Calmness wasn’t really a choice in the days of yore. It came naturally, like the change of seasons or like the waxing and waning of the moon. Slowly with modern life tumbling in and completely eclipsing the ancient one, we have to now “choose” […]

Is Social Media for Writers?
Out of curiosity I decided to give Mastodon a look (although I did not log in per se or create an account for that matter). The Vivaldi Social site allows onlookers to peek into their system without creating an ID or logging into it. […]
A Saffron Solitude
An earlier post was deleted in order to make way for this one. Somehow the earlier one did not do justice to my evolving thoughts. Or did it ? Snatches of memories pin me down to my internal solitude. A banyan tree seen long […]
A Busy Bee in Winter

Merci Beaucoup Vivaldi !
Came to the conclusion while getting my work organised today that since I’ve been using Vivaldi and all its attached services, my writing has become more streamlined and stress free. I know that there are various browsers out there and I’ve used quite a […]
WYSIWYG
WYSIWYG or What You See Is What You Get is a famous acronym used quite frequently in the Internet parlance. However, though it may be true in case of most things including the world wide web and human beings in general, it is definitely […]
