Two nights ago, I tossed left and right in my bed , restless and not knowing what I have been missing these past few days. Isolation takes a toll and there are days that I can’t bear the reclusivity. Those were the days when I felt that I don’t differ to the things you can find [...]

The words infiltrate a mind’s sovereign
colonizing a niche of space within
Rock-hewn among these parched walls,
petrifying civilization, quelling revolution.
The maze of letters clustered like jungle
to simmering cauldron of thoughts.

Of bourgeoisie killing ideology-
etching history in its annals of freedom.
Crusade to [...]

Like changing of seasons
drifting away-
a gentle river
changing course.
I became-
a passersby
to the playground.
To the carousel.
On one bleak, cold

What if I finally embark on a mission to indigenous lands? How can I accept their way of life? Will I accept their culture as superior than I have born with and satisfied with? Will I ever change my way of life and draw some inspiration and become like them-unwary of the stress of the [...]

There are three words to learn if you want to be in harmony with almost anyone. This is sorry-if you have unintentionally hurt or done mistake against someone. Another is thank you -if you have received in gratitude any kind of help from someone else. And the last word is please-if you need something or simply asking [...]

There is a witty comment I came across in a meeting some days ago. I was clutching my pencil, nervously waiting for an hours’ worth of ceremonious talking to end, when suddenly, someone blurted out that the solution is plainly simple. “It doesn’t take a rocket idea to resolve the problem, don’t make it too [...]
