Birthdays are weird. You’re essentially celebrating making a whole revolution around the sun, and yet you get closer to your ultimate demise. I don’t think about death much, but birthdays are a good opportunity to reflect on our time here. I turned 29 yesterday, last day of pride month. It had never occurred to meContinue reading “Twenty nine”

The future
Every step I took, brought me closer to today. Every step I take, takes me closer to the promise of a tomorrow, where the clouds are silver,and the mist hugs you like an old friend of cold fire. Every moment of today, is another step to that far-flung future where the fire is ice andContinue reading “The future”
Love and carbon
I realized this poem has never been shared on this blog, so here it goes. It was first written in 2011, and published in August 2012 on my Deviantart profile. Posting it here for a full circle. Thank you for reading 🙂 What are we? Just a bunch of Carbon atoms, roaming freely in theContinue reading “Love and carbon”
Nineteen, and beyond
It’s that time of the year again. 2018 passed by so quickly, and still felt like the longest year of my life ever(don’t you hate it when that happens every year?😒). I have grown a lot this last year, maybe more than all previous years combined. 2019 brings me closer to being the magical ageContinue reading “Nineteen, and beyond”

Happy New Year
Another year has passed… another instance of "This flew by way too quickly"… another set of unfinished resolutions… another bunch of unfulfilled desires… and one more "this time I'll totally do it". Every 365 days, we do this dance. We run around, go through the motions of life, trying to convince ourselves that a newContinue reading “Happy New Year”

An open letter to all young women everywhere
Hi there! I have many things to say to you. But there are two things that I want to say the most.

Courage is not the absence of fear. It’s being afraid and doing what you have to do anyway.The third Doctor

When in Rome…
…do like Romans do. Time and again, someone is going to give you this advice, and most people don’t think of it as a big deal. In fact, this might be one of the most common advices flying around, and one of the most common advice to be completely ignored by people who have achievedContinue reading “When in Rome…”

Attending GNOME Asia 2016
I’m just back from the GNOME.Asia Summit 2016, and I must say that I’m equally exhilarated and humbled by the whole conference. The summit was a 3 day event, organized by the GNOME Asia team, and supported by the GNOME Foundation. There were a lot of GNOME Foundation members and directors at the event apartContinue reading “Attending GNOME Asia 2016”
An old poem
This poem has been moved from my old blog. I wrote it maybe 6-7 years ago, when I used to be in the existentialistic teen-age. 🙂 Enjoy, maybe..
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digitalContinue reading

Fathers’ Day
People are posting pictures, writing stuff on twitter and Facebook, and digging out old photos of their fathers; all the while I’m waiting for these few hours in a depressing train coach to pass, so I can go see him. When I think about Fathers’ day, I find it a bit weird. To those whoContinue reading “Fathers’ Day”
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehowContinue reading
