The Year of the Rabbit is finally over. When the year started, I was expecting an amazing one. We got married during the first week and considering our love for bunnies, it shouldn’t be anything less than stellar.

Not true. It’s turned out to be the worst year of my life. We lost our rabbit, Bunny, during the year. It was a no bunny policy evidently.
Then I lost my mom. And really when you lose 40% of your family in one year, the year couldn’t be any crappier. There is so much gone from our lives that we [...] Continue Reading…

Ten Reasons Why I Love The Swede
20 Jan2012
This is going to be an incredibly sappy post but as it is about Swedish men, love, and bunnies, I have to write it.
I love my husband for a zillion reasons. Some of them are related to being a Swede, and many are just because who he is. Cue, sappiness. Let’s all say it together, “Awwwwwwwwww.”

Just a thanks to you readers who supported our blackout to protest SOPA and PIPA. More than 4.6 million people signed the Google petition alone.
And Twitter.com CEO Dick Costolo, said Wikipedia’s blackout is: “… just silly. Closing a global business in reaction to single-issue national politics is foolish.” Who’s foolish now poop head?
Should these laws ever go into effect, even if rewritten, sites like mine may never see the light of day again. Facebook, Tumblr, Flickr, WordPress, and even Google will have one hellava of a time.
But, first a public service announcement from Senator Chris [...] Continue Reading…
Swedish Culture Win – Shoes Off Please
17 Jan2012
There’s this ongoing battle in many countries. The dispute can destroy dinner parties and make friendships awkward. Some people compare this battle to the War of the Roses, eternal until death do us part.
It is called – The Battle of Wearing Shoes Indoors!
I for one, do not allow shoes in the house. I never have. I never will.
Here’s why:
I am Indian, and like all other Asians, our home is our sanctuary. To not takes shoes off is a sign of disrespect to the owners of the house.

Random Swedish Things I Cannot Live Without
15 Jan2012
Sometimes I’m amazed at how Swedish I have become. I love the wintertime and snowfall and the darkness doesn’t bother me that much. Laundry bookings prevent a run on the washing machines Saturday morning, and the despicable Systembolaget is clean and full of helpful information when buying wine.
There are some Swedish things I cannot live without. Perhaps I have truly lost my mind.

Finally, a country that loves Donald Duck more than Mickey Mouse. Plus, you have to be drinking glögg and eating pepparkakor.

Swedish salaries on the whole, are lower than other countries. In Sweden, salaries are more evenly spread between professions compared to the other countries, especially the US & UK, when there is a wide range in earnings between blue-collar to CEO/doctor levels.
Here’s a quick look at monthly salaries for most major professions. In Sweden, employees sign up for a monthly salary rather than yearly salary. These are based upon several years experience. Discount heavily if you are a new graduate in the field.

As you all are aware of, I am a kooky person. I LOVE the snow. Love it, love it, love it! That’s not to say I don’t love sunny days, and flowers blooming but watching the snowfall is something special.
Snowfall is magical.
Yet, this winter, sucks. No rain, no snow, no Weather! Stockholm feels as if the Weather went on strike and decided the best thing to have was charcoal gray as the standard color.
Today I was yet again let down by Weather. It started snowing. Giant, white, fluffy flakes of [...] Continue Reading…
