I know, I know… it’s been a minute in here:) As at the time of publishing this post on the last Sunday in February (where I drew parallels between my life and the movies), I knew I would not be putting up any new post on here for some time. What I didn’t know was …
“…Cut!… Take-Two… Action!…” Lately, I’ve been looking into the concept of screenwriting (the art of writing scripts for movies and related things), and I didn’t come about this new hobby of mine arbitrarily. As to why I’m exploring this form of writing, that’ll be a story for another day. Ever seen a movie that had …
The month of February met me traveling. I had my final exam for the semester towards the end of January. Barely two hours later, I was on a train on my way to Moscow, where I visited a friend for a few days. I was soon on the road again. At the brink of the …
The last few weeks have been unexpectedly chaotic for me —so much so that it became necessary for me to take a “sabbatical” break from all the tasks on my table. I spent an entire day in the outgoing week unplugged from everything, doing nothing but basking in as much solitude as I could afford …

It’s my 6th consecutive Christmas away from home, and this one hits different. The Christmas season has always been my favourite time of the year, and I always looked forward to every single one of the 16 Christmas holidays I spent with my family before having to leave home in 2016 for study purposes. If …
It is said that a writer’s worst enemy is the blank page… But is the blank page really the enemy? I would naturally want to agree with that notion. At least, it provides me something to blame for my inability to have these blog posts ready until the publish date. I would often spend the …
When was the last time you were bored? Not the “flipping through channels looking for what to watch” kinda boredom, or scrolling through your playlist seeking that jam you love. I’m not referring to those. I mean, boredom without options. You know, that type that leaves you rethinking all your life decisions. Yeah, that’s the …
1st November 2020 wasn’t just any other regular Sunday. It was the launch date of this blog. I had spent the preceding two months building and tinkering with it. Finally, I was ready to roll it out. I vividly remember the day the idea crystallized in my mind. It was late August of the same …
