I have been away for a long while, haven’t I? But now I feel like writing again… maybe because I have been reading other friends’ blogs and I am struck by the lightness embodied by some of them. Thanks, Raaga! I love reading and re-reading your posts… 🙂
What’s been happening? Have been busy doing various Art of Living activities. A wonderful India trip planned for the youth this winter, designing covers for AOL material, working on getting YES! started in high schools in the city, making chapatis (after 4 years nearly!), catching up on sleep, more graphic design…
This morning, I heard a fabulous CD of Guruji’s – Contradictions in the Bhagavad Gita, ah brilliance!
In Toronto, I met a sweet Iranian girl. She mentioned about how she had to get a second undergraduate degree since it was so tough to get a job in the city with a single degree! I asked her if she had thought about working in the US and she replied that it was darned humiliating for her to even visit the country, given that she was an Iranian. Hope she finds something for herself!

Good to hear from you again!
I only have one degree and I think it’s not that hard to find work in Toronto. I’d actually put French-language abilities above a second degree here. 🙂

Tell your friend that LA is full of Iranians and she would be perfectly welcome here. 🙂

I guess she does not doubt how welcome she’d be in LA… Just that she needs to go through the US immigration and formalities – that, I assume, was the difficult part.
