@ sam #2 – if you’re weak in the logic reasoning portion, i highly, highly recommend buying some of those logic games books they sell at magazine stands – it helped me tremendously and it went from being my weakest to my strongest area on the LSAT…

Now THAT is a tip I can use. This post is fluffy? Not if it helps me get in to law school. Viva la fluff.

  • take better care of myself, physically and mentally
  • find a way to drink more without it having such ill effects (which, btw, has been my dad’s dream for many years ;) )
  • walk more
  • say no to others more often without feeling so guilty about it
  • get a husband (j/k – but apparently, it’s everybody else’s[/ 2009 resolution for me, so…

    Thanks for your good work, all of you…but my friends and I are always curious as to why a blog like SM pretty much ignores the Palestine-Israel situation? We were kind of hopeful when we saw the title “I resolve to be more mutinous” but it was just fluffy stuff :) …especially at this point of crisis, it seems really callous to stay studiously silent.

    We don’t blog about stories unless they deal with the diaspora, we can add something to the story, we are interested in writing about them and we have the time to cover it, which is consistent with a thematically-unified, volunteer-run endeavor. The truth is, we have no obligation to write about anything, no matter how important it seems, because we have no obligation to blog, period. No one is forcing any of you to read a site which ignores your interests.

    More and more people seem to think SM is somehow the voice of the desi establishment, when in actuality it is simply a collection of unique South Asian American perspectives. If you can’t find intelligent exploration of the South Asian issues that interest you, that’s not our fault, that’s a failing of the South Asian media– and maybe yourselves? A simple google search turns up the interesting fact that the letter-writer has a blog (with no discussion of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) and is no stranger to writing herself– so then why is it on us to be all things to all people?

    In 2009, I hope people stop feeling entitled when it comes to SM. Everyone likes something different and everyone’s desires are valid. Even if they are “fluffy”. None of us in the bunker expects “thank you” notes, but we can do without the “thank you, BUT”s.
