SIBLINGS
This past Saturday, after a fine lunch, the kids and I made our way back to the car. I placed them in their car seats enough to hold them while I went back to load the stroller in the trunk. As I was a-stroller-folding, I heard Jaanu crack up. Then again. So I peeked through the trunk and into the backseat to see…this. This will be my favorite picture forever. Hard to see it topped. I love it because it’s emblematic of a sibling relationship. At the very core, the hands. This reminds me of my sis and me, Anu Kiran. Those hands might as well be ours. And though as we have aged and grown, we’ve experienced different facial expressions and body language. Sometimes smiling like this, sometimes angry, sometimes sad, sometimes tired and sleeping, and often times with one feeling one way and the other another way. Sometimes we are facing in, sometimes up, sometimes away. But you know what never changes? Our hands. I always have yours in mine and you always have mine in yours.
#iamgrateful and #iamthankful that you are my sis. And that you are always there to reach for my hand and have been since the day I was born. I hope Anaiya is to Jaan what you have been to me. If so, he will have no greater blessing. I wanted to be the first to say HBD. May it be momentum to make this year and all that follow, wonderful. Love you, Tito!

JUST THE MESSENGER
An excerpt. Thanks for letting me on Cheddar and #iamgrateful and #iamthankful to my employer, Help Scout, for letting me represent the POV Help Scout was founded upon and has spent years building products, services, and content against.
Lucky me — just a vessel for a pretty awesome company’s take (thanks to everyone I work with who prepped me and inspired me with some awesome context and language – the team I work for rocks) on treating customers and employees like human beings, and making a bet that doing so will undeniably justify that faith and investment.

#iamgrateful and #iamthankful for the opportunity to wear a suit every once in a while too ….

YOU GET YOU, AND I GOT YOU TOO
That’s my sis. Seriously. Look at this pic? Anaiya intently concentrating on the TV. Tito Foi concentrating on Anaiya (specifically, being fed.) That’s how life is with my sis around. Just about everyone I know and think of finds a way to fight for the foreground. Not my sis. She fights to be the canvas upon which the background is drawn, so the foreground can pop. She’s done this for me my entire life. She’s why I have such few expectations of me around the fam (folks love me, this isn’t a pity party, it’s an acknowledgement one). Because she took all the stuff that was necessary and essential and required so I could run off and be an irresponsible and disassociated free spirit. My parents made me who I am. I am who I have become (the good things, the fact that bad stuff exists is my fault in human nature) because my sister sucked up all the weight of life and allowed me to go off and be me.
#iamgrateful and #iamthankful for my canvas. Thanks for letting me ungracefully hog the foreground. Also, I know this pic is symbolic of you and me. I’m always Anaiya, and you are always you, holding a spoon to my mouth. Happy soon to be bday!

NC2U
You love this guy. You love this song. And you and I debated the merits of Prince (my choice) vs MJ (your choice) going back to before we should have been able to…I will say it was while watchin’ NY Rocking Eve entering ’85. Well sis, here you have it, as we step up to what will be a great upcoming birthday,
#iamgrateful and #iamthankful that you are my sis, our sis, and Tito Foi to the max…and know this song might as well have been written by all of us for you Anu Kiran.

MY SIS
Can sing. I know. I shared a wall with our shower growing up and heard her every morning. 
Her voice is magical. She’s the only person I will listen to intently when a religious song is being represented. When Anaiya was young, she would gravitate toward my sis when she was singing. Maybe it’s why Anaiya sings so much right now.
#iamgrateful and #iamthankful for my sis finding her passion…and for her HAPPY BDAY JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!!

SEQUELS THAT MATTER
Star Wars? DC Comics? Despicable Me or Cars? The sequel I am, unequivocally, most excited to see? This one. The first goes down as one of my favorite action films of all time. I expect them not to screw this up and deliver well instead.
#iamgrateful and #iamthankful for the Kingsman, the parkour, the way they handled Comic-Con, and for being a day closer to this thing being released.

CHANGING MINDS
Have you ever successfully changed someone’s mind on something political (perspective), religious (belief), or sports related (say, GOAT)? Would love to hear your story. I don’t think I ever have. I am certain I haven’t actually. So I am wondering if it is possible? Or if these three categories of conversations are so entrenched and so fundamental…but also, so rife with conjecture, POV, and interpretation, that they make for infinite debate (which is why we perpetuate them) and an environment where everyone can walk away validates and “knowing they were right.”
#iamgrateful and #iamthankful for all the discourse regardless.

BA
It is one of…nix that — it is my favorite word on the planet. Have you ever had one? Have you ever had a “Ba”? If not? You missing out!!! Ba means “dad’s mom” in so many ways. But when you are me…it also means the highest form of royalty. It means that person who loves unconditionally. It means that person who values honestly. It means unwavering commitment. Ba’s give the purest love.
Today we lost our “last” Ba. Early in the dat. She was magic. Not the magic I confer on my kids. Which is granted. But the magic I give to my … heroes. Which is just… earned. Every time I saw her she made me feel like I was a character straight out of Marvel or D.C. 
This Ba was worth every memory. I will cry myself to sleep for … a bit. But move on quickly. Because Ba would have wanted me to massage her head and love on. Move on. But know, Ba, I love you. And carry you forwards. It’s all my meager poor self can do.
#iamgrateful and #iamthankful for all those memories and that you made me think I had healing hands, while it was really your head and heart doing all that healing. Today is what it is. Your memory. Which is, all good hOmie! #whogottaba
