The succession of precious pursuits
Mar 23, 2010
Fly, Fly, Fly away. Away from this place of never-ending assignments. A cog in the wheel of production – and you must be efficient; A small part of the assembly line in this knowledge factory that seems to never rest. Write, Write, Write what you want to write about. Free, Free, Free your mind from … More The succession of precious pursuits
The Beg Issue
Mar 11, 2010
Most – probably all of us – have seen them. Hanging out at the traffic lights; waiting near the shops; collapsed in despair in some shoddy, makeshift home of cardboard and paper. They ask you for small change – a few cents, sometimes a bigger amount. Sometimes they want food. Sometimes a job. And many … More The Beg Issue
She Flaps
Mar 5, 2010
She flaps her chubby little arms in excitement, as if she wants to take off – my little birdie, trapped inside a human body. She slaps arms, knees, skin – whatever takes her fancy, and she’s thrilled about it; the kind of raw excitement a grown-up will probably never know again. She babbles incoherent sounds … More She Flaps

This post is part of a game initiated by Liya, so take your best guess as to where this picture was taken. It may be obvious to some, so if you’re sure of the answer, don’t reply too soon. Let others have a chance first 🙂
Mister Y’s mysteries (part 4): The Night Visitor
Jan 19, 2010
(Just like The Case of the Missing Socks, the following mystery is also based on a true story) Just as I was about to retire for the night, I was alerted to the possibility of an intruder…or, as I like to call this category of intruder, a “visitor.” “Don’t be alarmed,” said my wife, “but … More Mister Y’s mysteries (part 4): The Night Visitor
Life Lessons (Introduction and Part 1)
Jan 6, 2010
A few years ago, when I became an ‘adult’, I found that life as a grown up can be rather overwhelming. This realisation didn’t come about because I suddenly turned 18, or 21, or whatever age you think adulthood officially begins. Those milestones were already a few years behind me already. I define adulthood as … More Life Lessons (Introduction and Part 1)
