Whilst immersing myself in the spirit of Ramadan, I decided to take a break from my blog. Though many thoughts came to my mind in that blessed month, which I wanted to make a note of, I decided to focus on working on ways to capitalise on the finite time endowed to me to earnContinue reading “Ramadan Reflections”

Ramadan Reparations 1445

My Sister’s Cat
It has been a tumultuous week. Shifu, the Master, my sister’s pet cat, who was a beautiful presence in our lives, has left this world forever. He had brought so much happiness in the lives of all those who’d met or known him. For that reason, he will never leave our hearts. He epitomised theContinue reading “My Sister’s Cat”

I am particular about keeping it presentable, clean and tidy but my interest in doing anything more than that is minimal. At this stage of my life too, I no longer derive any real pleasureContinue reading “Where Next?”
Travel Light
The only luggage we need to take with us as we exit this world is a stack of good deeds. Everything else is superfluous. That’s why I no longer aspire to update my material wealth. I no longer covet the next best version of my phone or car. I have reconciled myself to aspiring toContinue reading “Travel Light”
