Goodbye to All That. Didion does it again. She was 29. I remember when I first visited New York City, I stepped out of the bus onto the curb outside Bryant park and looked up. The lights lit, the city grit, this was it. I turned around and said to my mother, “I want to […]

Nieuw Begin
There is a deep sense of satisfaction in doing what you love. No, I’m not simply saying this in the ‘big picture of life’ kind of way. Sitting on my bed, wrapped up in my comforter, warm tea and a candle by my bedside, and my Mac on my lap – writing – I’m certainly […]
Unlearning My Truths
Who am I? Who do I want to be? Who have I been all this time? About a year back I had somewhat of an existential crisis – ok maybe that is being a bit too dramatic, but truth be told I was at a point where I found myself asking all of life’s hard questions […]
Do You Ever Wander?
Yes wander, not wonder. When I was young (and free from my self-imposed inhibitions), my most favorite way to spend time was to wander off into the streets, seeking out the adventurous story I would spin in my mind. I would wander off down to the river, pretend I was stranded on undiscovered territory, surviving […]
What Do YOU Want?
It’s time. It’s that time, yes it has come. To answer this question, maybe even question it first. No one will tell you what to do, no one will stop you even. Isn’t that what we’ve always wanted? Independence, freedom of choice, of life? Well it’s here, and now. This post is one of those, […]
My Place
“I feel at home everywhere because I never really am home anywhere.” – Isamu Noguchi Now, more than ever, this sentiment holds true for me. I could have said these words, because that’s how much I feel them, live them. Just a few years ago I had a dream – to live in New York […]
Vacant
A position unfilled. There’s more than one way to look at everything. Life and its endless challenges, some familiar, some unknown, yet always there. But isn’t that what makes life a living? These past few days I’ve had this nagging feeling inside me that’s made me feel kind of insipid, like there is something missing, […]
A Simple Question
What is the one thing that if you could, you would want to do everyday, for the rest of your life? A simple question, or is it? A crucial answer. Although, how many of us can answer this with the blink of an eye? Then again, it is said, the feelings that are closest to […]
Can You Imagine Your Life?
I kept looking outside the widow, trying so hard to imagine that life. But I couldn’t. Something has fundamentally changed inside of me. The country house, the children’s playground in the backyard, the cars parked in the driveway, a lush garden, inside the house a warm atmosphere, dinner table set, a family, a home, […]
Are You There?
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 […]
