Circe by Madeline Miller

I have never been into greek mythology until Circe. I didn’t even get past reading Odyssey – one of my goals is to read it again… Miller wrote so beautifully that I felt as though the character, Circe was right next to me. Her life despairs, challenges and state of living were starkly different from […]

Antrophocene World – Yes or No?

Recently, I have been reading books on Antrophocene, the rise of humankind and our revolutions in the past centuries. One book in particular – Half-Earth: Our Planet’s Fight for Life, discusses the danger of an antrophocene world or rather, a world whereby we let creatures we disdain extinct and we preserve creatures or Earth habitants […]

I haven’t written in a while and didn’t expect the next post will be this somber but here it is. Feelings are so hard to understand. Sadness and anger for instance, they destabilise your emotions and trigger strong emotions. They sometimes come together, for different or similar reasons. I am trying to separate my feelings […]

Someone who loves you will never put themselves in a position to lose you

I saw this quote the other day and thought how true. If someone truly cares for you, truly wants you in their life, they will never ever risk losing you. This means they will not do things or behave in a way that makes you not want it anymore. Be it friendship, love, or just […]

Reading how many books a day will you say is too much? I tried taking my reading one book at a time but ended up in my couch with four self-help books, a fiction and a kindle last week. A said it is good to switch it up once in a while. I don’t have […]

I still love what I do When I first heard Steve Jobs’ uttered those words, I couldn’t really decipher what he meant. Loving what you do… Is that considered a vocation? Is there such thing as doing what you and still get paid for it? Fast forward now, three years plus has passed since I […]
