Wordless Wednesday: “Look how you look when you’re looking at me.”

Innovative public service ad campaign by Whistling Woods International to challenge the habit of leering at women in India.

Why Being a Bad Mother Maybe What Your Kid Needs

The holidays have come. Thankfully they have also gone. Maybe I’m getting older and the charm of exchanging gifts has worn off; maybe it was never really there to begin with. Growing up in an Hindu household, we did not celebrate Christmas, not even in the secular exchange of gifts as many families of different […]

Too Soon to Talk About Next Year?

I’ve had a great year. That’s the truth, no matter how ways I count in 2013. Whether in babies (our #2 arrived in April) or books (2 eBooks, 1 paperback), even countries visited (3). I love the year end countdowns that recap the past 12 months. But over dinner this week we were looking ahead […]

My Grown Up Christmas Wish for Qatar

“Qatar: Small nation with a big heart.” That’s the Vodafone slogan you can see on signs around the city of Doha. The visual is a friendly, colorful, multiracial society where we all get along. Recently, however, the atmosphere has been tense. Whether it’s the constant road work, squeezing the already congested main arteries of the […]
