Race Child. I came across this interesting article in Harper’s Bazaar. The article also raises some interesting questions about race and color and the assumptions that go along with it, as is conveyed in this excerpt:. It was the first time Myles had been on the receiving end. Did that guy think you were my mistress or the nanny? He joked. We laughed it off together. But never mind my...

An iphone user's journey to simplify her life. The facebook profile pic app. August 10, 2010 in Uncategorized. Today is Agent Orange Day. Sadly, but not surprisingly, this is a somewhat buried issue. Most people in the U.S. are entirely unaware that Agent Orange is still a problem. It seems like such a relic of the past; it’s hard to imagine that it’s still relevant. In fact, Vogue. As part of an effort to highlight the hard work being done to address this humanitarian problem. Many people around the wor...

The soccer world cup has finally come to an end, and Paulie the octopus can resume his peaceful existence in his fish tank. But besides Paulie’s amazing gift of divination, it was also fascinating to see just how unifying this event was on the global scale. Suddenly everyone was a soccer fan whether they watched soccer before or not. But it is like this only. You are c...

Bollywood! But it is like this only | Culture Melange

Inspired fusion between the east and west, across art, design, enertainment and food. But it is like this only. Bollywood apparently has its roots in various ancient Indian theatrical art forms, including storytelling of the great Indian epics such as the Ramayana, and traditional folk theater of ancient India. But I would say that the largest influence on Bollywood in 21st century is MTV. To illustrate this, I have to run through a list of what I think is defines the new Bollywood. 6 Bringing sexy back&...

Indianisms…Please don’t mind it | Culture Melange

Inspired fusion between the east and west, across art, design, enertainment and food. Indianisms…Please don’t mind it. In case anyone was wondering what the title of my last post on Bollywood was about “But it is like this only”, well, that’s just a classic Indianism. Yes, Indians are notorious for speaking a unique version of the English language, which is largely a mixture of the old-fashioned British English and an influence of the many languages spoke in India. A tendency to overuse idioms. You are c...

An iphone user's journey to simplify her life. August 15, 2010 in Uncategorized. Yesterday I fell in love with geolocation all over again. I found myself on the road again, this time in Nashville, and I decided to download the Mapquest 4 mobile. GPS app ahead of time. Even though I’ve been to Nashville several times, I still don’t know my way around very well so I always rely on some kind of GPS system to get around. To make some copies. So instead I pulled up the Google app. Search the app trail. You ar...
