Lemons; In the Kitchen; Blenders
In a recent post, I noted that I did not get the lemons I wanted so I used limes instead. I was watching a video recently where the woman complained that she could not find the lemons she wanted to use for making lemon water for breakfast. It was good information (link to video: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/RyygSt9QV2X38nFM/?mibextid=oFDknk). The Continue reading

Guyanese Waters
Guyana typically has dark waters not blue or aqua waters like other Caribbean islands (the blue lake in Linden is an exception). And, Guyana is home to a salty Atlantic Ocean, something other Caribbean islands do not have. (Photo from a Visit Guyana reel: https://fb.watch/rfSjqDd3KL/?mibextid=Nif5oz) Continue reading

Snack
Responding to a prompt from Visit Guyana: In primary school (in Guyana), snack referred to food for lunchtime. My mother prepared my snack each day then packed the snack in my lunch kit (lunch box) for me to take to school. My snack was usually five-finger drink and coconut buns (not cross buns). I did Continue reading

Hat Competition
Good morning from Linden, Guyana! Happy Good Friday! I was impressed by an Easter hat competition held at a Government of Guyana Agency recently. The hat competition is such a good idea. I recall that a lot of Guyanese women like hats, especially straw hats. My grandmother always wore a hat to church. I have seen Continue reading

Breakfast; Easter; Starbucks
Good morning from Amelia’s Ward, Linden, Guyana! It is a good morning. I am having coffee and cross buns (thanks to a friend of my sister who must have made lots and lots of cross buns for her family). I wanted cross buns and a kite for Easter. I have the cross buns. I hope Continue reading

A peek at building examples in Guyana
A recent post by Visit Guyana showed examples of modern office buildings in Guyana that I associate with downtown areas: (Link: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/Y7zt6EzGJxtDQ4Dv/?mibextid=Nif5oz) I am not affiliated with the Visit Guyana page. Continue reading

Downtown Areas
I stumbled upon an interesting article on developing downtowns. Here it is: https://www.bdcnetwork.com/investing-downtowns-pays-cities-regions?page=3 More economic/business activity should lead to more demand for office and manufacturing space, which should lead to more investment in downtown areas. In Guyana, Georgetown has the largest and most established downtown area (which makes sense as it is the capital). The downtown Continue reading

Phagwah-time
It is Phagwah-time in Guyana! I recall that when I was a child, some people celebrated Phagwah by throwing water to soak others. (More on Phagwah at: https://exploreguyana.org/event/phagwah/ – I am not affiliated with the website. The colors in the pictures remind me of spring in the U.S.) Continue reading

Sugar
I like the 1kg package (small bag) of sugar from the Guyana Sugar Corporation (Guysuco). I remember those days from my childhood when my parents bought a big bag (25-pound bag I believe) of sugar, a big bag of flour, and a big bag of rice for the family. If I remember correctly, those purchases Continue reading

Kite
I thought about the kite I want to get. I would like to get a standard Guyanese kite dressed up with ears and other accessories in earth tones. The ears should be made with paper with horizontal blocks of color (similar to the color example shown below, which is from my ‘The Right Color’ board Continue reading
FEATURED
I am working to be published.
I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.
About THIS BLOG
I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.
I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
I welcome comments. Submit your comments and feedback at any time. I prefer that you use Facebook for comments, but feel free to comment in any of the blogs or on Twitter.
