Carpe Diem... "Never too old!"
Carpe Diem… “Never too old!”
Yesterday, I met this woman of 74 years of age. I entered the student council office, ready for my briefing to volunteer at the event of the day (Women’s Garden Party in celebration of Women’s Day) and my eyes fell on an aged but content and healthy looking woman sitting on the couch. I assumed she was a relative of a student or perhaps a senior lecturer or something along those lines. My visual…

Travelling Solo
Wow, it’s been ages since I wrote. I promise myself I’ll blog more every time but fail. Oh well, let’s hope this time I keep the streak going! Today’s “topic” of musing: travelling solo.
I get asked this question a lot “why do you travel solo”? And while the one word answer is “Happiness”, I’ll hit you up with the longer version.
I believe that travelling solo can really provide you with a fresh…

Lost
Smoke billowing in the wind Eyes shining with tears unshed She stares up at the starry sky Searching for her lost soul within
Eyes closed, flashes of memory Eyes open, harsh reality She clenches her fists Guilt and pain clawing at her heart
There is nowhere to go, nowhere to hide Stuck like a wheel forgotten in time She lets out a sigh, pursing her lips There is no room for weakness, impossible to…

Friendship
I realised today it’s almost been a month again since my last post, and well, it’s time to let off some steam. (Side note: Going to try and break the pattern, and write more often). Word of warning: this is really a stream of consciousness type post.
Friendship.
It’s a loosely thrown-around term, but it means so much. Almost anyone you meet can become a friend, sometimes instantly, sometimes it…

A month ago, I wrote about making a tough decision. A decision that involved a huge change in my life. It involved a lot of anxiety, confusion, uncertainty, and thrill. Today, I complete one week of living that decision: my move to Canberra (Australia).
So far, I have been settling in. Shifting to an apartment from a temporary hostel, shopping tons of stuff to get started, managing my time with evening classes and work all day, and balancing all that with staying healthy and keeping in touch with my loved ones thousands of miles away.
It’s been one hell of a ride. You would think, after having been to and lived in four different countries, armed with plenty of experience in meeting people and adjusting to new places, moving here would be a breeze. Surprisingly, it’s not. Each place is different, each culture is unique, and every single move is difficult. The term difficult also comes with the tags of exciting, adventurous, refreshing, and learning though, which is what makes it worthwhile.
I am trying my best to be as involved in everything as possible, get a jumpstart on my work and academics, and make the most of my time here (all while keeping in budget)! It is a task but not an impossible one. To cap it off, I am glad I made the decision and took the leap of faith. New ventures, new opportunities, and so many new horizons have opened up since my arrival here, and it’s only been a week! There’s so much to explore, within me and around me, that 24 hours are just not enough.
Of course, there are times when the feeling of loneliness creeps in, when it’s painful and sad to miss the loved ones, when what’s coming ahead seems like an abyss of ambivalence; but reassuring myself that this is all for the better, for my growth, and having the support of those who matter the most, helps a lot.
So, yes, change is scary, but it is also worth it. Stepping out of that comfort zone for a week has already taught me so many things, and am looking forward to the journey ahead 🙂
A little sneak peek at my life here:

When a chapter begins...
When a chapter begins…
Starting something new in life can be terrifying. More than the end of a chapter, the beginning of one is what makes me anxious. There is a certain uncertainty – am I making the right decision? Is this going to lead me to a better future? Is this going to prove fruitful? Am I going to be able to fulfil the expectations attached to it?
This post has been sitting in my drafts for a month now, but…

Why do you write?
Why do you write? For yourself? For others? Self-therapy or sharing of ideas?
Last week, I blogged about reconnecting with reading. Today, I came across a post asking why write…. and it got me thinking, as an aspiring writer, and someone who dabbles in short stories and fan-fiction (judge all you like!), why exactly do I write?
For the most part, I think I write for myself. It is therapeutic in a sense, an outlet for my emotions, a medium to express my thoughts in a…

Reconnecting with reading
I have always called myself an avid reader. However, it had been a while since I found myself engrossed in a good book, or touched by words on paper. Determined to discover my lost bookworm again, I read over 20 books in the past 11 months, and just when I had thought I would never reconnect with the written word again, was almost on the verge of losing hope, I was introduced to An Interpretation…
