I used to love reading and I did it any chance I got. I'd stay up late with a torch reading a book under the covers until I could keep my eyes open no longer and as soon as I woke up I'd start reading again. It was something so simple that brought me so … Continue reading The love of reading

I work better when I’m busy
Often when we’re busy we’re overwhelmed and stressed. We find ourselves only hoping and wishing for things to slow down. We tell ourselves when I’m not so busy I’ll have more time for x, y and z. And we believe it too. But I often find that the busier I am the better I am … Continue reading I work better when I’m busy
Spending time
Imagine if you took a break from Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, TV and Facebook. How much more time would you have each week? And if you used that time to work on something you truly care about or something that will benefit you like learning a new skill, learning a new language, studying, writing your book … Continue reading Spending time
I’ll do it tomorrow
But you've been saying that for the past few weeks now. Tomorrow often seems more convenient or maybe you just hope you'll be more in the mood to get it done. That's how hours or days turn into weeks, we hold this belief that we should wait until we're in the mood but you may … Continue reading I’ll do it tomorrow

Do you remember 4 years ago?
I recently bumped into someone that I hadn't seen in 4 years. Sure we follow each other on social media but we don't interact with each other much. So what was so amazing is that things fell right into place as though no time had passed, in the best possible way. This person even brought … Continue reading Do you remember 4 years ago?

I think it's difficult to let go of a friendship where the passing of time has changed the way things were. But there's only so much you can give and there's only so much you should … Continue reading Waiting for flames
Procrastination and the minimum time for completion
There's a theory that says something along the lines of- the more time you have to do something the longer it'll take to do. That's how how I justify my procrastination. Because the longer I take to start the less time it'll take.
45 Minute friendship
So there we were 2 strangers on the train sitting in first class. The train had come to a standstill as there were some issues at the train ahead. We heard a voice over the loudspeaker suggesting that depending on our destination we should either get off the current train and travel via a different … Continue reading 45 Minute friendship
7.15am
So this hasn't hasn't happened before and I'm not sure how I feel about it. For the first time since I started daily blogging I missed my 7.15am posting time. I thought I had something scheduled but it turns out I was wrong. But maybe I'll use this little slip up as a point of … Continue reading 7.15am
