Imagine a utopian world where everything worked faultlessly and everyone lived in perfect harmony. If only life were a bed of roses and every day came with all things bright and beautiful. Unfortunately, that fairy tale doesn’t exist. Such a reality only existed in the Garden of Eden before the fall. For a more fitting …
Fun fact: Today is the 183rd day in 2023, which happens to be the year’s midpoint, with 182 days on both sides of the divide. I think it is significant enough to have its own special recognition, just like New Year’s Day. This information is unrelated to today’s discussion, but I thought it was interesting …
Shortly after a relatively productive summer that had me working on a few projects simultaneously, I suddenly slipped into what seemed like a burnout phase. It was so bad that I had to temporarily force-stop all my projects, including the blog, and only gave attention to external responsibilities that couldn’t be avoided. It totally came …
*Clears cobwebs and dusts the space* Hi fam! Been a hot minute in here… I’m not quite sure how to begin this post, but I guess it’s safe to start with some pleasantries. So, here’s me wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I know it’s overly belated with a quarter of …
It’s been over three months (98 days, to be precise) since the last post was published on this blog. I really didn’t plan to make a post today, but I woke up this morning determined to break the silence before it hits the 100-day mark. Where have I been? I’ll start by stating that it …

The first definition might be perceived as vulgar; the second, however, forms the basis of today’s discussion. Sitzfleisch is a German term that can be literally translated as “sitting flesh” or “sitting …
26 weeks gone in 2022 so far, and another 26 left on the calendar. On a scale of 1 – 10 (where “10” is “cruising through the year and absolutely crushing all your goals”, and “1” being “Goals? What are those?”), how well are you faring with your goals for the year? Hold on… Don’t …
As we strolled through the length of the ever-busy pedestrian street, heading for the bus stop, I suddenly became hyperaware of my surroundings. Time slowed down by a fraction, and the excessive busyness of the area seemed to fade as my focus sharpened. Situated in the city’s central area and leading up to the Kazan …
I grew up in a loving home. I never saw my parents quarrel and hardly witnessed any disagreement between them. My dad treated my mom with utmost love and respect, so much so that if you weren’t told, you wouldn’t be able to tell that there was a 12-year margin between them. I would later …
You must have heard of the saying that goes, “The only thing that is constant is change”. I find this aphorism to be quite intriguing, particularly for its paradoxical connotation.
