On death, social change, and the online persona

Recently, I ran across the blog of “Indian Homemaker,” an everyday Indian Homemaker who cares deeply about issues like feminism, human rights, tolerance and peace, gender equality, and her day to day experiences.

I’m alive, I promise.

I haven’t posted in quite a long time, so this isn’t going to be your “typical” Justice for All blog post. Instead, I’m going to ramble on about my thoughts. Please bear with me, people! First of all, I want to say I’m sorry! I don’t think this blog is all that popular, but I’m…

You don’t just define your community – your community defines you

There is a lot of talk of personal branding these days: is it good or bad? How can you build a network of people who respect your personal brand? How can you join a group of people with the same interests to help you make professional connections? But while we are busy trying to carve…

Can we make an impact through writing?

I ran across this really excellent post the other day, by Lola Adesioye. I love this quote from her: I have spent many column inches and airtime talking about the shoulda, woulda and the couldas of life. And don’t get me wrong – I enjoy it! But I also ask myself how much of a…
