Starting a new job in the last week of April has been an exciting shift, but also a demanding one. The pace and responsibilities have kept me incredibly busy – so much so that I’ve had little time for creative thinking or personal updates. It’s not a situation I enjoy being in, but it’s also […]

I haven’t written here in a while. Life happenned. Had a Tim Hortons coffee and a bagel for lunch. Feels good. A bit too busy with filing taxes this week. Great news is – the weather has been crazy good past few days. It’s been such a rare thing here for the past 6 months.

Nicer day. Got up late, had a few calls to cath up with friens/family. It was cloudy/windy rainy, still ventured out. That’s the best thing. It’s even more important to go out on the days you don’y feel like it. Sometimes our past experiences stop us from enjoying new ones. If something didn’t work in

I was in downtown today after many months. It was a good experience. Met a friend after a while and discussed life, work and everything in between.

 I still see many folks still maintaining their blogs. Blogging almost stopped since fb took over about 12 years back. It was much easier to build a close audience there. I’ve tried vlogging, but it doesn’t seem to be my thing. I’m yet to make friends with Video, but I REALLY need to express myself
