Prologue: As I said in my earlier entry, I’m aware I’m writing this from a privileged perspective. Likely, not everyone who reads this have the same luxuries as I do. I acknowledge it and empathise if you’re going through a rough patch because of the pandemic. By the time this is posted, Circuit Breaker would …
Quickfire: Racism
Injustice and Inequality are some things that really gets my goat, whether it’s on tv/movies, or in real life. To be honest, I don’t know much about the history of African-Americans in the US, or their plights, other than what I see in news or in fiction.

Though there was literally nothing noteworthy that happened , some sort of awakening and “re-assesment" is abuzz internally. I am not alone in this for sure. Many people had to drastically change their …
Sanity during Circuit Breaker

All these are done with the main objective of bringing profit to our company. Altruistically, this is a feel-good job …

Book Review: Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
I’ve known about Eat Pray Love for about five years already. I knew there was a following on this book, especially when it became a movie. However, at the time, I didn’t join the bandwagon because I thought it would be one of those very boring and dragging novels to read. It wasn’t until a …
