Goodbye and Goodnight, 2019

What a mixed bag of a year you’ve been, 2019! I started the year with a rather silly accident, leaving me to nurse a 4-week injury that lasted for a good 11 months! The injury wasn’t all bad though, we managed to sneak in a week-long trip to Sri Lanka. Resolution unlocked! I eased off…

830 Posts: That’s a Wrap, 2018!

When I started this space in 2011, and in effect the post a day challenge, it took me 18 days to get stuff out from my drafts. I ended the year with 350 posts, and given the passage of time, this milestone of 800+ should’ve been crossed years ago. But posting everyday, with a picture…

Bring on the Cheer

So, two cheers for Democracy: one because it admits variety and two because it permits criticism. ~ E. M. Forster

Cake Time

I celebrated my 34th birthday earlier this month. Cakes are usually synonymous with the big day of the year. I’m at an age where I’m at my fittest and financially more stable, I am in a zone where I can bake my own cake and eat it too. It’s time to unleash the superhero within…

He may bestow upon us conviction and confidence as we strive to achieve worthy…

Let There Be Light!

When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. ~Tecumseh

Pop Goes The Weasel

I have loved merry-go-rounds right from my early childhood. It was the right kind of ‘calculated risk’, you get a ‘safe’ adventure ride, you get to ride a horse without the fear of falling off, and it’s a lot of fun. What is the title hinting at, you wonder? Well, it’s the second line of…

Small Joys

Eyes speak a lot of things. I have always been a fan of looking into the eyes of women and men with whom I have conversations. Eyes reveal the unsaid things. The innocence, the flirtations, and the naughtiness all emanate from the eyes… ~ Avijeet Das

There is a good life. The good news is that you can live that good life. The good life is the happy life. To live this good life, be happy! A truly happy man is a good man. The face of a truly happy man seldom lacks smiles. ~Ogwo David Emenike, Happiness Recipe: Eat and…

Older, Wiser, Stronger

The first few days of the year often take me on the road to memory lane, it is my time to look back and be grateful. I turned 33 in 2017, and it was a year of new beginnings. As I reminisce, I seem to be stuck on this one picture taken on my birthday….
