When I was in Chefchaoen, Morocco in 2009 and looking out from the rooftop of the hostel I was overtaken by a feeling of awe and amazement at the sheer size and scale of the world. #travel #storytelling #writing #spirituality #love #connection #morocco

Endless money, endless time and endless health
You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for? Endless money: they say money corrupts people, it’s certainly possible that having endless money would make me a different person. I would likely become too lazy with endless money, however I would like to think that I’d use the endless money to resolve theContinue reading “Endless money, endless time and endless health”
Imaginary philanthropy
If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to? Today’s thought-provoking question about who you would donate to if you had 1 million dollars reveals a lot about what people care about. There’s a lot of injustice and state-sponsored violence going on in the world. I would give 1Continue reading “Imaginary philanthropy”
I love to read 📚
What is your favorite hobby or pastime? Not that anybody need care about that. This is more of an announcement to myself. It is deeply significant to me and my favourite thing to do. Reading opens up infinitely unique and interesting worlds for me that never existed before. There are so many unique pleasures associatedContinue reading “I love to read 📚”
I could do more socialising
What could you do more of? I’ll be honest I love reading 📚, writing, walking and listening to podcasts and cycling. All of these things rarely involve other people and I’m just fine with that. I love immersing myself in these activities and often find other people a distraction. Overall, socially distancing for me duringContinue reading “I could do more socialising”

Which topics would you like to be more informed about? If only I had the time. It’s ok though, one can only achieve what they can physically and mentally manage during their allotted 4000 weeks.

Red flags: extreme narcissism and self-absorption
What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you? I should preface this by saying, every single one of us has the tendency to experience the idea that the world encircles us in ever-growing concentric orbits. That we are the central axis of the world, at some stages of our lives. When IContinue reading “Red flags: extreme narcissism and self-absorption”
The dodgy B-grade VHS movies of my childhood
What TV shows did you watch as a kid? It wasn’t until I was an adult that I realised that the cartoon Gummy Bears wasn’t just in English, it was syndicated all over the world and many other kids knew this theme song in their own language. Here’s the theme song in dozens of differentContinue reading “The dodgy B-grade VHS movies of my childhood”
Polymer clay figurine making is a small big pleasure
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. As a long-time fan of the UK TV show, The Great Pottery Throwdown I have developed a fascination for hand-building and handcrafting things using clay. Some amazing person uploaded the whole 7th season here, so get in there before it’s taken down! So I tentativelyContinue reading “Polymer clay figurine making is a small big pleasure”
