Turning 26…and reminiscing about being 19 →. January 29, 2012 · 11:48 AM. Healing and Understanding Cultural Difference within our Relationships. Addressed the fact that there are some cultural differences between me and L which I should probably try to get my head around. We’re onto something here folks! Stress caused me to isolate myself last year. This year is all about health, healing and connecting with others. Filed under Cultural Difference. Turning 26…and reminiscing about being 19 →. It’s ...

Colonial Fantasy, Sexual Desire and Saving the Exotic Dark Other (aka Why Are You With This Guy?) | taswin12

Western Privilege and Interracial Relationships. Revised About Page →. May 3, 2011 · 3:04 PM. Colonial Fantasy, Sexual Desire and Saving the Exotic Dark Other (aka Why Are You With This Guy? Thankfully, ALL the people he referred to were male and white. In fact, the entire article was about white male sexual desire and how it is indulged through colonial relations and the western missionary/saviour complex. Ummm…wrong, according to my therapist. To backtrack slightly, L and I are having some pretty major...

How Do You Get a Guy to Dance? I Should Have Lied →. June 5, 2011 · 11:30 PM. My mum is actively anti my relationship with L, a relationship which has been going for well over 3 years now. She wasn’t always like this. When I first told her about him, her reaction was generally positive. Or more accurately, it wasn’t overtly negative. She did ask Is he Muslim? Because it makes total sense to discriminate against L on the basis that he’ll be discriminated against by others…). Filed under Cultural Difference.

You are in Australia yaar, why don’t you get with a white girl? | taswin12

Woman, Femininity and Feminism. Confessions and Questions of a New Blogger →. August 1, 2011 · 11:35 AM. You are in Australia yaar, why don’t you get with a white girl? Ok, so maybe the Indian guy on the bus didn’t put it that bluntly to L. But he did put it pretty bluntly. 8221;, “How long have you been here? Or with a white guy. I’ve had hotel staff in India directly ask me if my parents raised me strictly and – grrr – whether I’m a virgin (! Mate, I’m right here. Firstly, it is insulting and makes me ...

Goodbye 2011! | taswin12
https://taswin12.wordpress.com/2012/01/08/goodbye-2011
Healing and Understanding Cultural Difference within our Relationships →. January 8, 2012 · 11:00 PM. Well thank goodness it’s 2012! The last few months of 2011 weren’t that great for me. And that’s an understatement. I wasn’t sure where my relationship with L was headed. Without confidently knowing that our relationship had a future, the last thing I felt like doing was blogging about intercultural relationships, or anything remotely related. It would have felt fake. My mum approached the issue in her u...

#PrayforNepal | Life through a kaleidoscope
https://tashsn.wordpress.com/2015/04/28/prayfornepal
Life through a kaleidoscope. Love, life and thoughts. Food for the soul. April 28, 2015. When I was there last December, I was overwhelmed with the love and support I got from the people of Nepal. There was no doubt that the Nepalese were loving, kind, generous, witty, admirable and gentle but the kind of vibe that I got from the little windy roads, the snow capped mighty mountain range, the cool breeze, the warm people was nothing short of amazing.

Kancha: Is it?
http://kanchawrites.blogspot.com/2011/10/is-it.html
Friday, October 14, 2011. I was lying on a bed, staring at the cracks of the ceiling and thinking probably the most common questions that everyone has gone through once. What is life? And why are we here for? Why do we have to suffer? Those questions which were not answered by great philosophers and poets were eating my brains. I want to achieve greatness in life as everybody else. Even though I’m well aware of the fact that people who already achieved what I called greatness are not happy, but...I don&#...

Migration, Identity and Language | taswin12

Getting back into Blogging. Liebster Blog Award →. November 21, 2011 · 1:02 AM. Migration, Identity and Language. Probably my resistance to any kind of migrant-woman stereotype stems from an unconscious desire to identify with the mainstream, more powerful group. But we’ll leave aside the topic of my unconscious desires in this post (they’re not that interesting – desire for omnipotent power, for oneness with the cosmos, the usual kind of thing…). 8220;You are Indian? There’s a popular catch-phrase...

The Aftermath Part One: From Smooth Sailing to Choppy Waters. Parents, Partner and Heartache: Let it Be →. July 10, 2011 · 8:55 PM. The Aftermath Part Two: A Disastrous End. This is the second of two posts describing what happened while my parents were visiting me and L last week. It’s no secret in Blogland that L and I are having difficulties lately, a lot of it related to things outside of our immediate sphere of control (e.g. structural racism. But it’s been going so well for two months and my dad at ...
