I am generally considered arrogant; that I often have difficulties walking the line between confidence and arrogance. Those who know me well pass it off as dry humor at times and usually correctly adopt ridicule as a countermeasure. Those who don’t know me well assume the worst and walk away. It has made me wonder[…]
Who needs a bell? Last year was a massively good year for me. It totally deserved a hearty end-of-the-year review. It could have certainly used a fitting description of all my wonderful travels, experiences and memorable birthdays. But I am afraid I am beginning to lose the lust for reviewing days gone past. I found[…]
After the long flight home, my mind is unusually buzzing with thoughts. As soon as I step of the plane on to my homeland, my vision is overloaded with information. I observe the similarity and the irregularity of my surroundings. Throughout the small walk to the baggage claim, through immigrations and into the taxi waiting[…]
David stirred in the silent night. His habit of sleeping with windows open had often welcomed noises of nature from outside. A disturbance he occasionally needed to fall asleep. But on this night, not a soul outside was awake. No wind rustled any leaves and the lack of a moon heightened the blackness. She then[…]
During my recent failed attempts of going to bed early, I was meandering on twitter and Facebook threads of nothingness when I stumbled on an internet forward listing the “First world problems”.

I have being doing my part by instigating discussions on topics that I quickly lose traction on. It is dangerous to use Wikipedia to fuel your thirst since it never really quenches it, even if[…]
As a bright eyed graduate I had well and truly established the understanding of big words like passion and ambition. Back in 2004 I had made a 5-slide presentation to describe my qualities via the personalities of famous cars. It was a presentation that I thought was spectacular. I had defined myself in 5 words,[…]
Even if he didn’t like to admit it, he wasn’t exactly sure what he was doing standing in line with the other kids, dressed in a bright red T shirt and fairly tight black cycling shorts. The other kids around him were the usual sort; filled with disinterest, cracking paltry jokes and agreeably waiting on[…]
Closing the book on 2012 The last few years and my late twenties have sped past me at a very rapid rate. The speed was worrying but the fact that it wasn’t measurable was terrifying. Granted there was a major milestone in the form of my gorgeous Lotus Elise and few other road trips, vacations[…]
