“You can’t take a picture of this. It’s already gone.” It becomes a haunting quote upon second thought, even more so because I’m using it as a subtitle. Every second is a fleeting moment, and nothing proves it better than a photograph. When you bury a casket six feet below the frost line, it’s gone, Read More …

Life’s quest feels most meaningful when you are creating something from nothing. It gets all the more exciting and challenging when it is a story prompt from a fellow writer friend. While it was initially supposed to be a 5,000-word story, I ended up tripling it, and it became a year-long project. More words should Read More …

When you feel nothing major, you feel no motivation to learn or create. You don’t even have the energy to reply to friends. It’s hard to say what happens to you when you get older. It’s not wisdom that comes with age; it’s apathy. Like from hereon, the heart dies faster than you had first Read More …

This book is 110 years old and more relevant than anything I’ve read recently. I read this 600-page Bildungsroman within three months and did not want it to end. There is no joy in finishing one book after the other when you can savour the protagonist’s experiences slowly, and that’s when you’re fully invested in Read More …

It feels good to listen to music that you love. Working all week with chill lo-fi in the background helps keep you in that regular work bubble without associating anything else with it. The last thing you want is your favourite music running while working. It’s interesting how certain types of music connect our thoughts Read More …

Deep connections were either never there in the first place, or they faded due to people changing, different life Read More …

Sun Square Mars—How do you navigate the suffocating emotions towards productive and creative outlets when you don’t have the means to recharge? This is when the craving for escape becomes the strongest, but still, it’s not strong enough to convince me to do what I need to do. Having just one foot out the door Read More …

You look at people, and they bore the hell out of you because you won’t ever know them. Their facade is intact, whereas yours is not. Why do they make all that effort to hide what’s beneath? Most human interaction is surface-level, and it makes me want to cry sometimes. Not many people enjoy bonding Read More …

It is funny and weird that I stumbled across someone who is currently doing the same master’s degree as I did in 2010—same class, same tutor. Of course, it had me reminiscing about that time. But what bothers me the most about all that is realising how fast ten years can pass and how soon Read More …

[*includes some spoilers*]   The trailer had me judge the series too soon. Seeing masked men in red and a bunch of people wearing green tracksuits just didn’t strike me as interesting. In fact, movies like Hunger Games, Battle Royal, The Purge, Hostel, Would You Rather, and other stuff went through my head, and I Read More …
