How do you use social media? Somewhat intermittently! That is compared to previously, where I was literally glued to social media platforms. I was (ok, still am) obsessed with politics and how the political permeates all aspects of life – and given the current course of political craziness, I self-imposed a limit on just how…

Clamping my creativity …
Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind. Surprisingly, when asking someone who tends to overthink “what will your next thought be?” Or “jot down the first thing that comes to your mind?”it can extinguish spiralling thought and or creativity.

It’s the simple things that are actually priceless.

Lessons that transcend time and space
Describe something you learned in high school. Whilst in high school I continued to learn that I was somewhat different to my siblings. How? Pretty obvious when your parents who were struggling through their individual and collective grief, and living below the poverty line, moved heaven and earth to move me to a catholic girls…
