The year was 2007…
Nov 9, 2009
I remember shimmering skies and beautiful sunrises… Many, many clouded visions… Peaceful refuges from the storms of my mind… The warm glow of morning at home… But the early morning walk up to campus each day… Including the Stanley Road Sleepers… who would arrive well before first period, then camp out in their cars – … More The year was 2007…

My main goal – at that point – was to develop my self-discipline. Up till that point, it hadn’t been a very productive year in terms of … More Ramadaan reflections

Aug 21, 2009

So, although surprising, that Wednesday evening’s contractions seemed to be just the beginning of what might be a long, drawn-out process. I speak here of the … More Welcome to the world
