When you think of this life from somewhere beyond, in the years that come by, the days you won’t remember, how will you feel about it?

Will you remember it all as a distant dream from far away whose images and memories seem foreign to you? A thrashing in the wind, a flailing of circumstance?

Or will you see it as the exercise of something greater than that, where you took control over your fate, your voice, existence?

The path of memories lies ahead for all of us, and countless others brighter than me have theorized about it – that it is preordained, free, existential, nonexistent.

But what remains true is that we go through life on our own, no matter how many dozens come along with us.

In this life, we must carry our own crosses – that has been true and so it will stay, in this wild and strange journey of life.

It is likely that you have heard from an early age that “seeing is believing.”  As life goes on, it becomes clear that that advice is only partly effective. There are many things in this world that can be true even if we cannot see that they are true. That […]

The Value Of Time

I am writing this after contemplating Fanon’s “Black Skin, White Masks” and undertaking a full sequence of reading on the way to reading Homi K. Bhabha’s “The Location of Culture” upon Shahril Hamdan’s recommendation – incidentally, after failing to understand it and after complaining to Shahril, I realized that perhaps […]

Secretlab Atlas VS Titan Evo: A Review!

Got the SecretLab Atlas because I wanted to see what Secretlab’s task chair setup was like after having purchased 7 different Secretlab Titan chairs across time. Beyond vibe, which it does check (in a different way from the Titan), it is quite different from the Titan Evo in a few […]
