What Bollywood Taught Me About Love

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:16 am By Posted by The Editors

I do not often tell others now that my parents rarely kissed or hugged us as children. In today’s heavy judgment on parents of all types, I fear that the ways in which my parents showed their affections would be misrepresented as cruel or negligent. Instead, my parents (surely like their parents before them) were reserved in a classic South Asian manner. Not once had I ever been told that my parents loved me; not once were we hugged for...

Aisha & The Dragon Slayer

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:16 am By Posted by The Editors

Eds. note.: Happy 11th wedding anniversary to our columnist Aisha Saeed & her husband Kashif! Sleep deprivation is an ugly dragon of a beast. Allow me to describe it, for I know it intimately. It is at once amorphous and concrete with a uniquely menacing gait. Its tentacles are dark and wiry—firm. It wraps you in its fold, wrings you out, leaving you completely disoriented. But that’s not the bad part. The bad part is how it fogs a beautiful... Read more

On being a writer of color

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:16 am By Posted by The Editors

Journalist and writer Zahir Janmohamed pens a brilliant piece in Guernica about being a writer of color: I wanted to tell them that if being a writer is to endure loneliness then being a writer of color in America is to suffer banishment: the only boat off this island often being if I write a certain kind of story in a certain kind of way for a certain kind of audience, which is to say—and we do not say these...

Advice: Sleeping with my best friend

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:16 am By Posted by The Editors

Dear Love, InshAllah: I’ve had a best friend for 4-5 years. I started developing feelings for him. He, like me, is a Muslim. I realized I loved him after he started dating my friend. They dated for about six months. I wanted to be with him and convinced myself that I was going to make him fall in love with me. There were many girls after he broke up with my friend, but during this time we got closer. Eventually,... Read more

For the love of music

Last updated on: November 3, 2014 at 11:16 am By Posted by The Editors

It was really cold. I was starting to get annoyed. I was on the platform waiting for the morning train. I looked down at my watch then quickly stuffed my hand back in my pocket. “Four minutes late…” I muttered to myself. Anyone from Chicago can testify that our winters are horrendous. No matter how long you live here you will never get used to winter in the Windy City. I always complain about how my “African blood” can’t handle... Read more
