Someone once asked me: why do you talk about the Bahá’í Faith so much? I asked this person if they were a healthcare professional. They said no. “When someone tells you about feeling sick, what do you say?” “I suggest to them things that I know will make them feel better.” “Why? If you are… Read More Caring for others
Fringe fans, settle into your favourite couch; it looks like, yet again, the writers are going to take their time developing the storyline, delving into each characters’ psyche and exploring the differences in them created by Peter’s absence. While some might not like the slower pace, this lends to resolving the main question at hand… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 4, Episode 2: “One Night in October”
With the ‘reset’ in the Fringe timeline, it almost feels like we are watching a new show, rather than one triumphantly entering its fourth season. Which is why this is the perfect time to ‘reset’ the way I review the show. As the executive producers of the show often say, Fringe is as much about… Read More TV Review: Fringe, Season 4, Episode 1: “Neither Here Nor There”
Back in December 2010, the first posthumous album featuring all new Michael Jackson songs was released. The album, named simply Michael, fit quite seamlessly with the narrative associated with the last months of his life: wanting to make a comeback, Michael was planning his “This is It” series of concerts, which was to be one… Read More Michael Jackson’s “Behind the Mask” Music Video
Many, many people know Nadine, be it on Twitter, Tumblr, or Facebook (and, for a few very lucky people, in real life). Her spunkiness, wit, and love for sci-fi shows (combined with some interesting insights) make of her a caring, fun, and deep person to talk to. It came as no surprise to find out… Read More Channeling Hope into Raising Awareness and Funds for Hunter Syndrome
I recently read an article, which talks about the relationship between poor housing conditions and the 25% of children in Montreal who suffer from lung disease, and suggests that the province of Quebec should invest not only in hospitals, but in home construction as well. Before, such articles would just make me so angry at… Read More Noticing the Glimmering of the Lesser Peace
I am no artist, but I love music. I am always surprised (and rather unpleasantly!) when the music industry competes for my attention. It makes no sense to me that I should have to like an artist just because he or she is the one getting the most marketing effort from a company. After all,… Read More Creativity Is Everywhere: One Person’s Quest to Find It
One of my oft mentioned opinions is the fact that one mega superstar à la Michael Jackson cannot be something that happens often in a world moving slowly towards self-realization. After all, if music is an expression of emotions that can’t be expressed through words alone, doesn’t it make more sense to have a lot… Read More A new take on remakes, remixes and mashups
I love fashion. I have a rather simple fashion taste, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy putting on nice outfits on, neither does it mean that I don’t enjoy seeing a fabulous outfit on the street. However, I always question what is the relationship between fashion and one’s spiritual progress in life. There… Read More Thoughts on a Baha’i Sense of Fashion
