Seasons

Seasons, a photo by harini_sanjeev on Flickr. This December will mark my one year anniversary of completely moving to Seattle. I’ve been living here, on and off, since May 2010 and have grown to love the city (but not the rain). Over these last few months, I have been lucky to experience the city’s splendor …

Recounting 2011 – The Resolutions

Harini Renganathan — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 00:23:31 +0000

Edit – This is part one of my two part series on recounting 2011. I started writing about everything at one go and realized that it’s too difficult to pack one whole year into one post. Around this time, last year, I wrote a post about my resolutions for 2011. Nothing grand, just a tiny …

Heartbreak

It is 12 in the noon as I start writing this post. At this time, everyday, I put my little fellow into his crate and move to the kitchen to prepare his food. He is a fussy eater, so I have to measure proper proportions and mix his dry food with some wet can food. …

Be the Match. Or atleast try.

I have had an innate fear of needles, hospitals and everything related to them for as long as I can remember. Over the last couple of years, whenever I have had to give blood (for general tests or as a donor), I have either been hysterical or faint-headed. Frankly, I don’t know why this happens. …

Being at the right place, at the right time , a photo by harini_sanjeev on Flickr. The weather in Seattle has been pretty “blah” lately. The last few days have been filled with incessant rains, with the sun peaking out for a few minutes followed by more rain and dark grey skies. While I’m already …

My word for this year = Hiatus.

Harini Renganathan — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 22:04:02 +0000

A lot has happened over the last couple of months since I last posted. To cut a long story short, I went back to India to look for work, was offered multiple roles, rejected all of them and came back to Seattle for personal reasons. While I’ve been able to summarize all of it in …

Meet Prof. Moriarty, a photo by harini_sanjeev on Flickr. Via Flickr: This cute little Boxer face was just 6 weeks old when this picture was taken. We get to bring him home on October 22nd and I can’t wait for that day to come quickly. I have always loved dogs, but have had a hard …

Touristy Weekend :)

Harini Renganathan — Wed, 04 May 2011 06:49:11 +0000

Last weekend in Seattle was super sunny, warm and clear, with awesome blue skies! I’m beginning to enjoy the slow advent of summer here; while the weather has been moody in general, the past few weekends have been gorgeous beyond belief! So we made the most of it, just like we usually do and did …

Job Search Tip #2 = Don’t give up!

Harini Renganathan — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 20:39:25 +0000

I graduated in December 2010 and have been looking for a job, on and off, since then. I know people who have been looking for a job even longer. These are tough times, but they have taught me a lot of lessons. And one of the most important ones is “don’t give up“. I come …
