Leaving a Mark
We leave traces everywhere. Some vanish in moments, others last beyond our lifetime. A footprint in the sand fades with the tide, while a carved name on stone outlives generations. Not all marks are physical—sometimes, a single word, a smile, or a shared glance lingers in someone’s memory, altering the course of their day or…

The Rhythm of My Steps

I walk. Not because I must, but because I have come to crave it. The harbor roads have become my allies—silent companions that never ask but always offer. The railings, the asphalt, the shifting river, and the glow of streetlights—they greet me as familiarly as an old friend. Without intending to, I have filled my…

Inside the Flow of Time
The passage reflects on our relationship with time, transitioning from viewing it as a companion to recognizing its fleeting nature.

The architecture alone feels like a living metaphor—a modern marvel that shelters relics of the past, bridging centuries and civilizations under its intricate dome. As I walked through galleries adorned with…

Chasing Time~
It’s a funny thing, time. I remember as a child not minding time at all; being and living in the moment; existing in a plane where time had no say in my business. Then slowly things begin to change. Time would no longer allow itself to be ignored. It wants to assert its managerial role…

Eutopia in a bubble
Have you ever frozen time, captured perfection, wrapped it in a bubble and discovered your Eutopia? To do that even once, is to come closer to who we were meant to be…

The absence of stillness
We live in a universe where nothing is ever still. All is moving at different speeds from the slow to the mind boggling, inconceivably fast. Even in sleep, parts of us travel, they dream, they journey into worlds unknown. In the minutest of worlds, protons and neutrons are pulsing and living. To travel in mental…
