A rant is due from a long time. Here it goes: One time I had a dream. It was somewhat like this: I woke up from deep sleep, got ready, and went out to buy something. As soon I reached a shop, I asked the shop owner to give me something. He asked me ‘What?’.Continue reading “Acronyms can GFT”
So I recently watched: The Great Conjunction
Rating: 🌟🌟 Of course. A celestial event which last happened 800 years ago when except some astrologers, nobody would have even cared for, happened again.

As they struggle to put on a few feet, theyContinue reading “All Pomp and No Shaw”

Basically, I have been to some places but always tied to a certain place with a cord that could never be broken. I have hardly traveled. When I see YouTubers with backpack travelers, it just fills me with envy andContinue reading “Vagabonding and Lucky Ali”
