for those of you who do not know me very well, if you keep reading, you will quickly get a pretty good idea about what i’m all about. i can honestly say that the most bizarre, serendipitous, extraordinary things happen to me on a daily basis. true story.

actually, i always thought i would write a book called “movie moments” that would be an expose, of sorts. in a nutshell, it would be the “story of my life” limited to no more than 2 hours of content so that it could be shown on the big screen. this means that i would edit out anything that didn’t have some sort of interesting undertone or significance, regardless of whether it was a positive or negative experience.

this blog is actually a series of “movie moments” meant to take the place of an actual book. while it brings me pleasure to be able to share with you, i must be honest and admit that inside, i am already dealing with the disappointment of not being able to walk the red carpet at the premiere of my much dreamt about blockbuster.

i want to learn to enjoy everything that i do and everything that happens to me, even if it’s not what i expected or thought i needed. i want the end of every story to be quickly followed by the beginning of the next story…

a little about mona:

best described as gregarious & fairly intense, mona has revealed that she was born with the desire to publicize and has been doing so for as long as she can remember.

“one of my earliest memories involves generating business for my imaginary, yet highly reputable pediatric clinic by offering free flintstone vitamins to the first 30 kids in my apartment complex who came in for a ‘brain exam,’” commented the new york-born first-generation indian-american (dots, not feathers – for those who may be confused).

possessing a true passion for planning, mona prides herself for not only having the desire, but also the ability, to turn an ordinary occurrence into an “event.” often asked what she does “for a living,” she often labels herself as a “connector.”

“i am constantly coming across so many interesting and amazing people who comprise my ever-expanding network of acquaintances who, ironically, only reinforce how small the world really is,” reveals the single (and looking) young thirty-something. “i truly believe that we are all connected, or should be, in some way; like we are all just pieces of one great jigsaw puzzle and life’s all about figuring out how we all fit together – that’s what makes it all so much fun!”

although she admits that her high expectations and need to be amazed, have led her to manage her expectations on a regular basis, she is still constantly craving the “experience.”
