February is already upon us. In fact we can safely state that 2023 is already a toddler. Time flies fast and so does the ever spinning world around us. Days fly by and nights wade through invisible moments. I’ve not been able to make […]

A Writer Never Gives Up !
Much of January has passed and I’ve seriously not had an opportunity to concentrate on my writing. Blame it on the circumstances at work (with the examination season in full bloom and with piles of assignments on my desk to check). My birthday too […]
Au revoir 2022 et Bienvenue 2023
One of the best decisions I took this year was to start this blog. Incidentally, I have always been a diarist per se, be it on blogs or writing in diaries or scraps of paper. Documenting my thoughts has always been an essential part […]

The Importance of Being Original
Picked up “Waves” by Virginia Woolf from the library at work today. She has always been a favorite writer. Maybe because her voice is extremely original. The first time I read “Mrs. Dalloway” or “Orlando” I was rather taken aback by her strong voice, […]
Becoming Calm…
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” […]
