Everyone drops 'carpe diems' at the merest hint of having a smartish quote ready but these two phrases below actually appeal to me more: vivere est cogitare: to live is to think vive ut vivas: one should live their live to the fullest and without fear of possible consequences. See? Better than just seizing the... Continue Reading →
Latin Week: Prima Die
I sometimes get weird ideas. I say weird because it comes unbidden, without known provocation and might seem really unusual to the readers. But be as that may, it seemed to me that doing a mini post on Latin phrases that I like, am inspired by might make an interesting change and it's definitely something... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Inside Out
All that glitters is not gold and every animated flick isn't just a kiddy movie. When I made plans for Inside Out I didn't expect to see a movie that was as well fleshed-out, had a lot of important things to convey and loads of nuances. That it's animated is just the icing on the... Continue Reading →
There’s A Dinosaur In My Bra!

Reflections On A Sunday…Yet Again
After a long while I had a lot of space. A LOT. I mean driving-alone-on-a-fairly-secluded-road-with-not-too-many-people-around or too-far-behind-in the-mirror-kind-of-space. And I just took in the solitude along with the car freshner smell and realized: It is SO important to have some totally, totally, totally alone time; away from social media, people and other living beings barring...
