As a kid, I wanted to be more like my older siblings. I wouldn’t say they are the bravest people that I’ve met, even if, back then, it did feel like they were my magical protectors and nothing (living or otherwise) could destroy them. Somehow, even as kids, they knew how to not let fear…

People and motion are the only two constants in a city. Everyone has to reach somewhere and everyone is in a hurry to get there. The fight to be the first is a rough one and rush hour does a brutal job of weeding out the weakest link. And where there’s motion — there’s noise.…

H2O. It’s the magic formula, in which, two atoms of Hydrogen and one atom of Oxygen, bind together, to form a molecule of water. This week’s challenge takes me back to our college Chemistry lab, when we conducted experiments with acids, alkalies, and water. Honestly, I never really liked chemistry.

Do perfect trips exist in the real world? As a seasoned traveller, I’d have to say, there is no such thing as a perfect trip. Things are meant to go wrong. On the eve of your departure: you will forget your debit card at the ATM, a thunderstorm will ominously circle over clear blue skies,…
