Well today, like most days before that, has been a thought-inducing day for me. This morning I visited my therapist for the last time, for now, and so a significant period of time in my life, in a way, came to an end. Life is a series of parallel processes, and here was one that … Continue reading Doors, opening, closing

Writing on writing
The role of creative endeavour in one's life and happiness is what I've been thinking about (among millions of other things of course) in the last few days. My work life is, like for many other people too, stress/frustration/anxiety -inducing, on some days more than on some others, and I have to actively come up … Continue reading Writing on writing
Pihla discusses downshifting, FOMO etc. totally passé concepts
I'm a bit late for this party, downshifting is so three years ago! Fear of Missing Out has probably been discussed to death also.

I could be working, meeting people and helping … Continue reading Today in the life and times of a Masters student
Some thoughts on school
I started back at university last week. I am sure my enthusiasm will wane in time with approaching deadlines, but for now, I am 'Happy as Larry' (those of you who ever watched the Scheme will now chuckle) to be reading Big Books about Big Things. I want to talk about my thesis and the … Continue reading Some thoughts on school
