2014, oh 2014, what a year you’ve been. You’ve given us the ALS ice bucket challenge, the World Cup, and the Ebola scare. We saw the Ferguson riots, NY riots, and movements around the world too. And sadly, we lost many people, including one of my favorite actors Robin Williams. 2014 has been quite the year for many reasons.

As I reflect upon the past 12 months, it’s a trip that it’s already been a year. It seems like time flies faster and faster the older I get (or maybe I’m having THAT much fun? Lol). Every year, instead of simply revisiting the news, I revisit my year. From highlights in music and videos to where I’ve been and what I’ve seen, this past year has been quite the amazing one. I saw a lot, did a lot, and learned a lot too. I grew, I progressed, and I overcame. And I sound like quite the philosopher right now haha. Well anywayyy, with that said I present to you one of my favorite columns that I love putting together every year around this time…MY 2014 year in review.

“No I’m not lucky, I’m blessed, yes”
– Nicki Minaj on “Moment 4 Life”

There are some moments in my life when I have to take a moment, reflect, and recognize just how blessed I am. This is one of those moments. In fact, there have been many of them over the last few months. It’s been a surreal time in my life, and I can’t help but be thankful for everything. It really is an amazing time in my life.

Taken from the press release:

California to Orlando – “Water, No Ice” is an online South Asian portal in attempt to provide their readers with political, cultural and social issues that most concern us, covering both Indian roots and American lifestyle. The writers of “Water, No Ice” want to profile the members of the South Asian community who are making an impact in their own unique way, and this month they’ve featured Orlando-based rapper Ajaxxx.

Author Vidya Pradhan has found her calling as a writer, contributing not only to “Water, No Ice,” but also to a local community paper in Fremont, California where she lives. Pradhan sat down with Ajaxxx and the two discussed everything from his recent trip to India to rapping against violence and his heavy future as a rapper.
