Roundup 2018

In 2018, I slept better. All the way to the 365th night. It was a good, long sleep last night. Even the midnight celebrations in the neighbourhood failed to break it.

Taking Stock – 2012

This month as every year I do the mental thumbing through of the twelve '30 day sets' which I always feel have zipped past. The same "wait! wtf!" and "hold on... I don't even remember" ensues. This too has become ritualistic. And after a little more wallowing in the waters coloured with events, memories and … Continue reading Taking Stock – 2012 →
