Where in the world should Shaminder San Diego go?

by sdulai on Apr 9, 2008 • No Comments

So it dawned on me last night while I was sitting in the car before going into a friends home to crash on yet another couch, pretty soon I’m going to get very busy. As I mentioned, I’m in for a Hearst Fellowship, which begins in mid-August. What I haven’t mentioned yet is that I’m...

I’m in

by sdulai on Apr 8, 2008 • No Comments

Dear friends, family, colleges, mentors, random SLR readers, exs past, present and future, hangers-ons and one Yorkshire named Bentley… I’ve got some big (ahem BIG!) news to share. Either someone is playing an elaborate prank on me, or I just became the newest Hearst Fellowship Recipient. I just got the call on Sunday from Kenn...

Another one from the file “I haven’t mentioned it because it felt like bragging,” a few months ago I got a call informing me I was a finalist for the Hearst Fellowship. There are 12 of us now and they’ll soon narrow us down to the final four selected (which kinda sucks! I’ve meet some...

A friend recently sent to me… I wonder if (the jerk 😛 ) is trying to tell me something?

Hello ladies, apparently me have something in common

by sdulai on Mar 8, 2008 • No Comments

Today is March 8th and apparently the ladies, or lay-dies as I prefer, and I have something in common. No, it’s not that we both cry at weddings, like Audrey Hepburn movies or secretly wonder if we’d be able to stop ourselves from throwing ourselves at George Clooney and screaming like a school girl in...

I’m right here Roberto!

That guy right there on the right who’s hugging the hell out of me (or looks likes he about to tackle me?), that’s Roberto Rosales, a staff shooter from the ABQ Journal, and apparently he misses me. We’re also flanked by Jim Thompson, center, and Greg Sorber, left, also staff shooters that had been great...

Re: I need a haircut…

Ok… this is just too good not to share… Arriving in my e-mail a few hours after my last post, my good buddy Daniel Esch decided to not be shackled by the distance between us and took it upon himself to share his razor sharp wit and knowledge of all things awesome. A Biz Markie...

I need a haircut…

by sdulai on Mar 5, 2008 • No Comments

Ok… I’m giving in, once it starts whipping me in my own eyes, it’s time. That’s me back in August when I first arrived to start in ABQ. And here I am about 2 weeks ago. In between zero trims. So there. Also, some people out there have expressed that I’m not posting enough pics,...

PJ loses a friend

by sdulai on Feb 21, 2008 • No Comments

I’ve talked about it before, joked about it and held out hope from the inevitable… but today it has come. This morning the staff of the Albuquerque Tribune heard the news, Saturday would be their last day and after 86-years the doors will closed one last time. It wasn’t the paper of my internship, but...

And this is the end, the end my friend

by sdulai on Feb 13, 2008 • No Comments

Well… it’s nearing the end of my time with the Albuquerque Journal. It’s been a long, winding, educating, eye-opening trip. Thursday is my last day, with Friday a check-out day. As of now my last assignment here is pets of the week for the metro section. Seems kinda fitting and poetic. So what can I...

The warm embrace of Mother Jones

A little shameless self-promotion (because personal cultural modesty isn’t in keeping with the American way). Wee! Another goal off the list.

Dear Me, how’s it going, call your mother more often #JCarn

Yup, once again, welcome to my latest post for #JCarn. The Carnival of Journalism is a loose collection of journalism thinkers (and people like me) who get together to post on their blogs with their reflections on a given prompt. This month I had the opportunity to host and asked folks to write themselves a letter. As it’s the end of the year, it felt like the right time to look inward. Plus we spend so much time looking outside of ourselves at the industry/government/tech trends/government that self-reflection becomes that icky no-no that we seldom tackle. I know it’s scary, but come’on, let’s do this thing! Why? Because YOLO? “Write a letter to your younger self.” Dear Me, I’m writing to you from 2013, a little wiser, a little slower and probably still confused about why more people don’t do the right thing, but don’t let that stop you from trying. We’ve always been stubborn. I’m packing for a trip to India right now as I write this– don’t worry, you’re not married and yup, you’ll eventually leave California and actually get to fly in a plane– it’s been a wild couple of days. The last 10 or […]

Write a letter to yourself! #JCarn Dec prompt

Howdy folks, After trading some e-mails with David for the great reboot of #JCarn– we were trading prompt ideas and well, I’ll be your host for December. Oh how rude of me, I’m being such a terrible host, let me take your coat, come on in, wipe your feet. As we race toward the end of 2013, it’s a natural time for reflection and in that spirit I think I’ve come up with what I hope will be an enjoyable and perhaps even cathartic prompt: “What would you write if you could send a letter to your fifteen-year-old self?” For December I would like you all to write a letter to your younger self. You can write about anything, no rules, no apologies. You may like to share with yourself advice, things to look out for, things you wished you did differently, regrets, hopes, what you’ve learned, about your life, choices… or just about anything that is on your mind. Ideally these are deeply personal to you and I hope it’ll be enlightening to others in its universality to the human condition. More often than not, if it’s important to you, it’s important to others. And who knows, maybe you’ll […]
