This past Friday, I felt a dull pain on the left side of my jaw. Eventually, the left side of my face began to swell up and the pain went from dull to almost unbearable. My wisdom tooth, you see, had decided that this was it’s time to burst out of my gums. I wasContinue reading “USC x Superman, my wisdom tooth and dreams that transform us.”

In these past few posts, I’ve revealed a lot of small things about myself. Day one readers know that I am very close to my family and that I grew up very close to all four of my grandparents. They also know how much my home and city mean to me. And they know thatContinue reading “Collecting memories, the circle of life, and stamps.”

This won’t come as a surprise to many, but if you did not already know, I grew up in India. I’ve always seen myself as being very fortunate.

Since this is my first official pin post of the blog, I think it’s fair to start with arguably the first pin I ever got. I present to you, in all its glory, my St. Mary’s School Gandhi house pin:  I know. That last sentence meant nothing to a lot of you. So, let meContinue reading “St. Mary’s School House Badge”

In the Spring of 2018, I started collecting enamel pins. This wasn’t off brand for me. I was always a big fan of collections and over the years I managed to develop quite the collection of collections, if you will. I collected stamps, Lego minifigures, even limited edition soda cans. While some might call meContinue reading “It’s Pin the story”
