Bio

Welcome to my blog!

Kiran Mehdee

I am an artist, a writer of poetry, short sto­ries, essays and arti­cles, an actor and come­dian and a spoken word per­former. I’ve worked in I.T. since 2000, and am now back in school at the University of Toronto, pur­suing a degree in Social-Cultural Anthropology and Sexual Diversity Studies. My goal is to work as an edu­cator, and besides the very inter­esting and rel­e­vant topics I’m studying, my inter­ests also include art, music, dance, mythology, nature, ethics, comedy, phi­los­ophy, and animals.

Born in Karachi, Pakistan in the late 1970′s, I grew up partly in my country of birth and partly in the U.S., before moving to Canada in 2004, with my partner.nThis blog is just my per­sonal space to note things I like around the web and around the world – there’s no theme here other than “What Is On Kiran’s Mind Now” :) If you want to get updates/blog posts sent to you directly, simply sub­scribe using any of the methods in the right hand column (email, RSS, etc.)

While I do a lot of aca­d­emic writing at University, this blog is is a venue for me to talk about issues that matter to me, and to other people, in more gen­eral ways – ways that are not just for aca­d­emic con­sump­tion but can be acces­sible to the gen­eral public with varying levels of aca­d­emic expe­ri­ence. I tend to post here in spurts – some­times I will post everyday for a week, other times, I tend to either get bored with blog­ging and/or busy with other things in my life, and not post for weeks. I hope you don’t mind the erratic nature of my posting activity here. Check out the older posts too, they’re fun, and they’re all acces­sible via the Categories in the right hand column.

Please note that I mod­erate com­ments on this blog, pri­marily because I get a ton of spam com­ments that I filter out, but also because I do not tol­erate any type of abuse. You are wel­come to leave a com­ment on the posts, even if you dis­agree, as long as you can be respectful and present a rea­soned argu­ment for your opinion.
