I am a 24 year old Toronto native who has come to blogging simply to have a space where I can share the thoughts which permeate my utterly restless mind. My interests are wide ranging, from sports to politics to writing to literature, and the content of this blog will certainly reflect those diverse topics.
I am a graduate of the University of Toronto and have recently completed my Master’s degree in the Department of Political Studies at Queen’s University. My primary academic interests are constitutional politics and the role of Canada’s judiciary in public policy.
Most recently, I was a Communications Assistant at an environmental non-profit in Toronto and absolutely loved the experience. In previous lives I have been a technical writer, a copywriter for a public relations firm, and have even worked at a daycare and as a tutor. During my time at Queen’s University, I was also a teaching assistant for the courses “Introduction to Politics and Government” and “Canadian Government.” Other than that, I love baseball, boxing, Doctor Who, the novels of Philip Roth, and salmon. I suppose that’s me in a nutshell.

/ July 11, 2010Ravi, I found you while googling Clay Shirky’s TED talk. I think the ideas in my lastest book, Consequential Strangers, will resonate with you. Do check it out. Part of the solution for the problems we face today is to open our eyes and hearts to the people we encounter on a daily basis–not just loved ones, but they guy who sells you your morning coffe, a gym buddy, a mentor–people we’re not “close” to in the traditional sense but who nevertheless make a huge difference in our lives.
