it’s been ten years since the death of john f kennedy jr and every time i remember him, my heart aches. i grew up with a mom who loved the kennedys and i imbibed the same fascination for them as well. the fascination swelled into a sort of illusion that i’d grow up some day [...]

there’s only one book that i read over and over again, that’s katharine graham’s pulitzer prize winning autobiography “personal history“. it is an amazing story of a privileged girl who inherited one of the world’s most powerful newspapers, the washington post. what makes it different? kay is candid about her insecurities yet plays it off [...]

SERIOUSLY?
consumerism has taken a different turn. if retail sales have been languishing at its lowest point in decades, presidential paraphernalia has never been this fever-pitched since the kennedys. from toilet paper to commemorative dildos? i think it’s gotten too far. the cultural and political significance of the obama presidency is turning into a joke.
in [...]

i LOVE the west wing. i still watch my the west wing DVDs to this day. and i think barack and his campaign were clearly inspired by aaron sorkin’s writing as the whole campaign felt like i was watching season 7 of tww when matthew santos(jimmy smits) won as president.
even barack’s apparent choice for [...]

i am not american but i’ve taken a deep interest in american politics because sadly, whatever happens in US poltiics affects the whole world. i have spoken much about my support for hillary clinton and i still am such big fan of hers. but at the end of the day, i still believe in [...]
