I&#8217;ve been in the snow, becoming quite unhinged since my last blog. Munich and the DLD Conference was a source of great satisfaction and not just from the sausages and beer.
I was awestruck by an astronomer from Harvard who gave a talk on how to identify life on other planets. I was somewhat shy to [...]]]></description>

Well, after the New Year&#8217;s Eve fiasco involving lost keys and flat tyres, I had all good intentions of staying home for a while &#8211; till, for example, July.
But the very next week we had an invitation to our friend Sarah&#8217;s birthday party. Now Sarah is a highly respected neuroscientist, so I prepared with a [...]]]></description>

So, I had New Year’s Eve all planned out. Our first New Year’s in our new home. Hanan’s dodgy and recently dislocated knee would have a rest, my brain would be gently marinated in champagne, and the last two chickens that had survived Christmas at Waitrose supermarket would be roasted. I had (almost) figured out [...]]]></description>

I’m writing this in the waiting room of a medical centre, where Hanan has just left me to get an MRI on her dislocated kneecap.
I watched her go, leaning in pain on her stick, my eyes moist. 
‘Are you sure I can’t come in with you?’ I whispered, all but hanging on to her good [...]]]></description>

Namaste, now that we are back from glorious India where we were winding down 2011 and getting ready for 2012.
This is Hanan here, writing my yearly blog for Shamim, as I promised her and I am good at keeping to calendar tasks!
Like India itself, I was conflicted as I left from Delhi with a heavy [...]]]></description>

I stood in the courtyard of a palace in Jaipur, wearing a fragranced rose garland around my neck, listening to the drum-laden charm of Indian folk songs and watching the most incredible lunar eclipse in the sky above the old stone towers around me. It was a moment to savour. Or perhaps, just to capture&#8230;
‘Come [...]]]></description>

So we whipped Hanan over to the doctor’s the other day. Since the last doctor we hung out with was tall, blonde and funny German actress Maria Furtwangler, I decided to accompany her, both for support but also for to ensure she wasn’t given a close exam by a model.
The consultant was lovely, and male. [...]]]></description>

So we got a lovely email from ArtistFirst Radio this morning. You may remember that in April 2010 I did an hour long show for them over in the US.
That show has been downloaded and listened to 880,000 times and is on track to pass a million hits and my interview is now in the [...]]]></description>

Loving this music video cut by a very talented young editor, Mercy Ankama, who also did our behind-the-scenes video for The House of Tomorrow. This remix of the title song was composed by Claire Griffiths who composed an entire, brilliant score for the movie, and Hanan added lyrics that encompassed some of the key ideas [...]]]></description>
