For making Saag Paranthas when mum got sectioned, For letting my small legs dance and showering us with affection, For the long walks to get us out of the house, For helping us all get rid of that pesky mouse, For doing the world of a couple alone, For keeping everything light and together at [...]

NaBlaPoMo #6 Bitches be Ruthless!
Crazy day conversing with all manners of people. From dearest loved ones to virtual unknowns and ghosts of long forgotten past. I realised, as the great Bitch Tina Fey might say : Bitches Rule! We need to stick together and be more direct. I am a strong woman. I am a feminist. Yeah shit happened, [...]
MA Gender Studies: – Week Six
Today I attended: Class: Theorising Gender; Theme: Poststructuralism, Deconstruction and Feminism | Karen Throsby Encounters between feminism and poststructuralism have been intense and fruitful, but hotly contested. Many feminist scholars have argued that poststructuralist and deconstructionist approaches offer feminist theorising productive tools for the exploration of key issues in relation to power and knowledge, and [...]
Post Patricia Hills Collins’ Rough notes.
So I missed a couple day's posts, which I am kicking myself over. But I guess that's what happens when life gets in the way of passion, and learning that gets marked and becomes valued takes over invisible past-times like this that increasingly seen as having no value (again). Hopefully tomorrow, or soon, I will [...]
New plan.
I'm losing the will to live a little. This whole target of trying to write a post a day is constantly leaving me cranky and moody every night. I will no doubt have to cease with the endless poetry and begin being more productive, particularly in regards to reading and writing things of worth. By [...]
An Open Letter to Naz Shah
Dear Naz Shah, I don't know you, but I'm glad you have won. You have risen up through the sexist, derogatory campaign ran by many, to be democratically elected in Bradford. In doing so, you have given me renewed hope for a better Bradford. A Bradford built on free discourse and open to all. Regardless [...]
Waterloo: Knowing my Fate is to be with You…
Waterloo, London on a crisp Winter's morning, is it winter yet? If it is the last day of sunshine I am sure of it. As my photojournalism module kicks off the enthusiasm for the visual side of life has seeped back, finally! It's been two years of living in London and turning me back on [...]
Wicked: The Musical
Although in the end we didn't get the full day of hanging around the Victoria area of London due to other commitment, the musical itself was a masterpiece of emotional involvement. The only photograph I had time to take. Having heard lots of opinions and thoughts about this piece of modern theatre, I tried to [...]
THE MUSUEM OF CURIOSITY, SOHO
Imagine a collection of densely pack streets, full of warm, friendly people, neon signs, gay sights and enticing smells and you have started to get a small inkling of what it means to find yourself In Soho. In my present state I can't really explain the excitement of treading those semi-cobbled pathways. But I do [...]
The crazy sights of London
So equipped with an annoyingly messed up Fuji camera, destroyed after a night out to some notorious student halls in North London (wood green halls), I am trying to document my third and perhaps final year in the great city that is London. Having discovered how to create a gallery on WordPress (yay me!) here's [...]
