Every single time that I watch Schindler’s List, I an overwhelmed and overpowered by emotion, emotion no amount of tears do justice to. It comes down to one life-altering fact – an act, of kindness. If all the world’s a stage, and all of life’s a play, then in the many acts of it, in […]
Where the mind is without fear, fallacy, and falsity…. Lately, I’ve been thinking more and more about mental health – overall, as well as my own. How easy it is to take it for granted, to not check in on it, to not realize that it too, needs attention, care. Somehow, we are so quick to […]
To be here and to be alive, it simply is, the greatest. It took me just 2 hours outside of the city to realize how much I needed it, the whiff of nature, the breath of fresh air. So there I was, after 10 miles around the Appalachian trail, lying on plain ground, staring up […]
Are you there, living and breathing, right in this moment, are you there, here, present… I’m not a big believer in horoscopes, and not too knowledgeable about astrology. In fact, my only connection with it is part of my morning routine, when I skim through the Capricorn section of Daily horoscope. I started reading it […]
Tell me love, what have you seen today? This question depicted in a mural by Shiv Suleman at Clarion Alley in San Fransisco, it popped back into my head as I walked around Greenpoint in Brooklyn today.

This long weekend has been a classic case of my overthinking brain, doing it’s usual overtime activity. Except, something was different. That difference was my choice.

For you, a thousand times over… I was always the one to bottle up my feelings. In fact I became so good at hiding all emotions that belonged to me, that I had myself convinced of what I thought to be true, rather than what I felt to be true. I know I’m not the […]
Something I had read on the subway, somewhere between my daily journey from Brooklyn to Manhattan, some time in the constant changes of my self-transition. The thought lingered with me enough for me to note it down in my phone, and transfer it over into my notebook. My mind takes me back to it time and […]
This week’s New Yorker hosts a compelling read by journalist, Ben Taub, titled We Have No Choice. It is a story of young Nigerian girl, Blessing, and her journey from Benin City to Europe. The article covers so many topics. or should I say inhuman situations – human trafficking, prostitution, refugee conditions, smuggling, violence, blackmail […]
A top pick from one of the most frequently asked questions, I’m going to say from age 3, “Who do you want to be when you grow up?” What’s wrong with who I am? Simple, yet unsaid. A lot of questions raced through my mind while listening to Shane Koyczan’s TED talk – a plea for more […]
