What questions do you wrestle with?

Does the ease of sharing images on Insta make us appreciate life more? Does the ease of connecting on Facebook help drop our defenses? Does tracking a friend’s status on WhatsApp help us build trust?

Not afraid to be ordinary

I have to admit right at the outset that ever since I was a kid I disliked anything which was ‘normal’, ‘regular’, ‘conventional’.  I would often ask why rituals are done a certain way or why do I have to follow social rules which my brother didn’t have to follow. And you know what the … Continue reading Not afraid to be ordinary

For most of my 20’s I have been independent in terms of earning money and making life choices based on what I deemed was right for me.
