I had said I wouldn't. But to be honest, I just couldn't resist. Hello World. 250 and going Strong. Here's to all those who put in Work,

My Dearest Baker
My Dearest Baker, You've been there in some of the sweetest moments of my life (you even baked a lot of them). You've stuck with me even when I was like dough that didn't set (I'm probably not
The Soundtrack to The Journey
Hello, Everyone. If you've been following my life's story so far( and I mean, who isn't, it's great stuff) you'll know that I've recently graduated. Now that that's done, it's time to take the next big step in
Do You.
An incomplete post, inspired by a friend Do You. Filter Out the Noise and Concentrate. Don't get carried away by another man's achievements. You have your own tides to swim against. You're not always going to be as
My Random Pre-Birthday Thoughts
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream. One of my earliest memories is of my mother singing me this nursery rhyme while we were on an actual
An Old Soldier's Recollections
"In war, there are no unwounded soldiers" I once saw this words in a quote by a man named José Narosky. As I looked at the men and women arrayed around me - most of them already fidgeting
5 Things I've Learnt from These Exams
I wrote this during my undergraduate days or to be precise, on April 5th. First off, it feels really good to be able to say "During my undergraduate days".😂 After 16 years of non stop academic endeavour, I'm
Testing Okafor's Law
I saw Okafor's Law last weekend. Now, before reading any further, have you seen the movie? If you haven't, minimise this and head to the cinemas now. It's a really cool movie. A very passable attempt. I personally
Who Broke Mr. Dumpty
Note To Self: Think Once, Think Again and Give it some more deep thought before you do it. I've given myself a new rule. Never take action based on a single emotion. Especially if it's anger. Or even
#LoveIs On My Phone
"Hey Honey" I said with my just-waking-up voice. "Yes dear?" My new found love replied, also in a sleepy voice. I smiled, totally content at hearing that angelic voice. Ah, the feeling of knowing someone was dedicated completely
#LoveIs The Best Idea
I've got an idea. I usually have those a lot. Mostly good ones, but some of them terrible. This idea though, is in the former category. In fact, I think it's my best idea yet.😊 Yes, there have
#LoveIs God
Dear February, it's your first Sunday this year. The first Sunday since we started the \LoveIs and \LoveIsNot campaign. Well, since nobody else has gone spiritual with this, that unenviable task falls to me. Unenviable, not because talking
#LoveIsNot Just Fancy Words
I'll probably never be able to put fabulous words together. Probably never write poetry that'll melt your heart like butter. Most likely never tell jokes that'll fill your mouth with laughter. I'm awkward in conversation and a real
#LoveIs What Makes February So Special
February. The month of Love.💑 I'm usually not a February person. Never really liked the month. Too much sentimental heart shaped poison gas in the air. 😷 Recently though, I've found that I'm becoming more amenable to the
An Unlettered Perspective
"Dear once friend," Weird salutation? I know. A tad over-dramatic too. The people I'm writing to and still my friends, mostly anyway. "You've been unfair to me." No, scratch that. It sounds too petulant. Let me try again.
Good Morning, '17
Hello, 2017. It's nice to meet you. My name's Etin. You seem familiar, like an old friend. Maybe it's because you're a graduation year. A year I've been waiting for ever since my freshman year. A little impatient
Until The Next Insurmountable Mountain
"Impossible". "Can't". "Certainly Not". "Unsustainable" "Unrealistic" "Not Important" We've heard them, time and time again, use these words, and so many others like them, to describe our dreams, visions, goals, ambitions. They've told us, with eloquent elucidation, precisely
All Fall Down
There are days when the euphoria of a new achievement comes. You're on top of the world, it seems you're never gonna fall. But I'm sure you've heard before, the saying about things that go up, No matter
What I've Noticed While Noticing Things
A few days ago, after I had resumed for my fourth year at the university, I was introduced to a certain girl, a fellow student, I had never met before. Now, I'm a very sociable and popular person
Leveling Up: My Life is A Lot Like Super Mario
For one of my early birthdays (before puberty, the good ol' days), my uncle got me a very special gift. A video game console. My very first video game console. It was a 16 bit processing Sega Mega
