It has become increasingly difficult to tell the difference between a naturally and a humanly created diamond these days. Both can be breathtakingly beautiful. Both can sparkle and shine and dazzle and both can even have value. The difference between the two is the story of their creation. The humanly created diamond is created for … Continue reading DIE MEND

AND THE GARDEN STILL GROWS
How the world can change in the blink of an eye. A trajectory of fulfilment and hope, stability and security suddenly crashed by words and actions of others and all that is left is ruin. No winner. Just numbness and questioning. And as I sit and hold the pieces of a shattered goal (yet another) … Continue reading AND THE GARDEN STILL GROWS
life
I have heard a lot of debate about life. what is life, how is it measured, when does it start, when does it end. I have been thinking about my own life too. there have been many times, many times when I didn’t want it to go on, when I wanted it to stop. recently … Continue reading life
