Life Through My Eyes
What a month for Rutgers! The Fall 2010 semester has brought so much attention (local and national in both of the cases) to Rutgers — in a negative way unfortunately. A few weeks back, I posted about my thoughts on the Rutgers freshmen who committed suicide. Since then, the Rutgers community has been hit with …
We moved this past Sunday, and are slowly and finally settling into our new house. The last month and a half have been insanely busy with all of the renovations our new house needed amongst the packing (and now finally unpacking). We pretty much packed the whole house in two days — and that worked out …
All of the 33 miners were rescued and brought to safety! What an amazing story! With so many odds against them, and so many potential risks along the way – it is an absolute miracle. An absolute fairy tale ending for what could have been a horrendous tragedy. What started off as 17 days without …
Here’s a video of the last minor rescued: Here’s the video of the first miner rescued: I’m trying to find a video for each separate rescue. If you have any links, let me know. P.S. Don’t forget to leave me a comment below on your thoughts! As always, I’d love to hear from you.
Anyone with a heart has to have been disheartened following the story of the 33 miners trapped underground since August 5th (68 days!) in Chile. How can you not? I’ve read many stories on the whole incident every day for the last ten weeks. Each time I did so, I got chills and thought about what they …
As a society, when are we going to say ENOUGH is ENOUGH against bullying? I would hope that if Rutgers ever received so much attention, it would be for a positive thing. As a very recent alumni of Rutgers it was quite dissappointing that they, instead, made headlines locally and nationally because one of the freshmen committed …
I love, love, LOVE this Chocolate Chip and Walnut Pie. And so does everyone else who I’ve made it for. It’s another easy to make dessert, with ingredients including mostly what you have on hand already. Here’ what you need for it: 1 unbaked frozen pie shell 2 large eggs 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour …
You know what’s worse than being sick for about two weeks? Spending about eight hours in the emergency room while feeling miserable! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – nurses – my god, are they the most patient people or what? I don’t know how they do it. I’m a fairly impatient and stubborn …

Alhumduillah, two LONG years after we first saw this house… we closed on our new home today! After seeing many (and i mean MANY – like well over a hundred), we stumbled across a great house two years ago. The house was probably the first one that we all sort of liked… and more importantly …
