I come to this thought after seeing so many reboots and remakes and retellings and all those 're-'s out there. Of all them, the one that led me down this path of thinking was the possible Harry Potter reboot (which I might probably watch if it happens - any excuse to return to Hogwarts.) But … Continue reading Is Creativity Dead?

The changing scenes of life
The theme for this year was/is growth and perspective (did I mention). And I think I'm seeing that in some places. But life certainly always gets in the way of the best laid plans. Which ties in to something I'm learning the most - you can't control what you can't control and that's okay. So … Continue reading The changing scenes of life
When’s the right time to move on?
I come at this thought with the firm understanding that life happens differently for everyone. Some people can give you a rough picture of what the rest of their life will look like at 19. And others are still getting it together at 40...what the heck - 26, at 26. I'm thinking of this in … Continue reading When’s the right time to move on?
Those Rainy Morning Thoughts
Pluviophile (n) : Someone who loves the rain and practically comes alive on rainy days - paraphrased. One of the most alluring thoughts as I thought of quitting my 9-5 job and working from home was the ability to sleep in on rainy mornings. And I can happily say 8 months in and it's still … Continue reading Those Rainy Morning Thoughts
Try to quit other bad habits too…
Some days I could be on my bed, trying to sleep or read a book and the little voice in my head will go off 'you can't concentrate till you chew something'. Or going through my day trying to work and I will feel so unsettled till I get it. And I won't care how … Continue reading Try to quit other bad habits too…
I quit writing
A little dramatically too, if I'm being honest (lots of tears, some letters, some anger, a few accusations, some resignation). I dedicated the song 'Let you go' from HSMTMTS to my first love and put a lid on it. That meant an altering of life long dreams and it put my current career path in … Continue reading I quit writing
Halfway 26
Today I'm exactly halfway 26 (not that we can trust my math or anything, even with something that simple). I've probably been missing for most of this time (with some reason and some extra self-pity). I think the older we get, we understand how much of an illusion time is - blink and the year … Continue reading Halfway 26
In the face of doubt
I hope your February was merry. And love filled 😏. And that your March has started off well. Its Women's month so I hope you are on the look out for injustices against women (which are many) and righting those wrongs. I intend to show up this March, add my voice to some of the … Continue reading In the face of doubt
We were strangers
I came across the poem below from 2019 (unbelievable as it may sound that's all of three years ago). So some context - outside a shared institution, I realised a shift in some friendships. And I started to think about what a friend is, how far you draw in friends, what you say and what … Continue reading We were strangers
Still on that search for good fantasy
I'm here to report some progress on my fantasy reading/watching/search. If you read this post from a few weeks ago, you might know about that. I'll blame that on Flamefall by Rosaria Munda. Need something like that. To take me out of Uganda with its fuel crisis and strange weather for January for just a … Continue reading Still on that search for good fantasy
