  • To err is human

    My mother has always been my favorite person. Despite having friends around me, her friendship and companionship cannot be replaced by anyone else. I believe I have become more like her as the days go by. There are times when I get extremely annoyed with her because, you know, to err is human.

    On certain days, I would avoid talking to her and keeping in contact with her. Yet, on those days, I feel restless, and it seems like the days are not fruitful. I used to be very negligent in calling anyone for any matters, yet this year I have been on constant calls with her, talking for hours without any proper topics. And it goes on and on…

    So, she is definitely my favorite person.

  • POPPY the best of all!

    Favorite animal? I don’t have a specific favorite, but if I were to choose, it would be dogs. I remember we had a dog named POPPY when we were young. POPPY was a faithful companion who seemed to understand our language and had a great affection for us. It would even hunt down small animals that posed a threat to our crops and accompany my dad on hunting trips. Unfortunately, POPPY passed away around the age of 10 or 11.

    After that, my parents couldn’t bring themselves to adopt another dog. Some dogs we had later either got lost at a young age or were unfortunately hit by vehicles, especially since we live near the National highway. I miss having such loyal friends around. I recall how, when POPPY was with us, I could confidently stay with my younger siblings in my parents’ absence at night. We knew that POPPY wouldn’t allow anyone to harm us. It used to sleep right outside our bedroom instead of its kennel when our parents were away, guarding us throughout the night without taking a nap. I wish I could meet a dog like POPPY again.

  • Reason why I choose Mountain over beach

    What can be more enticing than spending life in the mountains? You have a cool breeze and an unlimited supply of resources from nature that is unharmed and untouched. Most importantly, you get to enjoy serendipity in the pursuit of life satisfaction. We can use solar energy or wind energy for power supply and also enjoy network connectivity as it’s available in most parts of the country. Even if we don’t have internet facilities, we have nothing to worry about because we have nature to accompany us. Of course, I don’t dislike the beach; it’s one of the best places to relieve stress and enjoy life, yet the satisfaction that mountain life offers outweighs the former. So, I am definitely going for mountain life.

  • Home food

    Oh God, this makes me feel homesick all over again. There are foods that I enjoy with my family. Wait! Chillax… I am drooling now :D. If you are a vegetarian or non-meat eater, this may not be for you. We love to have simple locally made chicken curry with local spices. Oh yeah, and it’s not bought but rare. So, that makes a difference for us. We love to sit and complain about salt, chili, etc., haha, and enjoy the food. We also love to eat other foods like pork, fish, and ducks with our own cuisine or sometimes with Indian spices, but very rarely with spices other than turmeric and chili powder.

  • Lessons from Esther the QUEEN

    If I could ever meet a historical person, I would love to meet Queen Esther. I would definitely love to listen to and learn from her how devoted she is to her creator and how she saved her people from the persecution of a wrathful man. Instead of resting on her alluring beauty and enjoying the luxurious life as a queen, she never forgets her people and her roots. Through her sacrifices and pleas, she not only saved herself but also her king and her people. This is something that I really admire about her. I would definitely like to meet her and ask her to teach me how, with great courage and fervent prayers, she was able to do it.
