I went out for lunch with some school friends today. The last time that I met them was years ago, the last time we had a conversation that lasted more than two minutes was months ago. I've never been one to maintain friendships that have run their course; most times, I stop making an effort… Continue reading ‘Different’

Clay
Have you ever wondered about who you are? What are those little things that make you into you? What are your likes, dislikes and characteristics? Who are you? The thought just occurred to me a couple moments ago. I was laying in bed, watching a video and it happened, I asked myself: Who am I?… Continue reading Clay
Zig-zagging
Let's, just for a moment, hypothetically assume that everything we wish to achieve lies on a single straight line. Along the straight line are various checkpoints of wants, desires and achievements.

I want to be someone who has sampled innumerous cuisines and set foot in unpronounceable… Continue reading A chaotic, whirlwind kind of life
