Reshma is American. I am old enough to know I am never going to have a country of my own. Nepal was not it. America is not it. If America is the greatest country in the world, I hope there is a better planet out there somewhere, because I have not been particularly enamored of this country. If you situate yourself right, it is tolerable, but that's about it. India is heritage, it's not country.
Iran stands strong on my mental heat wave map right now. But that is political.
New York City is my playground. I have tried to think of it as a country, but it is not a country.
The Internet is the closest thing to a country I got.

Domestic Violence Can Be Ended Like Polio Could Be Cured
Image by Getty Images via @daylifeMore women than men are graduating from colleges today. But the leadership structures in all sectors of society, in all the major institutions are still male and archaic.
Little expressions of attitude are relevant. Sexist jokes are weapons of attrition thrown at the self esteem of women.
Life experiences have to be shared experiences.
"Bill Clinton is a good husband to keep for 30 years because he does the dishes."

Obama Has No Business Kissing Maloney
The information age and the post-industrial society should make it more possible for people to strike better life-work balances.
"I can't think in front of a computer."
- Hillary Clinton
A new generation has to step in to kick the ball further down the road.
When the mass rapes were happening in Liberia I figured the women in this town, the pro choice women, might rise up in arms, but no, not a whisper.
The Anti Maloney Brigade
Barack Obama achieved JFK status as a candidate. He achieved FDR status after he passed health care reform. All other items like Wall Street reform and immigration reform keep him at the FDR level. If he wants to achieve Lincoln status, he is going to have to end the global trafficking of women the way Lincoln ended slavery.
