Pink Walls
Due to some inquiries about the pink background of many of my photos, I am addressing it.
Yes, I usually end up blogging when I should be studying, and my favorite place to (not) study is in the kitchen at the head of the table.
So, do I need to spell out the rest or do you get it?
Shameless plug
I used to work for a company called Giddygiddy which makes hand made felt barrettes, or rather for the woman behind the adorable barrettes whose art and creative genius is so inspiring.
Today I pulled out the few of her barrettes I own and tried them with my "up do."
I think they look pretty awesome!

Girls' education: A lifeline to development a report by UNICEF
That women might have the chance of a healthier and happier life should be reason enough for promoting girls' education. However, there are also important benefits for society as a whole. An educated woman has the skills, information and self-confidence that she needs to be a better parent, worker and citizen.
An educated woman is, for example, likely to marry at a later age and have fewer children. Cross-country studies show that an extra year of schooling for girls reduces fertility rates by 5 to 10 per cent. And the children of an educated mother are more likely to survive. In India, for example, the infant mortality rate of babies whose mothers have received primary education is half that of children whose mothers are illiterate.
An educated woman will also be more productive at work -- and better paid. Indeed, the dividend for educational investment is often higher for women than men. Studies from a number of countries suggest that an extra year of schooling will increase a woman's future earnings by about 15 per cent, compared with 11 per cent for a man.

Bald
My hair has been falling out a little bit more than usual. I think its just a combination of rust in the water from India and getting older.
But if I look like this the next time you see me, you know why.

The only thing that is
the most important that is
not the least I could say
I am willing to compromise of my beliefs is
the most important part of me is
the thing that I am is
never willing to stop being able to stop and
be able to stop and
see the world different in
a two second span of nothingness.
The butterfly unable to drink from the flower and
the trees lining a walkway of
homelessness and grim.
I am not willing to let go of this.

"I Like Giants" by Kimya Dawson
"When I go for a drive I like to pull off to the side
Of the road, turn out the lights, get out and look up at the sky
And I do this to remind me that I'm really, really tiny
In the grand scheme of things and sometimes this terrifies me
But it's only really scary cause it makes me feel serene
In a way I never thought I'd be because I've never been
So grounded, and so humbled, and so one with everything
I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything
Rock and roll is fun but if you ever hear someone
Say you are huge, look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun
Look at the ocean and the desert and the mountains and the sky
Say I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye..."

First Day of Europe
I had a dream last night that I thought I was going to Europe tour this year, upon realizing that I was not, I started sobbing (in the dream)...
I woke up this morning yearning so intensely for my Amma.
Only 6 weeks, only 6 weeks, only 6 weeks.
