A few days ago I went to the store to finally buy an item I have been wanting to buy for quite a while now. It was in fact my third time to the store in just as many weeks: the first to check it out and give it a go, the second to buy it only to find it was completely out of stock and they were waiting for the factory to produce more, and this final time to put in an order for one. Except the shop seller as soon as he saw me came running over all excited, “We got some in, we

There are days when I do not feel inspired to write. When my mind feels empty. Alone. Solitary in its thoughts. The words are falling on paper like splots of ink and yet I am completely ignorant of the picture they will finally form. My usual recourse would have been to dull my mind in endless games on my phone. Endless scrolling through media that did nothing more than drain my soul of any feeling. I may have disconnected from that source of mindlessness but this was soon re

The last few years have brought changes that have left many if not all of us reeling and uncertain for our futures.

So then I started looking around and projecting all the other things I could let go of, each of these things I loved and treasured – and used-- At which point I

This morning I woke and didn’t even glance a thought towards picking up my phone. And even though I had to take it to the store to scan the tracing registration stuff and then took it out again to take pictures of my delicious breakfast, I still didn’t have a trace of an urge to churn open the internet or even check messages. Right no as I sit down to write, it is noon and everything is still in silent undisturbed mode. It feels good. I should mention here, especially as yest

First, before I suck you into my writing as most writers have habit to do, I would like to wish you, dear reader and fellow human, a wonderful and happy new year! Happy New Year to you! There is something fresh and crisp about the first day of a new year. The lure of a fresh start, a crisp beginning, a slate with no indelible marks in it – yet. If we are talking about a lunar new year, there is also the inevitable scurrying and bustle to clean our house til every nook and cra
