Some Flowers Bloom in April

So you decided yesterday. You decided you no longer wanted to be a part of this world so you left for the next. They say not all flowers bloom in April, some take their time. You took your time, a brief moment and decided you had done blooming, this April the flowers refused to bloom. […]

Wandering When Not Lost

Not all those who wander are lost. J.R.R Tolkien This saying could not be more true, I’ve always been of the opinion that wandering should be an acceptable life choice rather than being considered nomadic blether and a desperate call for attention. I find it amusing that the chase is almost always more thrilling than […]

Waves

I’ve been on a hiatus for a while owing to a much needed break from social media, you can call it a social media cleanse of sorts. What led to it is another tale for another day. Today, I heard an old song that reminded me of my college days – the memories just flooded […]

Experiences That Shape Us

In order to love who you are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you.”- Unknown I read this quote today on the Gratitude app for iOS. It really resonated with me on a deep level.

What That Scent Reminds You Of: A Trip Down Memory Lane

As I type away on my laptop with Los Angeles by The Bird and The Bee playing on the radio, (it’s surprisingly catchy) I think of all the ways are memories are laced with the scent of a particular perfume or the music you were listening to at that time in your life. You shared […]

Reliving Fond Memories

Sometimes talking to the people you’re close to can be so rewarding. I had an hour long conversation with one of my bros. He’s actually my best friend’s elder brother but he’s like a brother and a dear friend to me. We spoke after quite a while and it was extremely refreshing. We spoke about […]

Jaffa Cakes!

The first time I had these ooey gooey delights was when I went to Newcastle Upon Tyne with my family for vacation. Circa 2010, those were the days when my friend (childhood family friend) used to call me “Turkish delight”. The name struck me as odd at the time, considering that I wasn’t of Turkish […]
