Rudyard Kipling set an impossibly tall order for 'man' with his poem 'If', and by all means it's a poem that could replace all religious texts. There is a lesson laced in every line of that poem. Not one word too much, not one word too little, it's just right. Right like that wish granted... Continue Reading →
What Did You Think It Was About?
People do whatever they can to keep themselves happy. Every single act of ours is an unconscious step in the direction to find happiness. Some find it along the way, some pin it on a destination, some attach it to a person, and some believe that it will be found in the world beyond. Making... Continue Reading →
Dialogue
His eyes are small. He doesn't look like he walks much. Neither does he look like he talks a lot. His face isn't one that you can read and know stories of how long he pored over his work to get it right. Or how his faint wrinkles show long hours of reading. You can't... Continue Reading →

Niceness, chivalry, and all that jazz
I believe in fried potato. I believe in watching tv shows on the tv instead of the laptop. So, when I sit down to write, I think of Christina Yang kicking some serious ass on Grey's Anatomy and I'm munching on chips, it should come as no surprise I'm in a happy space in my... Continue Reading →
