For my fellow early birds who choose not to sleep before 1am
If you’re like me, you’re probably reading this past midnight on a worknight. Go to sleep and stop gchatting.
Americans Need to Get a Grip
It was late morning of May 4th where I decided to check into my facebook account and boom- here I see everyone’s status announcing the assassination of Osama bin Ladin. Honestly speaking I was very conflicted – conflicted about hearing the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden. Conflicted because his death in many […]
A Quest for Identity
It should be known that the murder of any identity is our own murder, regardless of what our language, religion or identity might be. To me, my identity is what makes me unique. Well — at least this is the pride I nurtured deep inside me growing up in America. Being expelled from my own […]

Nawruz is Back in an Akrawi Style

Doctors Are So Cruel
“Doctors are just so mean and arrogant,” I continue hearing. I somehow have to agree with this assertion considering that every physician-patient experience I have encountered has been nothing but a disaster.
