About Death
The universe was made with secrets of The Creators. Some are revealed, while others remain arcane. One thing that will stay as a secret is death. Sometimes, He’s kind enough to knock on the door to tell the folks that it won’t be long. Other times, He might whisper to one or two, dropping hints…

On Falling in Love
Few months ago, I asked someone I can trust to answer this: “Falling in love can never be wrong, can it?” And his answer, somehow, has satisfied me since then. “You’ll never know until you fall out of love. Only then you can reflect upon what you’ve been through.” Thank you, Mamet.

Barcelona: Wandering, Lost, and Falling in Love

A Thank You Note Before the Graduation
Thesis is a long way behind, and now I’m counting the days till the graduation day. Still, there’s something missed because I haven’t thanked people properly.

A Little Thing that We Miss
Once, my friend asked me what made you so special. I told her that when I had been a child, I had been so easily fascinated by little things; like animal-formed clouds, rainbow after the rain, a flying seagull on the blue sky, or simply just a popsicle on a sunny day. She asked me…
